What's happening at Steel City Improv Theater AND BEYOND

IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN!

FRIDAY!

The powerhouse improv block that knocks your socks off, puts them on the radiator, then gently puts them back on you*. Blue Stocking Babes at 8, Irony City at 9:30, The Nilesh Show at 11pm! All for only $5 each! Less than a movie, and so much better! Your date will be all like “this is so awesome and interesting, you really put some thought into this”, and then you’ll be all like “Because I really like you”, and then your date will be like “Let’s go sit in the car, because we have 15 minutes before the next show. But nothing too involved, because I don’t want to miss it. We already bought tickets”. Magical. 

AT 8 PM: Blue Stocking Babes!

If Gertude Stein had stayed in America and had a long form improv show, it would be this. 

AT 9:30 : IRONY CITY!

Professionals? Irony City taught the professionals, that’s how professional these guys are. 

At 11 PM: THE NILESH SHOW

One man. Forever alone. Help him by seeing his show and working it all out. 

ALL OF THESE SHOWS, ONLY $5 EACH!

CASH AT THE BOX OFFICE!

You need to read Bossypants.

From Tina Fey’s Bossypants: 

Amy was in the middle of some such nonsense with Seth Meyers across the table, and she did something vulgar as a joke. I can’t remember what it was exactly, except it was dirty and loud and ‘unladylike.’

Jimmy Fallon, who was arguably the star of the show at the time, turned to her and in a faux-squeamish voice said, ‘Stop that! It’s not cute! I don’t like it.’ Amy dropped what she was doing, went black in the eyes for a second, and wheeled around on him. ‘I don’t fucking care if you like it.’ Jimmy was visibly startled. Amy went right back to enjoying her ridiculous bit. I should make it clear that Jimmy and Amy are very good friends and there was never any real beef between them. (Insert penis joke here.)

With that exchange, a comic shift took place. Amy made it clear that she wasn’t there to be cute. She wasn’t there to play wives and girlfriends in the boys’ scenes. She was there to do what she wanted to do and she did not fucking care if you like it.

Theater Of The Heart

“Tell them we succeeded where others have failed. We created Theater of the Heart, a theater where people cherish each other to succeed onstage”

- Del Close
