Is Boston comedy dead?

2008-04-13T23:03:34-05:00

I hope not. My group has been working with others to try and keep things alive in this city. But so many people come in and out it’s a rest stop for most talented writers/performers. It would totally rock if you guys checked out some what’s in this great town.

We are desperately trying to hole on to our comedy city, if you’re ever in beantown check out the improve or Remmingtons, there is a lot of great local talent.

I know Chicago, NY, and LA are still huge. But does ANYONE think of Boston anymore?

Sketch Fundraiser for Filipino Toxic Waste Victims seeks performers

2008-04-08T09:22:47-05:00

I’m Laurel and I’m organizing a comedy benefit on Wednesday, June 11, 2008, at Under St. Mark’s Theatre in the East Village (a great space that’s agreed to donate the theatre for a night to help out a great cause!).

All the cash from the event will go to toxic waste victims in the Philippines (you can read more about the community in need here: http://www.kamayatpuso.org, I visited these kids in summer 07, and I’m sure if you met them too you’d wanna do something awesome for them!). The show is tentatively titled POVERTY SUCKS.

I’m looking for some awesome NYC or near-NYC Filipino American comedians/ sketch troupes/ improv troupes with Filipino American performers who’d be willing to perform alongside my non-Filipino pals! I’ll have more details firmed up once we get closer to the date, but it looks like each group will do 15-20 minutes, depending on how many groups sign on, and we’ll also hold a raffle and a couple of funny auctions that night, too.

Please let me know if you’re interested in performing, I’d love to have you! Send along clips, scripts and band MP3s!

Thanks!

Back to the Future Trilogy Sweded

2008-02-28T01:05:12-05:00

Hey Everyone,

We just released our Back to the Future Trilogy Swede on youtube. Hope everyone gets a good laugh out of it.

For those who don’t know what a swede is it comes from the recently released movie “Be Kind Rewind” starring Jack Black and Mos Def directed by the talented Michel Gondry.
