Royal Sabotage The Series

WEB SERIES “ROYAL SABOTAGE” ANNOUNCES MARCH 7, 2012 AS DUAL PREMIERE DATE FOR MUCH-ANTICIPATED EPISODE UNVEILING AND WEBSITE LAUNCH

First Three Episodes Are Set to Premiere on RoyalSabotage.com with Exclusive West Hollywood Launch Party to Follow on March 10^th

Royal Sabotage Productions is pleased to announce the long-awaited dual launch of the website www.royalsabotage.com and the first three episodes of the sure-to-be groundbreaking series “Royal Sabotage,” the first original web series from the Los Angeles-based writing/producing team of Kingsley Benham and JJ Wienkers on March 7, 2012, live at 10am PST.  After months of buzzed-about previews at West Hollywood hotspots teasing the show’s 24-episode first season and the growth of an eagerly-awaiting online fan base, the gender and genre-crossing “Royal Sabotage” will continue to unveil new episodes twice-weekly through the end of May at www.royalsabotage.com as well as the YouTube-hosted site www.youtube.com/royalsabotagechannel.  In addition, a launch party will be held at West Hollywood’s posh nightclub, REVOLVER, on March 10th. 

A hilarious mixture of "Entourage (on a Budget)" meets "It's Always Sunny… (in WeHo)," the comedy series follows fun-employed ne’er do well Royal Stevenson, played by Benham, trying to find his place in the world while not avoiding the temptations that only life as an out and beyond exceptionally proud twenty-something self-proclaimed gay socialite can offer.  Hopping between brunches, bars, and the occasional stranger’s bed, Royal stumbles closer to his family, trips into the arms of an ex, and falls for his best friend’s flame, eventually sobering up long enough to realize that there may be more to life than expensive whiskey and less-awkward sex.  After all, he can’t take money from his loved ones forever, but just as they know, the audience too will discover his biggest secret of all: a well-meaning heart of gold tucked beneath a self-centered, self-indulgent, un-self-aware exterior.

Loosely inspired by their lives and the lives of their friends, executive producers Benham and Wienkers (co-starring as Royal’s best friend Vegas) have teamed with producers Kimberly Eaton, and actor/producers Patrick Gomez and Alexis Bloom, who also appear as Antonio, Royal’s ex-love and current stalker, and Lily, Royal’s older sister.  Rounding out the cast is Lindsey Moore Ford, who appears as Beau Bardot, Royal's assistant (actual), sidekick (by default), and family (you can't deny love... even when you think the person is crazy). "Royal has become our favorite person to root for, to cringe at, and to envy with his ‘carefree’ life, if only for 3 minutes at a time,” says Benham.  “Within hours of posting our first fundraising video a little over four months ago, the response was so overwhelmingly positive that we knew we were onto something big.”  The launch party will take place from 1pm – 4pm on Saturday, March 10^th, at REVOLVER in West Hollywood, located at 8851 Santa Monica Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90069.
