As you’re probably aware, a couple weeks ago we announced our upcoming run at the de Maat Theatre at Piper’s Alley – Batterymouth: It Burns. While we announced our run, we didn’t announce our list of opening acts.

Guess what I’m about to do in this blog post.

That’s right, I’m about to announce our list of opening acts! Here they are:

Honor Student Breakfast will be opening for us on January 21, Electric Lunchbox will be opening for us on January 28, Wildcard will be opening for us on February 4, Tina with the Weather will be opening for us on February 11 and our dear friends Long Pork will be opening for us on February 18.

We hope we’ll see you at Batterymouth: It Burns not just to see us, but to see some of these great acts as well.

Announcing Our Run at the deMaat Theatre

Hey Batterymouth fans, we’ve got great news – we’re going to be performing at the deMaat Theatre at Piperʼs Alley, 1616 N. Wells Ave., every Friday night at 7:30pm from January 21 through February 18, 2011 with our five week run of Batterymouth: It Burns.

This is our first run with a new form we’ve been workshoping for the past several months. After receiving one suggestion from the audience, Zack and I will perform an original 30-minute show consisting of one scene charged with the dynamics of two-person relationships and anchored in real time. We’re basically throwing theatre and improv together as we create a one-act, comedic play written on the fly.

Be sure to stay tuned for more information about the run such as the list of our six opening acts and other details. We hope we’ll see you for a performance of Batterymouth: It Burns.

You know what always gets everyone in the mood for Christmas? Long form improv.

That’s why you should join us on December 22nd at 8:00pm at The Playground for an evening of long form improvisation.  We’ll be performing along with Rhythm Method and the Pre-Party, which is a weekly improv mash-up. Tickets are only $10, so come on out to the show before you jump head first into a sea of ho-ho-hos and awkward stocking stuffers.

Inside Jokes

Normally, we’re not big fans of improviser-only inside jokes, but this is pretty funny. Check out this video from Peter Kremidas, who improvises along with me at ComedySportz Chicago. If you’re an improviser, you’ll think it’s hilarious. Even if you’re not, you’ll probably still think it’s hilarious.
