Sex And The City is that hot smart funny girl you knew while she was a TV series that hasn’t aged well. Come help us put the ginger, the priss, the ho and horse in their right place-not on a silver screen-at the end of a punch line.

We roasted him while he danced dirty and we can certainly do it while he’s dead. (His character, ya sicko!) Awww… poor Demi and Patrick don’t stand a chance. Bring a pottery wheel and I’ll buy you a drink!

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!

I know the poster is ultra-classy, but honestly we’re roasting a movie about a whore falling in love with a guy who has enough cheddar to rent her out for the week, so who cares? And for the record, we know the “gerbilling” thing (disturbing text behind that link) isn’t true; doesn’t mean it’s not hilarious.
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 WEEK. 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.
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…

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.
Apparently, Alan Scherstuhl of The Pitch, stopped by the Jurrasic Park roast and squeezed in a review of the show amongst his regular Kansas-City’s sole-reviewer-of-improv duties. We were glad to have him, and it sounds like he had a blast. Now, if we can only get him to one of our actual improv shows.
I’ve reproduced the buried-in-another-story blurb here. Hit the link at the bottom of this post for the full monty.
Before the Trip Fives’ solo set, I left Westport for the Screenland Theatre, at 17th Street and Washington, to catch CounterClockwise Comedy’s live roast of Jurassic Park. Before a packed house, the movie screened: Dinosaurs romped, and Sam Neill gaped upward in empty Spielbergian wonder. In row one, the CounterClockwise Comedy crew picked cruelly at the film’s bones. They unleashed a wild stream of jokes, from dumb puns to feminist film criticism to suggestions we take a drink every time Spielberg worked Laura Dern’s ass into the shot. Wayne Knight’s plus-sized floral shirt got called “a Holiday Inn comforter”; the interminable first tour of the dinosaur park was compared, at hilarious length, with the animal-less expanses of the Kansas City Zoo.
Come to an island fantasy-land. A land where CCC can finally speak up for a group that has been denied a voice far too long- Velociraptors! Clever girl…

I’m more than a little excited to let you guys know that we will have these shirts for sale at the Top Gun Movie Roast this weekend. They’re printed on American Apparel Classic tees- made in America and screen printed by hand here in Kansas City. They’ll be available at the show for $20 each or 2 for $30 ($15 ea.) We’re cutting this option for the the first run because they ended up costing more than we thought. If they do well, e can order more and price them lower. It’s still a great quality shirt, though. definitely worth the money.

Is Claire really a fat girl's name? Does anyone do jumping jacks and cartwheels after they smoke pot? Has this movie aged gracefully? The answer to at least two of those questions is no. Find out which ones as we bust up this gang of teenage misfits in this 80's classic that's no where near as good as you remember.

Sometimes you can like something too much. So much that you want to kill it. We'll be killing it all night with this late 80's thriller. It will certainly be an affair to remember!
