Packed House at Thirsty Ear Show June 9th

Hothouse flowers last night as Parlor Tricks blazed through an amazingly funny and physical sketch and Shimmy Shake dazzled with the pregnant and hilariously on-fire Sophia. By the time the Bacon Brothers were up to bat, Scott was sweating like a big bald summer-snowman, but onstage we went, tearing through a set of old favorites and new games that are still in their baby steps. Calig guided us through a Film Strip about budding sexuality, so you can guess where that went. And Scott had to be reassured that his Tattoo Parlor guy did not cross the line (he's still wondering about that one). Jason and John Mimed it up to the on-going delight of the game's fans (they are legion). And FFN's Woosley walked away with a pile of big winnings in Da Do Ron Ron. Thanks to everyone coming out and making the evening hotter than a big red dog!

Next show is Outdoors at Comfest -- Live Arts Stage 5:00 - 5:30 on Friday, June 26th (A Fake Bacon member's ex-girlfriend's birthday) Come be part of it, and remember to support L.O.L.A. (Leave Our Land Alone)

Night of Beer at The Summit June 4th


Members of FFN tumbleweeded on into The Summit in the middle of their kick-ass In Reverse run. Some of those who performed brought their beers up on stage and pretended to incorporate them into to scene. With bits and pieces from Shimmy Shake, Parlor Trick, FFN and ourselves, the night turned into a bowl of comedic Chex mix, with the audience throwing proverbial peanuts in the form of get fors. Went into the wee hours and every imaginable improv game was performed--Shift Left was even performed twice! Dr. Suess cracked open his cobwebby book again after a whole year or so and he made pizza to go. Jon got highly insulted and left early, but Good King Spangler joined the Jackhole, and Josh was torn away long enough from his pitcher to appear on the Shimmy's Dating Game (he still managed to bring a beer up with him, as did Scott). Really liking this blend of groups, and LOVIN' the new venue, so come check us out here on First Thursday nights.
