Two years ago a terror was released upon the improv world... that ball of improv energy is Chet Watkins. Haven't seen us!? Make Reservations.
Chet Watkins is one of the Magnet Theater's house improv teams. Put together by the acclaimed director Armando Diaz, these six New York City performers place a high value on character commitment and exploration of the absurd.
As the anchor of the Magnet's Friday night line up, Chet Watkins performs an hour of suggestion-based improv each week and they're going all out for their second anniversary! Chet Watkins is Chris Camp (To Be Continued/Gimmie the Loot), Christian Paluck (It's Just Me/The Armando Diaz Experience), Jana Schmeiding (Les Encompetent), Laura Grey (Klepper & Grey/Baby Wants Candy), Lizzie Redner (Room Full of Bulldogs), and Kelly Kreye (Gonzo: A Night of Improvised Comedy with Hunter S. Thompson/Hell Buffalo). Chet Watkins was an official selection at the 2009 Boston Improv Festival, the 2010 Providence Improv Festival, and the 2010 Toronto Improv Festival, and has a Improvisation News Nomination for Best Longform Improv Group.
Chet Watkins' Second Anniversary Show will take place at the Magnet Theater (254 W. 29th Street) at 8 p.m. on March 4. Tickets are $7.
