A VERY THANKFUL SAD MAMA IMPROV SHOW!

Sad Mama is three gentlemen cut from the Chicago improv cloth with film and TV credits that include Blackish, Drunk History, Bajillion Dollar Properties, and Killing Reagan.

The show promises to be as strange as those credits listed next to each other.

Thirsty Boys is improv duo Brian James O’Connell and Tommy Bechtold doing two-prov that only they can do. Literally. ‘Cause like – it’s improv.

Deep in their fortress of improvitude, chaos enthusiasts Ck Kimball and Eve Esquire developed a plan to tear down the walls of form and rules for improv.

Black Friday at the Pack Theater, witness several improv teams as they navigate:

-Suggestions from a selection of unknown video clips, speech excerpts and terrible songs.
-Audience members deputized to rush the stage into the scene should they feel moved.
-A tech booth given carte blanche to do whatever they please with sounds and light.
-Two all-seeing improv directors side-coaching from the second floor.

There are no rules. There is no form. There will be a winner chosen at will and a dubious prize.

This is chaos. This is anarchy.

This is Improv Melee.

Go Sketch Yourself is coming to TPT every Friday night!

It’s the weekly sketch open mic where ANYONE can submit their sketches to see how they play in front of a supportive crowd of your sketchy peers! It’s a community cultivated show where writers and performers can try things out, meet new people, test material for shows or packets, and just have a fun time. To submit, just send an e-mail to gosketchyourselfcomedy@gmail.com.
