and Vinyl Destination is confirmed for Monday at 8.

So anybody seen any of these troups coming in from out of town? I think I only know Renob and Imp...both GREAT!!!

Post what you know about troupes on this list:

I've seen 88 Improv, from Omaha. When I saw them they did a longform narrative format of their own devising called The Hitchhiker. They were definitely enjoyable to watch.

I have to choose between Pgraph and GGG? :'(
That's the first time I've had to use that sad face in text to convey my inner turmoil. Heavy.

Cathcart & Olson [CHI] : Saw them at DSI. I remember laughing, but I also remember being overserved with liquor that night.

Shiner [LA]: They shared the slot with us last year under a different name: The Group. It was the travelling members of that group. After their show they were hanging out on 6th street drinking some beers and decided they liked that dynamic and they would make an offshoot group of just them. The beers they were drinking: Shiner. Hence the name. Only saw a touch of their show because we were warming up, but they were getting a bunch of laughs.

Razowsky & Clifford [LA] : I've seen some of their online stuff. Pretty funny. Dave Razowsky was the Artistic Director at Second City LA when I was there. Great teacher. Great guy. I didn't know who he was before my audtion for the conservatory and he looks a whole lot like Dustin Hoffman. I was so nervous to audition in front of (who I thought was) Dustin Hoffman. Memories.

You might be able to see both. Pgraph might be going first and GGG might be going second....though I don't know if theatre hopping is really possible given that the shows are usually sold out.

groups will be performing in the order listed. theatre hopping, while unavoidable, is discouraged because it's rude. all four of the groups in that time slot are solid as hell and you should have a good time in either block.

Revolving Madness from San Francisco

I hear great things about Revolving Madness. Imp is actually double billing with them in San Francisco for three nights. I look forward to that. And I highly recommend seeing Razowsky & Clifford.

and also added, peep the sunday headliners, Los Angeles Theatresports featuring Stephen Kearin of 3 for All and Dan O'Connor and Edi Patterson of various TV shows. But besides the Hollywood side of their resumes, they put down amazing prov. you will be impressed. oh, yes.

I won't be rude, Mr. Lambikins. But someone else is going to have to do the coin toss for me, I want no involvement on the decision making process. I'll make April do it.
