I hate how exclusive you Jews are. Everyone at my country club agrees.

There's also Evans/Reese in NYC, one-half of Amnesia Wars who sit on stage behind microphones and do improvised radio-type scenes, tell anecdotes about their week, and occasionally give relationship advice even though they are eminently unqualified to do so. High comedy.

Three groups that need to happen:

Lamb of Orf - Jeremy and I discussed this at a party at Dinosaur Moonbase One. By "discussed" I mean that I told him firmly that we should do a show of this name and he looked frightened.

BeerProv - Wes Bain and me drinking my somewhat potent homebrew and waxing eloquently about the widest variety of topics possible. Occasionally we break out into a soft-shoe number, just to give the audience's collective psyche a chance to take a breather.

Straight Shooters - two straight men, Justin York and Bob McNichol, share the stage for a night of scenes that are so grounded in reality that they actually increase the local pull of gravity.

Do you know these guys, Orf?

Signifying Nothing just formed a few minutes ago. It consists of Valerie (Sound) and Wes (Fury). Valerie is all musical and Wes is entirely mute. They will debut in this weekend's 3fer.

I know them quite well. I performed with Amnesia Wars for a couple years. We exchange holiday cards and jovial insults. TRUE FACT: Jason Evans is a black man from Houston, TX, who attended Vassar College.

Three more

Jokyr & Jester - Utah's duo performs the Shalack (sp?), and tears you up

Bare - Chicago's fuzziest group

Men in Shirts - Detroit's duo has broken themselves and others.

Real Men Have Curves: Improv by fat guys, For fat guys, and About fat guys.

Could work as a two-man show. I also think it would work really well as part of a three-fer or double-bill, but maybe not so much as a stand-alone.

I'm in if you want me.

Short and Sweet: Michael Ferstenfeld (short) and Caitlin Sweet (sweet), before she left for New York. Sigh.

Polite Society: now pretty much just Mike and Andy

Gospelprov: Jesus and Judas, the ultimate jewish comedy duo!

I had been thinking of just mixing my pseudonym(LuBu) with other people's names to see what I come up with:

w/ Cody Dearing: Code Bu
w/ Chris Trew: Trew Bu
w/ C.J. Allen: LuAllen
w/ Rachel Mardosky: Bu Sky
w/ Sara Farr: A Lube too Farr.
w/ Asaf Ronen: AsBu
w/ Arthur Simone: Luthur
w/ Dave Buckman: BuckBu (also similar to BookBu w/ Tom Booker)
w/ Nick Ramirez: Lick
w/ Bob McNichol: BobBu
w/ Jeff Britt: LuBritt
w/ Kristin Firth: LiliBu
w/ Roy Janik: LuRoy
w/ Erika May: LuMay
w/ Kaci Beeler: Buuler?
w/ Shannon McCormick: McBu

obviously, these aren't groups, but it was still fun to type.
