If anyone with a good video camera is free tonight, I'd really appreciate you coming to film our French Farce show. The tape from last week shows just how inadequete setting up a camera and leaving it to do its business is.

This is super-late notice. If you can come in the next few weeks, that'd be good, too.

In case you haven't heard, we've decided to extend our French Farce run for 2 more weeks. So you've got the first two weeks in January before it goes away.

Last week's show sold out. This week? Who knows. It's our last Farce show (save for Frontera Fest), so get it while the gettin's good, or something.

Thanks to all who came out. It always makes me happy to make improvisers laugh.


To anyone who missed it, French Farce has one last performance--Jan. 29th at FronteraFest. It'll be a shorter show, but that means we'll just have to cram in double the innuendo.

Thanks for all the support!

I am a big fan of farce in the French style, British high comedies, and comedies of manners. I think they have a somewhat untapped place in improvisational theatre, very naturally.

Hooray for the many possibilities of improv!

A+ Run!
I saw two of them and I thoroughly enjoyed the hell out of them.
You guys should do a national tour of the festivals with that show.
If you disrespect your character, or play it just for laughs, it will sell some gags, but it's all technique.
