Maude Lebowski: What do you do for recreation?
The Dude : Oh, the usual. I bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback.

CounterClockwise Comedy continues this month with their newest live performance 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!

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.

Improv troupes kill in Westport; The Taffetas is a sugar rush – The Pitch
