Long Pork presents SodaBatterymouth’s own Zack Whittington and the rest of Long Pork will be performing at the Apollo Theater Studio every Saturday night at 8pm through May 23 and this Saturday is their opening night!

The sketch show they’re going to be performing is called Soda and for those of you who are familiar with these guys, it’s an expanded version of the show they performed at the Chicago Sketch Comedy Festival. And, keep in mind “expanded version” = “new, never-before-seen material.”  In my honest opinion, these guys are crazy funny and I personally can’t wait to see some new material from them.

Speaking of, Mark and I will be there at this Saturday’s performance so if you want to watch Long Pork and hang out with Batterymouth, this Saturday is the night to do it.  Come help us laugh at Zack, you know, in a good way…

Batterymouth Opens for the Globber Girls this Sunday

As promised, Batterymouth will be hitting the stage once again this Sunday opening for the Globber Girls at The Playground.  The show is at 10:00pm and is only $5 which is a ticket price so low that you can’t shake a stick at it.  Seriously, I dare you to find a stick and shake it at that $5 ticket price.  You can’t do it.  For reals.

So, if you made it out to our run at the Apollo Theater Studio, we hope you’ll come out to this performance and catch us again.  If you didn’t make it out to our previous run because you had things to do on Wednesdays, well, here’s your opportunity to catch us for the first time.

So, this Sunday.  10:00 pm.  The Playground.  Opening for the Globber Girls.  $5.  No stick shaking.

Thanks Everybody

This past Wednesday, we wrapped up our six week run at Chicago’s very own Apollo Theater Studio.  On behalf of Batterymouth, I want to give a big “thank you” to everyone who came out to catch us at any point during the run.  Thanks for supporting long form improv.  You’re awesome.

Speaking of being thankful to our audience, way to come up with some kick ass suggestions!  I’ve got to say, we got something unique and different every week, which gave us a lot of cool stuff to play with.  Here’s the list of suggestions, in order:

* Singing Telegram
* Venus
* Waffles
* Loose
* Carrots
* Treasure Troll

Yep, those are still awesome.

And, of course, thank you to all of the fabulous groups who opened for us throughout the run - The Fling, The Cosby Sweaters, Nipple Competition, Valid Hysteria and Salmon.  It really was humbling to be able to share the same stage as these guys and gals every week.

So, thanks again to everybody and be sure to keep checking out our website to see when we’ll be performing next.  I’m sure we’ll be adding some new performances in the next month or so, but in the meantime, next stop: Twin Cities Improv Festival.

Schedule Change - Salmon Opens for Us Tomorrow

Improv is nothing if not spontaneous.  So, in the spirit of that, the opening group for tomorrow’s show at the Apollo Theater Studio is changing and will now be Salmon!  While you might not know Salmon, you almost definitely know it’s improvisers - Pat Dwyer and Erin Pallesen of Kerpatty and Erin Rooney of Nipple Competition.  All three of these folks are hilarious separately, so you can imagine how funny they’ll be together - or maybe you can’t!  Maybe they’ll be so funny that you can’t even wrap your head around it.  There’s only one way to find out…

The show is still at 8:00pm, it’s still our last show of this run and we’re still going out to Irish Eyes afterwards.  So, come catch Salmon, come catch Batterymouth and help us celebrate the end of a great run!

Last Show This Wenesday…

This coming Wednesday will be the last show of our six week run at the Apollo Theater Studio.  Our good friends, Nipple Competition, will be opening for us and we anticipate a fun-filled, go-out-with-bang night of improv.  The show starts at 8:00, but make sure to get there early so that you can grab a drink from the bar and get cozy (the bartender usually splits at 8:05).  Afterwards we will be going out to Irish Eyes for a little after show beverage and possibly a punching contest…yes…a punching contest (don’t worry, no one gets hurt).  So come out…bring your friends, bring your enemies, bring your significant others, bring your moms and dads, bring your boss, bring your party pants, and bring your laughter…lots and lots of laughter.
