LEBOWSKI LIVE Debuting March 26th!

Filed under: Announcements, Entertainment, Kansas City, Live Shows, News

I’m a Lebowski
You’re a Lebowski.

We’re both Lebowski fans!

CounterClockwise Comedy is about to go where no comedy troupe has gone before – and we’re stoked about it.  March 26th is the debut of Lebowski Live - a live interactive performance focused on the epic comedy The Big Lebowski. Dress up as your favorite character, challenge Jesus to a round of bowling,  drink plenty of White Russians and lay on our rug – it really does tie the room together.  This is Lebowski like you’ve never seen it before!

BEST MOVIE CRITICS LIVE – PITCH WEEKLY

Filed under: Announcements, Entertainment, Kansas City, Live Shows, News, Photos, Uncategorized

We don’t know much about politics.  We  especially don’t know how one gets nominated for a slot in the much anticipated “Best Of” publication that the Kansas City Pitch Weekly newspaper prints.  But, we sure are excited to be amongst the finest of the finest in entertainment and culture.  Check out The Pitch this week.  Or, just click HERE to read what theatre critic Alan Sherstuhl had to say

“Catty and cutting masters of well-observed one- liners and in-the-dark timing”

Thanks, Kansas City.  You guys are the best friends a comedy troupe could ever have.

Even after we roasted Kristin Davis from Sex and The City, she’s still excited for us!  Thanks, Kristin!

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.

Laughing ‘Can Help You Lose Weight’

Filed under: Announcements, Entertainment, News

Laughter is healthy.

Laughter is healthy.

Screw the gym, come see CounterClockwise Comedy perform. You’ll literally laugh your ass off. :-)

From The Telegraph:

Laughing intensely for an hour can burn as many calories as lifting weight for 30 minutes, scientists have found.

Laughter gives the body a “mini aerobic workout”, they believe.

It causes the heart to beat faster, sending larger amounts of blood around the body.

Laughing out loud also makes the chest rise and fall, which in turn means that stomach muscles have to work harder, which can help to tighten them.

The act of laughing can even help the skin, by using up to 15 facial muscles, helping to give the face a work out.

Laughing can also bolster the immune system, aiding the body to fight off infections like coughs and colds.
