Alright, there’s been a big problem lately in the Kansas Improv scene and it has to do with too narrow a focus on the whole “performing improv” aspect of what we do. I think broadening our horizons a bit is the best way to combat this and by broadening our horizons I mean going to the target Portrait Studio (no affiliation) and getting portraits made of ourselves in sporting gear. Our athletic prowess in these photos is obvious. Enjoy…

Braaaaaaaaaiiiiiiins… This month, the weekend before Halloween, we’re taking it back to the old school (’cause we’re so cool) with the zombie flick that wrote the modern day walking-dead canon. CounterClockwsie Comedy is roasting Night of The Living Dead.
We’ll also be hosting a costume contest before the show! So get all scary-fied, come out and laugh your face off…
Skip getting mugged at haunted houses in the west bottoms and come have a laugh and a drink with us as we shred the zombie film that started it all. Who says a politically subversive gore-fest can’t be laugh-out-loud hilarious?

Come out and see CounterClockwsie Comedy on Saturday, September 26th at a special event. We’ll be filming this show and tickets are half price. It’s only $5. If you’ve been waiting to see one of our hilarious live shows, this is the one!
We’ll be performing our Red Carpet Improv live comedy show at Screenland Theater Crossroads. It’s totally improvised and 100% made to order just for you. There’ll never be another one like some come out and laugh with us… The full-service bar opens at 8pm and the show starts at 9pm. See you there!
90 minutes full of piping hot improvisational comedy, made to order. (Think Who’s Line Is It Anyway? but dirtier, with less Drew Carey and you can buy booze.) Each show is one of kind and created entirely on the spot based on audience suggestions.

An August movie roast? Sounds like we’ll be all wet… on a stage… with a chair… dancing like we’ve never danced before. Come join us as we destroy yet another pop culture icon. There’s an 80’s dance party before the show. Come in 80’s or workout gear (leg warmers, spandex, neon bike shorts, etc…) and get drink discounts at the bar. We certainly will.
She’s dancing like she’s never danced before! …or will again. Come watch as this maniacal strip-teasing mistress gets rode hard and put up wet by the CounterClockwise Comedy team.

Hey gang. We’ve gone and acquired a Riff Trax account, so we can upload our commentary and you guys can download it online. So far, we have our Jurassic Park and Top Gun movie roasts uploaded.
Check out the Top Gun Preview above with Erik, Bess and I doing a little roasting. If you want to download the audio track off the CounterClockwise Comedy account at RiffTrax.com, it’s $1.99. Then you just play it alongside your copy of the movie, a la Pink Floyd and The Wizard of OZ (but with less psychedelics and more laughter). There are detailed instructions in the track itself of where to sync it up with the movie. Let us know how you like it and check out the preview above.
Beat the heat with CCC as we lampoon that childhood standby, E.T. The Extra Terrestrial. Cold beers and cocktails will be served all night along with hearty belly laughs. Stay tuned for a preview…
Help CounterClockwise Comedy send the creepy/cute little monster back where he came from. Follow the trail of Reese’s Pieces to one hilariously good time as we slowly destroy your precious family-movie memories.

We just got done with a very short private gig at the East Independence Rotary Club. Awesome crowd, early show. We went on at about 7:40am in a conference room at the Hilton Garden Inn in Independence. We only had until 8:ooam to play, but it was a lot of fun.We managed to squeeze in 3 games; we had 5 ready because I wasn’t sure how much time we’d have. Hopefully we get a private gig or two out of it. That was a fun crowd to play for. Everyone was really complimentary and we handed out a few business cards.
Rotary clubs are local service organizations that span the world. The Independence club website is here: East Independence Rotary Club. It’s pretty sparse right now, but they’re in the middle of a remodel. Keep an eye on their website in the future if you’re looking for a way to help out the comunity in Independence!
What are you doing on Friday and/or Saturday night this weekend? Does it involve laughing your socks off? Well it does now…
Don’t miss us performing our second round of Red Carpet Improv at The Screenland Theater Crossroads. It’s in the very same space as our movie roasts, but it’s 90 minutes of live comedy with a short intermission. If you’ve never seen an improv show before, it’s all made up on the spot and based on audience suggestions. There’s no script, it’s not staged and what results is a totally unique show made for the audience that’s as spontaneously funny as comedy gets.

What if Cinderella was a whore? Wouldn't that be sweet? Well it really was sweet in 1990! The ho was Julia Roberts and she met this piggie-eyed guy who had enough money to rent her out for the WHOLE NIGHT. You'll have to see what happens after that. Why not see it with us as we tear this paper-thin plot premise to shreds! You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wish Julia Roberts wasn't so flat-chested.

Now look: a debatable lazy-eye and a speech impediment is no way to judge whether or not someone can kill you in a fight and Stallone proves it in this 80's action masterpiece. Witness the birth of a legend all over again as we do anything but contain the mess that is John Rambo's life. He was just another drifter who broke the law! Sentenced to 93 minutes of hard roasting, son, them's the brakes...

In horror movies, real vampires don't sparkle, and whiney-vapid girls are meant for snacking not loving. So "Hold on tight, spidermonkey!" (Actual movie dialogue.) It's an evening of fresh-roasted puppy-love schmaltz that is going to take this teen/just-pre-menopausal melodrama sensation to all new heights!
