About
A Stand-Up Comedy Show that was once on KZSC Santa Cruz. 88.1 FM. But now this is just a blog without a show. Now the blog is the show.Following
The UCB theatre troupe is putting on a show at the Rio Theatre in Santa Cruz, and John Gemberling (Fat Guy Stuck in the Internet) of the troupe is calling in tonight to discuss the upcoming show.
Ladies and Gentlemen I present to you an interview I did with the UCSC Improv Troupe Humor Force Five (HFV). They are cool cats.
If you’re in the area, on campus or just plain near go to this. I highly recommended it.
Today I found this MLIA:
“Today, I stuck a hand into my coat pocket and found five dollars. Wrapped inside of the five dollars, there was a note. “You have just been reverse pickpocketed. Enjoy this five dollars in knowing that it was forcibly received by your pocket; take that, society.” I then proceeded to stick both the money and note into another victim’s pocket.”
It reminds me of something Improv Everywhere would do. If you are not familiar with them then I would love to inform you with this video.
They are a group of awesome people that do public improv. Rather than perform on a stage, they interact on the streets.
It’s things like these that I wish I was in New York, because then I could go to UCB Theatre and be around people like this…
Holy shit, hunting out the link for UCB theatre I just found out that there is a sister theatre of their’s in LA. Score!
UPRIGHT CITIZENS BRIGADE!
I miss their show.
The video is on Facebook.
Pulled this word for word from the Facebook event:
The Improvathon is Actors’ Theatre’s biggest fund-raiser of the year! Improvers from all over the county crawl out of the cracks and take to the stage in support of the Actors’ Theatre.
Here’s how it works: For a whole day, various Improv Troupes take the stage for sets of around 45 minutes, and audiences can rotate in and out of the theatre whenever they want!
For a minimum donation of $10, you get a free all-day ticket that lets you see any of the shows. Drop by and catch a few shows, step out for a bite to eat, and return to polish the day off with another helping of improv fun! Or stick around the whole time, its up to you!
Already confirmed troops include local favorites like Loose Cannon, You Had To Be There, The Funatics, and Scriptease!
You can even form a troupe and perform at the Improvathon on Sunday, November 1st, if you want to. But, you don’t have to perform to take advantage of the 3 Free Classes every Saturday Oct 17th-Oct 31st! We just think you might want to once you get started.
There will be lots of prizes, laughter, and audience interaction! It’s a blast!
Must be 13 or over to participate.
I had no idea a show like this existed. But now I do.
