Smell that in the air? It’s fall. Fall and three upcoming Batterymouth shows.
This October we’re going to be performing on three consecutive Sundays (the 11th, the 18th and the 25th) at 9:30pm as part of Extended Play at The Playground. Extended Play is based on the idea of having a year long improv festival where teams can be seen doing festival-length shows over three weeks right here in Chicago.
It’s a cool concept and we’re happy to be a part of it. So, October 11th, 18th and 25th, come on out to The Playground and watch us have fun doing some long form improv for you.
It’s a good time to be a Batterymouth fan, because we’ve got two really fun shows coming up. On Saturday, June 27 we’re going to be in the great state of Minnesota for the Twin Cities Improv Festival. We’re going to be performing at 7:00pm along with local group Five Man Job. So, if you live out in that area or you feel like taking a trip to Minneapolis, get your tickets and we’ll see you out there. This is our first festival performance and we’ve heard that TCIF is a lot of fun, so we’re really looking forward to it.
For all of you Chicagoans out there, we also have a show coming up on Tuesday, June 30 at The Playground. The show kicks off at 8:00pm and we’re going to be performing with The Hamiltons, Stranger for a Day and The Rabble. That’s right, four improv teams in total! Try to wrap your head around that. So, if you can’t make it out to TCIF, be sure to catch us here at home.
Batterymouth is back on stage, y’all! Tonight we’ll be doing some long form improv at The Playground in Chicago and it should be a grand old time. Did I mention it’s at midnight? I didn’t mention that it’s at midnight? Okay, it’s at midnight.
I don’t know why, I kind of just like writing the word “midnight”…
We’re opening for two teams - Double Stuff (Joseph Holt, Patrick Rowland and Brandon Taylor) and 55 Days at Sea (Joseph Romaine, Vincent Portacci, Derek Shoemaker and John Edward “Ted” Tremper). Tickets are only $7 and The Playground is BYOB, so it’s a great way to have a cheap Friday night out that contains a metaphorical bucket full of laughs.
We hope we’ll see you there. We miss you.
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.
