The Leading Brands Re-Union Show 5/17 @The Monday Night Mash

Post by James Snacker »

That's right, for one night and one night only, the locally-famous, municipally-renowned, greatest improv troupe to ever come out of Andy Crouch's October 2005 301 class at the Hideout -- It's
*THE* *LEADING* *BRANDS*

Monday, May 17th, 8:30pm @ the Monday Night Mash at ColdTowne Theater, $0 admission

Featuring (with specialties):
Gene "Snake-Eye" Joe, Demolitions
Eric "The Face" Heiberg, Knives
Frank "Wildcard" Wilmore, Stunt Driving
Sara "The Body" Farr, Martial Arts
James "Death Ray" Roberts, Customer Service
Michael "Miggy" McGill, Child Smuggling
Amy "Just Amy" McKenna, Event Planning

This is a once in a 3-year-long lifetime chance to see all 9 of the original cast (minus the two who moved away), in person, performing together for the first time since 2007. This will probably not happen again until the next time we run out of money!!!

Here's what people have said in the past about the Leading Brands:
"I knew instantly that this troupe had balls. " -- Phil Aulie
"I expect great things." -- Arthur Simone
"They provide the best food and drinks while hosting!" -- Nadine
"The Leading Brands are clearly the result of proper but firm parents" -- Mo Daviau
"I want to second what Nadine said. " -- John Ratliff
"I love The Leading Brands" -- Shana Merlin

Don't miss it!

Yes!!! This makes me really happy!

The Leading Brands setting up an open bar for the Friday Night Threefer/Double Barrel/CageMatch a tthe Hideout back in '06 ranks as one of the worst ideas/best nights in Austin Improv history.

It resulted in what was (up until that point) the bluest Girls Girls Girls show I'd ever seen.
