NYE Show w/ Rich Talarico
Posted: December 9th, 2009, 12:22 pm
ColdTowne Theater and the United States Art Authority will be hosting an early evening of comedy entertainment, featuring Saturday Night Live’s Rich Talarico, ColdTowne Theater’s smash mega hit awesome hit revue Eye for an iPhone and Frontera Fest favorite Le Sexy. The show starts at 7pm on New Year’s Eve at the USAA (2908 Fruth St.), leaving plenty of time for drinking before and after. Consider this an reasonably priced amuse-bouche for the rest of your evening.
Rich Talarico is a veteran of Chicago's Second City Theater and Improv Olympic. His show, Dasariski (with Bob Dassie and Craig Cackowski) is the only two time headliner at the Out of Bounds Improv Festival. Rich currently lives in Los Angeles where he was a staff writer (and sometimes bit and background player) on FOX's MAD TV for Seasons 7, 8 and 9. Recently, Rich wrote for Saturday Night Live.
Eye for an iPhone features a cast of writers/performers made up of some of Austin’s most talented young comedians. The revue is helmed by veteran performer and former Second City director Dave Buckman (the Frank Mills, ColdTowne Conservatory Teaching Staff) and has been playing to sold out audiences since its debut in October.
Le Sexy’s performances have been banned for “severe sexiness” in seven states. Nevertheless, Nadege and Olivier’s French comey-lounge act soldiers on. An evening of cocktails, music, and repartee awaits you in a European-inspired cabaret that will titillate the senses.
The ColdTowne Theater is Austin's main stage for alternative comedy, with improv, sketch and stand up shows Thursday through Monday, featuring the smartest, brightest, and hardest-working comedians in Central Texas. ColdTowne’s resident comedians are three time winners of the Austin Chronicle’s “Best of Austin” Readers Poll for “Best Comedy Group” and have appeared all over country at festivals, on college campuses and at house parties.
Tickets are $15 and can be purchased online through coldtownetheater.com. The USAA is located at 2908 Fruth right behind Spider House and can be found online at spiderhousecafe.com. Group Rates are available by contacting coldtowne@coldtownetheater.com.
