Trey Knowles’ The American Esau is a funny stand-up piece in which Trey travels to Arkansas to visit his friend Esau—a redheaded lawyer who loves guns and blowing things up. Esau takes Trey hunting to introduce him to his way of life, proudly showing off his passion for destruction. As the trip unfolds, Trey tries to understand why Esau kills animals he has no intention of eating. The mystery deepens when Trey reveals that Esau once possessed a special birthright—the Book of Truth—but traded it away for a gun so he could continue destroying things.
