Hey team,

I’ve got a show tonight at 7pm - Bar-Prov at Young Ethel’s - it’s free, just buy drink of some kind :)

AND my fellow castmates at tabletopnotch are participating in a really funny charity event for 826NYC! They are an awesome local organization that gets kids (and adults) into creative writing and are particularly focused on under-represented schools. Everyone deserves to tell their own story, and the classes they teach empower kids, particularly young black and brown kids, to think and write creatively. We got involved because they teach a Dungeons and Dragons writers class - and we love when nerds get encouragement <3

The event is called Trivia Night for Cheaters and it’s on October 7th! We’re raising money so we can cheat at trivia (and the money goes to 826NYC). The more money we raise, the more “cheats” we have access to - we are all very competitive people so we need that money. I mean, blah blah blah it’s for charity and the great work 826NYC does but we want to WIN. Our team is The Owlbearable Weight of Massive Talent (niche) and we are almost at our 2nd stretch goal, so consider donating :-)

And finally, The Bisque is hitting the road! On Saturday November 1st, we’ll have an 8pm show at Kismet Improv in Pawtucket, RI. It’s not on the website yet, but mark your calendars if you are in the area.

That’s it for now! Keep your chin up everyone - be sturdy and full of hope,

Cuties!

I have a BUNCH of shows in September - so buckle up.

You know how much I love competitive improv and believe all art would be better if there was more competition? Just kidding, I don’t think that, but that said, The Bisque is indeed in an improv competition at Second City NYC!

This Tuesday Sept 9th at 7pm, we’ll be competing in The Bentwood Open - if we win, we move on to the semifinals! If you are in NYC, come to Brooklyn and get a ticket will ya? Use the code BENTWOODOPEN5 at checkout for $5 off - audience votes do count in part to get us to the next round. Oh yeah and there’s money if we win the whole thing, which we would donate to The Brigid Alliance!

Speaking of the Brigid Alliance (a perfect transition), we have our quarterly fundraising show at Caveat on Wednesday September 17th at 7pm - tickets go to The Brigid Alliance, an abortion access network. We’ve got great guests and early bird tickets are available through the 10th. As always, you can watch a high quality VOD if you can’t catch the show live or live elsewhere. You can watch a whole week later, so really, no excuses :) Tickets here, be a doll and buy themmmmmm.

Ok and I also have free shows the first two weeks of the month at Young Ethel’s at 7pm with The Bar-Prov Experiment. So you missed this week’s but you can come on the 11th this month!

Always feels dumb to promote shows during unprecedented times but I’ve been doing it for years and CANNOT STOP. That’s what you signed up for right?

Anyway, love you - here’s a picture of Bonnie on the beach in Nova Scotia last month. How lucky am I?

Hey team,

HUGE NEWS - I have shows which is fun but more importantly - we adopted a dog.

Her name is Bonnie and we adopted her from Muddy Paws Rescue, a great organization I’ve volunteered with for years. Bonnie is 3 years old and a perfect angel who loves snuggling and playing and snuggling. Puppy tax below:

Ok, I’m an obsessive dog mom. She’s all over my insta, if you want to see more. I’m in Bar-Prov at Young Ethels at 7pm on Thursday August 14th and then on August 21 at The Good Time at BCC at 7pm.

See ya next month - hugs from me and Steven and Bonnie!

Hey squad,

I’ve got a show tonight! At 7:30 at Young Ethel’s in Brooklyn - it’s free if you are in town, just buy a drink (alcoholic or non) and tip your bartender, obvi. It’s part of Bar-Prov, so there’s improv all night from some super cool teams, and we are around the first 2 Thursdays of the month.

Also, I’ve got a show with the Bisque next Thursday 7/17 at 7pm at BCC as a guest of The Good Time. We love them! Come out to that too :)

And finally, No Worries If Not did a sketch that came out right for the Tony’s last month - I have a small role, filmed it and edited it. Written by my buddy, Michelle O’Brien, it’s a compliment when I say it’s pretty dumb. Enjoy and see you next month :)
