Local sketch comedy sensations Lovey and Lovey will be hosting and performing at ColdTowne Theater's monthly open mic sketch show, TKO. They are currently developing new material, gearing up for their spring appearances at Frontera Fest, see. hear. speak. four. and SxSw. In addition to hosting the evening, Lovey and Lovey will be performing a set of scripted and improvised comedy and drinking very, very heavily.
Lovey and Lovey is ColdTowne's Michael Jastroch and Tami Nelson's sketch comedy project. They have won "Best in Fest" for the 2005 Lone Star Sketch Festival and the 2008 Frontera Festival as well as a "Best of Austin '08" Critic's Choice nod from the Austin Chronicle.
TKO is ColdTowne Theater's open mic sketch night. Every month, members of the Ausitn comedy community use the ColdTowne Theater stage to experiment and test new material. Our talent bookers have taken the night off: anyone can just walk in off the street and sign up, and have three whole minutes on the ColdTowne stage to do whatever you want. The atmosphere has been described as "a sometimes chaotic and always hilarious evening of raw entertainment" by us.
"Lovey and Lovey trade in world-weary quips that follow in the grand tradition of The Thin Man's wet-whistled wits Nick and Nora. Over sweaty glasses of Dewars and a rapidly filling ashtray, Lovey and Lovey snarkily recount their shared worldly adventures in a modern take on the screwball comedy, trading the kind of stinging barbs and thinly veiled hostilities that are the hallmark of any successful marriage. Love, after all, is a many-splendored pain in the ass. " -- Sean O'Neal, the Onion
"When ColdTowne Theater's Tami Nelson and Michael Jastroch get to channeling the likes of Nick and Nora Charles in their tipple-happy sketch comedy Lovey and Lovey, even teetotalers in the audience get a little drunk on the brash badinage and gin-soaked barbs the hilarious couple unleashes. Hell, if they could just get Arthur Simone's Buddy to dress up as a wirehaired fox terrier, they'd be even better than the originals." --Best of Austin Critic's Choice Award
