Casey Filips: Virtuoso

The Man. The Myth. The Idiot.
Tobias Finlay-Fraser is the greatest actor of his generation. Only problem is, he’s played by little-known comedian Casey Filips. 'Virtuoso' is an award-winning one-man comedy hour following actor Tobias, a pretentious yet charming idiot doing anything he can in the audition of a lifetime.
