Austin Improv

Kaci is off to Florida with the cupholders next week, and Kareem's out of town the last weekend of July for a wedding, and then PGraph's off to Edinburgh for all of August.

What this means is, believe it or not, this Friday is your last chance until Out of Bounds to see all 4 members of PGraph doing their thing together. Come see us tell a story and be generally ridiculous before our brains melt in Scotland!

And as a special treat, we're bringing you GRIMM!
(last seen in 2009!)



In GRIMM we bring new tales in the style of the Brothers GRIMM to life.

Everyone knows that Disney took some liberties with the stories collected by the Brothers Grimm when they made Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and such into movies. But the truth is still startling. Not only are the original Grimm's fairy tales dark and disturbing, but they're also crazy, surprising, and at times completely baffling. Hundreds of years of passing on stories from generation to generation by voice and memory alone has shaped and warped these tales into bizarre gems... with everything from talking animals, severed heads, anthropomorphic sewing needles, random visits from the Virgin Mary, and yes, fairies thrown in... sometimes all into the same story.

Remember, these are the tales that peasants told each other in the night, when the lights had all gone out and Darkness wrapped them in her velvet shroud.

These stories are not neat. They are not clean. They are not safe.

I particularly love the part where Roy and Val said in unison:

Val: "There are no such things as Snow Witches"
Roy: "There is no such things as Jesus"

Royal-improv moment!!

ps. Thanks for "YES, AND-ing" my music offers tonight.

Geez guys, guess that means I won't see any of you until OOB. Safe travels & enjoy Edinburgh - you'll probably go broke, but it's worth it. LEARN TO LOVE THE MEAT PIE!
