The Fifth Contingency

Brodie H. Brockie

Following a brief flirtation with sketch comedy during his formative years (The Comedy Casualties, Sideshow), Brockie decided his real goal was to tap dance his way into America's heart.

Dancing under the name of "Little Timmy Twoshoes," Brockie lent his prancing peds to several touring dance productions, including Get a Load of Them Feets, Dance, You Glorious Bastards! and Don't Mind Waitin': the All Tap Dance Interpretation of Waiting for Godot.

While not yet entirely tapped into America's heart, Brockie by now had at least entered the bloodstream - probably in a capillary somewhere around the elbow.

Next, Brockie teamed with Randolph "Hotfoot" Hotfoot to co-star in a series of tap-dancing films such as Two for the Show, Dance, Your Glorious Bastards: The Movie, Who Can't Get Enough of Seeing Two Guys Tap Dance for Two Hours Straight, and What if Chang and Eng, the World-Famous Siamese Twins were Dancers... and White?

Clearly, Brockie had entered one of America's major arteries.

Television, however, was where an entertainer could find real love. Knowing this, Brockie became the regular center circle on "Dancing for Dollars." It was here that he invented his famous, but short-lived, Slip-N-Slide Dance sensation. After the inevitable accident, the doctors declared that Little Timmy Twoshoes (not so little following seven months in a hospital bed) would dance no more.

Disheartened, but determined to find meaning in a life without dance, Brockie helped form The Fifth Contingency. And the rest, as they say, hasn't happened yet.
