Thinning the Herd

[Tyler B.]

With just 12 days left until our premiere, now is a great time for me to try to get the word out about this show.

THINNING THE HERD is a weight-loss themed improv comedy show called that pits three teams of comedians against each other in a weight loss contest to see which team can win the coveted “Golden Refrigerator”. Each week, the teams will compete against each other both on the scale and in the improv arena. The show will also feature filmed vignettes where the improvisers take to the streets in what we are calling “Video Challenge” segments. Each week, the teams will use comedy to explore the theme of the weight loss and chronicle the difficulties they face trying to navigate the long, complicated road to healthy living. Each week, the comedians will check in with the hopes of finally reducing their weight.

THINNING THE HERD features some of Austin improv’s favorite, seasoned veterans as well as some rising stars. Plus-sized personalities like Zarzamora’s Chuy Zarate, Out of Bounds Producer Jeremy Sweetlamb, the owner of the Institution Theater Tom Booker, Confidence Men’s Jeff Britt, and Austin Stand-up comedy favorite Jesse Pangelinan. The full cast represents a wonderful cross-section of Austin’s diverse comedic talents. Directed by Tyler Bryce, a 22-year improv veteran who recently moved back to Austin after serving his time studying and performing in New York and Oklahoma. You can see the show every other Sunday, beginning September 16 and running through Dec. 2 at The Institution Theater.
