You can catch me performing with the Magic Meathands nearly every Thursday night at The Spot Café & Lounge in Culver City. On Thursday, August 27 (next week), I will be a featured player. That means more of me! So come on out! Give suggestions, come join us on-stage, and enjoy great food while we make fools of ourselves!
Tickets: $5. Time: 8:00 PM.
Location: 4455 Overland Ave., Culver City, CA 90230 (Google Maps link)
Come see me & the Magic Meathands haze improv students this Saturday night at 8 PM at The Spot Café & Lounge, 4455 Overland Ave., Culver City CA 90230.
It’ll be haze-tastic!
Quick reminder that I am one of the featured players for this Thursday’s Magic Meathands Comedy Cafe show at The Spot at 4455 Overland Ave. in Culver City. It’s at 8 PM. $5 will get you in the door.
There should be lots of laughs and silliness!
So there’s been a mysterious character roaming our offices recently. His name is Ooka Chaka. He’s been friending us on Facebook. And without warning, he will show up on your desk with a note instructing you to take him home for the weekend, take pictures, upload them to Facebook, and return him to a specific spot in the office on Monday morning. This past weekend, I was hit. So, what else could I do but comply?
So, I thought I’d post it here too, as I posted it to Facebook.
I found this on my desk at the end of the day last Wednesday. I think it speaks for itself.
Driving home from work. I insisted we drive safely.
It didn’t take long to lose control of the situation. A battle over the radio soon broke out. I won’t tell you which one of us preferred Ringo.
(More shocking is that anyone actually uses the radio anymore, much less has a preference about it.)
Thursday night was the weekly Magic Meathands show at The Spot in Culver City. (plug –www.magicmeathands.com – plug)
Of course Ooka had to go.
Before the show started, he decided to do an impromptu set to open for us.
Ooka then hung out with some more Meathands. Heather showed him some improv games that we use to warm up before the show. This one is called “hang loose telephone”.
Ooka really got into this improv thing. Here he is showing off his suggestion for our show. I don’t know why he’s showing it off like that. It’s supposed to be hidden until we’re on stage. That Ooka! Such a rule breaker!
Ooka jumped onstage during our show, nearly tackling Shane! Fortunately Shane’s sexy lips calmed Ooka down.
Friday night, we took a walk around our neighborhood. Ooka took an immediate interest in local print journalism.
We then stopped at a classy upscale restaurant known as Burger King. Ooka was thirsty!
And hungry!
(And lazy.)
He got so hopped up on fake food, he ran out to the Burger King playpen.
Ooka insisted that I take his picture in front of this. I couldn’t tell if he really liked the Jonas Brothers or if he was being ironic.
And Saturday night, it was another Magic Meathands show! Travis had to hold him down to keep him from jumping onstage again.
Soon after this picture, he exploded into a burst of rage and broke the camera on my phone. Needless to say the rest of the weekend was pretty awkward.
Want to see me be silly? Well, you’re in luck! You’ll get to see me perform with the Magic Meathands twice this month.
First, on Saturday, June 13, at 8:00 PM, we put the improv students through their paces for some healthy hazing. Free show!
Then, on Thursday, June 25, at 8:00 PM, I’ll be a featured player for a great show of made-up hoo-hah! And who couldn’t use more hoo-hah? Tickets are $5.
Both shows are at The Spot Café & Lounge in Culver City at 4455 Overland Ave. Hope to see you there!
You need more Improv in your diet!
Fortunately for you there are two extra meaty servings made just for you!
Sure, you can see me as a featured member of the Magic Meathands improv comedy troupe next Thursday, May 14, at 8:00 PM, at The Spot Cafe & Lounge, 4466 Overland Ave., Culver City 90230, for $5. You bet you can!
But wait, there’s more!
You can also see me & the Magic Meathands tomorrow night, May 7! Same time, same place, same price.
And if that isn’t enough, you can also me & the Magic Meathands this Saturday night, May 9. Same place and time (The Spot Cafe & Lounge, 4466 Overland Ave., Culver City 90230, at 8:00 PM) but it’s for FREE!
In case you were wondering (and I’m sure you were), I’m still appearing (nearly) weekly with the improv comedy troupe the Magic Meathands every Thursday night, 8 PM, at The Spot Café & Lounge, 4455 Overland Ave., Culver City. Tickets are $5.
Yes, weekly comedy made up for you right on the spot at The Spot!
Every month or so I’m a featured player, which basically means I’m allowed to hog the stage. My next show as a featured player is Thursday, May 14, 8 PM. Tickets are still $5.
Also, every second Saturday of the month is the Student Medley show, which is when the students of the Magic Meathands company get to showcase what they’ve learned and also perform with us Meathands. So if you can’t make Thursday nights, this is another great way to see the wackiness. The next one is this Saturday, May 9, 8 PM. Tickets are $0 (free).
Hope to see you at The Spot!
A couple of weeks ago, I was formally invited to become a full member of the main company of The Magic Meathands improv comedy ensemble. I was and am honored to be asked, and so of course I accepted!
For the past year, I’ve been studying under director Bill Johnson’s Magic Meathands training program and performing in the Saturday student medley showcases once a month. It’s a great environment to learn and grow. I highly recommend it. (And I don’t even get any kind of commission!)
Now, I’ll be performing with the rest of the very funny main company members on a fairly regular basis on Thursday nights at The Spot Café & Lounge in Culver City, as well as other performances to be announced. Keep an eye on the Magic Meathands’ calendar.
My first show as a featured player of the main company will be next Thursday, January 29th, 8:00 PM. Admission: $5. Again, that’s at The Spot.
I hope to see you there!
The Golden Hour Approacheth!
I’ll be performing with the main company of The Magic Meathands this Thursday at The Spot Café & Lounge in Culver City at 8 PM. Tickets are $5.
Over the last year I’ve been studying under this group’s director Bill Johnson. Some of you have been to the “student medley” shows on Saturdays once a month. This Thursday show will be among my first performances with this wonderful improv group as I (hopefully) transition into the main company.
Please come by and support me, so that they’ll be fooled into thinking I’m really funny.
It’s that time of month again! Yes, it’s time for the monthly improv comedy show with The Magic Meathands! If you haven’t checked it out yet, they have a YouTube channel where they regularly post clips of their Thursday shows.
As before, I’ll be performing with other improvisors at The Spot Café & Lounge at 4455 Overland Ave., Culver City, 90230. It’s between Virginia Ave. and Jefferson Blvd.
The show starts at 8 PM and is absolutely free! There’s also yummy food that The Spot sells, so you can make it a whole night out, if you like.
I hope to see you there!
