New Sketch/Improv Venue Needs Help With Name

[Aahaber]

Rob, I am super impressed. If you ever see my stand up act (yup an improviser who's also been on TV doing Stand Up...I'm super talented.) you'll see why.

Ted Flicker Theater is on the list.

I prefer Severin Dardin though who was one of the founding members of The Second City (and living newspaper I believe) and used to go out at nights in Chicago and jump from rooftop to rooftop in a superhero outfit (he couldn't go out during the day because of a rare skin condition. Am I a source of ridiculous improv info or what?)

I also heard a story about him freaking out Del Close at a Chicago restaurant by faking a heart attack. Working with Del I didn't think it was possible to freak him out so that always impressed me about Dardin.

The Boom Boom Room - If you get the reference, then you know why it would be such a great name


Free Shit Alley - This name dupes people into coming to your shows with the intent of receiving free shit! But alas...all they receive is funny..

The Improvement - An Improv Moment - Idk, sounds kind of cool.

LMAO Theatre - For internet nerds and people who just like to laugh!

ROFL Theatre - ditto ^

ROFLCOPTER Theatre - you can see where i'm going with this..

The LOL Theatre - its kind of catchy no?

Free Abortion Clinic - Again, people come with a certain intention and they just leave laughing. Maybe they can even laugh so hard that they'll...

I'm adding The Improvement to the list. Nice one.

 

[Dave Serchuk]

The Living Space

 

[Aahaber]

Sort of like The Living Newspaper. I like it. Added!

 

[xxKewlGuyxx]

I'm glad you liked the Improvement but why no Free Abortion Clinic? I thought that one was pure gold...

 

[benorbeen]

I think a Severn Darden Theater would be awesome!

 

[Aahaber]

Another vote for Severn Dardin

 

[Aahaber]

well I like "Abortion Clinic" but "Free Abortion Clinic" just makes it sounds cheap.

 

[Shannon Manning]

Aaron,
If yer gonna name it after Severn, be sure to spell it right. It's DarDEN! Like the parent company of the Olive GarDEN.

Actually you should call it the Olive Darden. Get some hungry tourists.

Or The Carlin. Sounds fancy!

Am I crazy to think it would be weird to name a theater after someone without discussing it with their family?

 

[Aahaber]

Shannon,

I'm not a big fan of spelling. If you want to subscribe to "The Man's" alphabet, so be it. Me? I'm sticking it to the man(ning?) by spelling as many words and names incorrectly as possible. Besides this is the internet where spelling doesn't count.

Six- you're not crazy, if we did in fact decide to name a place after a person we would either discuss it with that person (if alive) or their family or estate (if the opposite of alive.)

Carlin liked words.

The Atre - Get it? I just split theatre in half! i actually kind of like that one.

 

[Aahaber]

Dude,

The Arte is brilliant. It's on the list...1 out of 3 aint bad, right?

 

[benorbeen]

Actually you should call it the Olive Darden.

That is brilliant! I love it. I would love it for ages.

 

[benorbeen]

Dude,

The Arte is brilliant. It's on the list...1 out of 3 aint bad, right?

Wait, which is brilliant? The Atre or The Arte?

I think I liked the misspelling a little better, myself ...
