Hey, I'm going to be in Gotham City Improv's take on the classic game show Match Game. The Improvisors will be playing the roles of celebrities they wish existed or members of the crew and the contestants will be played by you, or at least two of you, and if you play, you will win prizes. Who can turn down free stuff. The characters and costumes are pre-made but the improv is on the spot.

I don't normally advertise my shows here anymore, but I thought that some of you might want to see something different

Hosted by Cuban Joe (Gabe Dorado) fresh from a run of one man shows at the Nuyorican Poets cafe (not a joke)

Conceived and directed by Curt Dixon, a Groundlings Alum and guy old enough to have the seen Match Game the first time around.

Come to the show to learn the truth. To learn the truth and get a chance to win a Carl Sagan bookmark. Carl Sagan was actually in touch with aliens but he refused to acknowledge them when he learned that they were more interested in saving our souls than in saving our environment. The missionary warships will arrive here on December 21,2012.

I'm curious why you thought "Character based improv in the Groundlings Tradition" was a better headline than "if you play, you will win prizes."

The clever answer is that while only two members of the audience will get to win prizes everyone who comes in will be able to enjoy Character based improv in the Groundlings Tradition.

Another answer is that maybe I'm idiosyncratic, but I would see a stranger's improv show if it involved a form or style I was unfamiliar with, but I get so much random junk that the prospect of more does not appeal to me. I just had a crazy lady with poor hygeine give me a bag of hotdog buns.
