About the Show

Computer Show is a technology talk show, set in 1983: The dawn of the personal computing revolution. Awkward hair and awkward suits. Primitive synths and crude graphics. VHS tapes. No Internet.

But there’s a twist: The guests on this show are tech luminaries—experts, founders, thinkers, entrepreneurs—from 2015. They’re real and they’re really on Computer Show to talk about their projects and visions.

Will it go well? Can they break through to the host Gary Fabert (played by Rob Baedeker of the SF-based sketch comedy troupe Kasper Hauser) and his rotating cast of co-hosts, who know of neither iPhone nor website nor Twitter nor… hardly anything?

Join us, won’t you? For… Computer Show, by Sandwich Video.

But one big question remained: What would Sandwich make if Sandwich could make anything?

The answer: a series based in the ’80s called Computer Show.
