Austin Improv

It is finally happening.

That Other Paper proudly presents
THE SICKEST F***ING STORIES I EVER HEARD
Five performers play poker onstage, betting real money, drinking real beer and telling real sick stories. As Time Out NY puts it: “Imagine if the Algonquin Round Table were to trade Dorothy Parker and Robert Benchley for Howard Stern and Al Goldstein.â€

Who's the 5th?

Matt Beardon is hooking me up with some potential stand-ups and Ratliff is hooking me up with possible musicians. I am looking to mix in as many different communities as possible with this show.

I will be pulling in more improvisers in coming performances (the next will be in August).

Matt Beardon = funny
Charlie Hodge = a wealth of sick stories that will be difficult to top
Owen Egerton = great guy
Ratliff = warm fuzzy

BRAVO ASAF!!!

Like I said when you mentioned this last time, this sounds fun and I want in. Maybe next time.

I know that many of you have interest in being in the show. And all you need to do is when you see me, pull me aside and tell me a sick story. That is the initiation. Don't email me with them and don't post them. I have enough reading right now.

Nice line-up.

Wait, REAL Money?

Count me in! I so want to do this now.

(but I'll be bringing my own wine coolers - don't like beer.)

No biggie of course, but just fyi, it's spelled Bearden.

Thanks, Jeff.

Boyko, are you saying that you have sick stories to tell?

I'm surprised you have to ask.

Call me and I'll explain, I really can't give you a background in the public forum.

That's, like, every conversation i've ever had with you...I'm mailing you one anyways.

entertaining aspects of this:

1. I don't know how to play poker

2. I am really bad liar

3. those of you have listened to my drunken ramblings have only gotten a taste of the poor life choices I have made.

thanks asaf.

We are currently trying to get Tim Murphy, the announcer for the Rollergirls, to be the final player. Should be awesome.
