Improv Double Feature: Irony City & Pretty Please; August 25, 2012 at the CLO Cabaret Theater
There's nothing like a lazy summer day, driving with your best girl to the movieplex to see two shows for the price of one! Improv Double Feature delivers that experience without the hassles of big budgets and over-analyzed scripts. Each month, we get two of Pittsburgh's best improv comedy groups to fabricate scenes based on your suggestions. This is a one of a kind experience -- these scenes have never been conceived of before and will never be performed again. Join us this month!
Performing Saturday, Aug
ust 25th:
Irony City has been performing together for 5 years. As such, they like to mess with each other. Enjoy as they weave tales of odd characters and quirky situations.
Pretty Please began at IO West in 2007. It is composed of alumni from Noble Fool, ImprovOlympic, Second City and Boom Chicago performing long form improv the old fashioned way, just like grandma used to.
$5 cash at the door.

Intolerant Chicken by Krish Mohan
After the recent comments by Chic-fil-a against Gay marriage and
financially backing several anti-Gay groups, there was a “Kiss-in” by
those for Gay marriage. This is a great idea! Spokespeople for
Chic-fil-a and Catholic lunatics have said “this will envoke the wrath
of God”, to which I say, isn’t God a little pervy to want to watch
people kissing? Persecution is something I know very well, and so does
my girlfriend. She is Jewish and I’m Brown, so according to the
Catholics we’re both going to hell. There’s a level of transitions to
persecution and it always involves the White man and the Catholics.
My people were persecuted because of the events of 9/11. The phrase “never forget” is always uttered around then. Trust me, I won’t. I won’t forget when India was repeatedly confused for every country in the Middle East! It must be nice for racists to turn off the idea of borders, mountains, countries that separate India to Afghanistan & Iran. In that case, all rednecks are from Boston, since Alabama is resides closer to Massachusetts than India does to Iran; Also Red Sox & Red Necks seems like they are interchangeable.
Before my people it was Black people and even before that it was the Pilgrims in England. People in England didn’t like them, which why when they left everyone breathed a sigh of relief and said, “They’re gone, but let’s tax their tea!” This caused the Boston Harbor to smell like Darjeeling’s best and few other things (#consulthistorybooks). So let’s go through this Persecution history; Pilgrims hated by the English, Native Americans hated by Pilgrims, White Americans hate the Blacks, White Americans hate the Browns, and now Catholics hate the Gays. So in the hate train, Brown was the new Black, and now the Rainbow is the new Brown! And all this caused by a company that sells sub-par chicken sandwiches and flat, stale “fries”?
Fast food is destroying enough lives with high cholesterol and just being plain awful, does it really need to start destroying people’s lives because of its “moral” standings? I suppose grease is similar to intolerance and persecution, it’s always going to be stuck in the veins of every country it appears in. For a while it’ll be spread out and dispersed and then every so often it’ll just get clogged into one area and start causing issues and health conditions. People start saying “Wow, he’s going to die pretty soon if he continues this way.” The doctors start to say “Hey we need to get rid some of this from you system. Let’s do it surgically.” And that’s only way to get rid of greasy, dirty, health causing intolerance & racism, remove it surgically.
If Chic-fil-a wants to make a bold political statement about how Christian they are, they’ll do what every other Christian organization does; leave this country and go try to preach to some deserted island in the middle of the Pacific. I say from now on, the only Chic-fil-a location should be on a remote a island somewhere, a magical place where all the Bigots and most of the Catholics can join hands and go, “Isn’t this nice, this island is as crappy and white as the meat served by Corporate Christian Overlords, Chic-Fil-a.” Then the Gays can get married in every state, and I will get them a toaster and a gift card to Panera Bread!
*This post was inspired by not only the Gays I know and don’t know & the intolerance I’ve faced in the past, but also my Girlfriend who posted the below, which I firmly stand behind*
“Is it still appropriate that the statue of liberty be called the mother of exiles? This country was founded on people who wanted to escape to freedom from persecution. Why now are the citizens of this country turning into persecutors? If an establishment bars gays from its doors then who’s next…Jews, blacks, Hispanics, or Irish?
‘Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!’” ~Carrie Brunner

Mike Buzzelli's book, Below Average Genius, is now available!
Below Average Genius is
a collection of narrative essays culled from author Mike Buzzelli’s
weekly humor column at the Washington Observer-Reporter newspaper. Each
essay is a brisk, humorous tale about ordinary, daily situations blown
up ridiculously big.
“It’s
a Blurry, Blurry World” chronicles Mike’s inability to snap a decent
photograph at Disneyland. “Come On, Come on to My House” explores the
dynamic of watching a movie or television show in someone else’s home.
Following is an excerpt from the titular essay, Below Average Genius:
I’m not smart enough to hang with the intellectuals, but stupid people annoy me mightily. I’d be a genius on Wheel of Fortune but a dummy on Jeopardy.
Take this example from a Final Jeopardy question: “This cheese was
created in 1892 by Emil Frey and named for a singing society whose
members loved the cheese.” None of the contestants answered correctly,
“What is Liederkranz?” That’s a pretty tough question. I don’t think
I’ve ever spread a Liederkranz on a cracker. I can only name a few
cheeses anyway and as far as I know Cheddar, Havarti, Swiss and Goat
were never singing groups. Cheese maker Frey is also credited with
creating Velveeta. Apparently, he was a real cheese whiz.
Mike
Buzzelli is a standup comedian and published author. As a comedian, he
has performed all around the country, most notably, the Ice House, the
Comedy Store and the Improv in Los Angeles. As a writer, Mr.
Buzzelli has published in a variety of websites, magazines and
newspapers.
BUY IT NOW!!!
Mr. Buzzelli is available for interviews. A copy of the book will be furnished upon request. buzzworks@prodigy.net
