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!

Thanks to everyone who came to our show on Wednesday - our second of six long form improv shows we’re doing at Chicago’s very own Apollo Theater Studio. Our suggestion was “Venus” and the show included Zack burying Mark in a garden co-op, Mark hitting beers out of my hands (and the air) and onto the floor and me hitting both of them with a roll of paper towels.  I think there were some scenes in there too.  Good times.

For this run we’ve been going all Brechtian and hanging out with folks in the audience pre-show, which has been a good time.  One of the people we chatted with before the show this week was Pat Dwyer of the sketch comedy group Kerpatty.  Outside of the standard pleasantries, we ended up talking about a lip dub video that the group had recently put on YouTube which all three of us had previously watched and enjoyed.  In an interesting follow-up to my Katy Perry blog post, the song that they’re lip dubbing just happens to be “I Kissed a Girl.”  Irony.

Considering the fact that all three of us got a kick out of the video, I figured I might as well share it with all of you at home players here.  Enjoy.
