As you probably know by now, our friends at Long Pork are funny.  Like, really funny. They have their live sketch show and they also make a lot of great videos, like Zombie Chef.

You can imagine my joy/surprise when I heard that they’re making another Zombie Chef video. While we still have to wait for a while before it comes out, in the meantime they’ve decided to share a behind-the-scenes video of the making of the next Zombie Chef, which, in my opinion, stands up in its own right. Check it out below.

The Last Week of Batterymouth: It Burns

It’s almost time for the last performance of Batterymouth: It Burns. We’ve had four great weeks so far and week five will be it.  Here are a couple of fun pull quotes from reviews of the show:

“Batterymouth’s new long-form improv show at Second City’s de Maat Theatre is definitely in the top percentile of the dozens—or is it hundreds—of improv shows going on around town.” -Chicago Theater Blog

“Chicago is a comedy Mecca, so it can be difficult to decipher what shows, out of the vast sea of options, are deserving of your precious time and money. Allow me to make it a little easier for you: go see Batterymouth.” -Gapers Block

“The idea of two people inventing and sustaining a solitary half-hour scene in real time-without abandoning characters or setting-is a grueling feat indeed. Notably, the men of Batterymouth pull it off… No one can deny the improvisational skills of these two actors.” -The DePaulia

As Abraham Lincoln once said, “Woohoo!”

So, our last show of the run is this Friday and our opening act will be our dear friends Long Pork.  They usually do sketch comedy and produce videos, but every now and then they do improv.  This is one of those special occasions.  Don’t miss the last performance of Batterymouth: It Burns.

It’s Wednesday.  Need some ridiculousness?  Check out Awkward Spaceship‘s Secret Lair Comics.

It’s a video I made with my friends Sean Cusick from Best Church of God and Zoran Gvojic from Low Carb Comedy and Long Pork (who also worked on the video The Weather).

Fun?  Yes.  Twisted?  You betcha.  Enjoy it!

It’s a video I made with my friends Darren Stephens from Best Church of God and Zoran Gvojic from Low Carb Comedy and Long Pork.

I had a lot of fun working with these guys and I think it shows in the video. Enjoy!

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.
