So I had this realization the other day that there are really a good number of celebrity look-a-likes within the Chicago improv circle. Right? Am I right? I’m right, right? So…the obvious one would be Adrien Brody’s local doppleganger, David Pasquesi. But, there certainly are more out there…for instance, I went to see The Cougars final performance at iO a couple of weeks back, and I couldn’t help but notice how much Patrick Stonelake looks like Adam Corolla. Am I right? I’m SO right. Anyway…I thought that it would be fun to pick Batterymouth’s celebrity look-a-likes…and it WAS fun…and here is what I came up with:
Right? Am I right guys?
That’s right, Friday- April 17th at Midnight, Batterymouth will be playing at the Playground Theatre along with teams Guitar Baby, and Double Stuff. So go get your drink on at the Town Hall Pub which has a photo booth, and a great jukebox, then mosey on down the road to the Playground (where I spent most of my days…), and have some laughs with us. We love you. And we want you to be there. Hi- five!
Get your calendars out and block off May 12, because Batterymouth is going to be performing at The Playground at 8pm on that very day. We’re sharing the bill with Texas Giant, Charles Grodin (a Charles Grodin, not the Charles Grodin) and Stranger for a Day, so it will be an evening just jam-packed with long form improv. How much is the show going to cost? Just five bucks. And The Playground is BYOB, so that’s one cheap evening of big laughs.
So, The Playground, May 12 at 8pm. Hope we’ll see you there.
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.
Alright…I’m going to need everyone’s help here, and by everyone I mean anyone who happens to be reading this blog (I’m talking to you Mr. White Curvy from Abu Dhabi).
Has anyone out there ever had a memory that is so distant and so dim that you almost feel as though you might have made it up? A memory so vague that you need to share it with friends who might…possibly…have that same memory, and might…possibly…be able to flesh out the details that are, for whatever reason, escaping you? Anyone? Bueller? Surely someone has heard that sweet reply of ”You’re SO right. Crystal Pepsi DID taste weird”, or even “No doubt! The Peanut Butter Solution was one messed up kids’ movie”. Well…I had one of those memories bubble up to the surface today:
I sort of remember a fast food restaurant chain called Rax from my childhood. I remember that they had roast beef sandwiches. And…the kicker…I remember that they had these plastic, alligator-shaped, sippy-cups. That’s what I remember. Now…I know that I’m not totally crazy because I found this image online that verifies that Rax is legit. But…when I (enthusiastically) brought it up at work today, nobody had heard of Rax, no one remembered that they had roast beef sandwiches, and when I brought up the alligator sippy-cup everyone looked at me like I was crazy. Soooooooo…does anyone out there…anyone at all…remember a fast food chain called Rax with roast beef sandwiches and alligator sippy-cups? Please help me out here. I need to share this memory with someone
Awwww…I just sounded kind of sweet there. Or maybe kind of creepy. Anywho.
