Honey Honey Moon Moon
Comedy band and married duo Couplet brings their award-winning Fringe show to Ashland! With catchy songs and Muppet-y energy, they tell the story of the queer Jewish wedding that almost didn’t happen. Guitar and fiddle in hand, they fought off bed bugs, wildfires, and one very judgy couples therapist to bring you this hour-long musical comedy. Debuted at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival on their actual honeymoon. Directed by husbands Eric Michaud and Chris Grace (Superstore, Dropout).

Hailing from Los Angeles, Marnina Schon (she/they) and Micah O’Konis (they/them) are both classically trained in violin & guitar and sing in perfect harmony, even when they’re fighting. Having been described as “this generation’s Flight of the Conchords” and also “like my annoying aunt’s annoying friends”, last year they went on to tour Honey Honey Moon Moon (directed by Chris Grace & Eric Michaud) and were invited to perform at various prestigious venues worldwide.
The duo is best known for their queer anthem “People Think We’re Straight” and the cautionary tale about their couples therapist “Jacquelyn Denfark.” Even P!NK jumped on the bandwagon by reposting their viral holiday song “Hot Hanukkah.” Couplet has been seen in the New York Times, the Guardian, and heard on BBC Radio 4. The New York Post called them “that comedy duo”. They perform regularly at UCB, Dynasty Typewriter, The Elysian, and other theatres around LA and across the US, and have created sketches with the likes of Josh Gad, Michaela Watkins and Seth Rogen.
As an actor, Marnina starred in Sundance selection comedy-drama Chanshi with Henry Winkler and Netflix’s Unstable with Rob Lowe and Fred Armisen. She also features in national commercials, including one as ‘Creepy Violinist’, a part she trained for her whole life. As a writer, Micah creates new shows every month with Quick & Funny Musicals at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade theatre. Their music has been featured in films, TV, and commercials. Recently, Micah co-created the musical Good Guy with a Gun! along with songwriter Philip Labes. A concept album premiering this new American satire comes out this summer featuring Chris Sullivan, Kimiko Glenn, Anthony Rapp, Richard Kind, Vic Michaelis, and Kristen Schaal… plus, a cameo from Couplet!
