Night of The Living Dead Movie Roast

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…

CCC Movie Roasts Available for Download

Filed under: Announcements, Entertainment, Movie Roasting, News

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.

East Independence Rotary: Mission Accomplished

Filed under: Entertainment, Found Funny, Kansas City, Pets

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.

CounterClockwise Comedy’s April Movie Roast: Top Gun

Filed under: Announcements, Entertainment, Kansas City, Live Shows, Movie Roasting

Top Gun Movie Roast

Top Gun Movie Roast

CCC has a missile lock and is taking the shot on Top Gun coming in April. The quintessential 80’s action movie gets roasted by CounterClockwise Comedy in high style on April 10th and 11th. Silhouettes in the dark, shirtless oiled-up volleyball montages set to Kenny Loggins cheese-rock and all 5′7″ of Tom Cruise’s dripping machismo will have no where to hide. It’s going to be a good one.*

Please note that movie times have changed since we’ve added a third show, and tickets are now cheaper if you get them in advance; they go on sale two weeks before the show. (These are both measures to help us keep from turning people away like we did at Karate Kid.)

  • Movie Roast: Top Gun

    9:30PM – Friday, April 10th

    • 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!
