Another Saturday Night (Thing to Do)

As mentioned here, the always-festive-shirted Scott Shaw! is commencing his Oddball Comics show this Saturday night at the Acme Comedy Theater at 10 PM. Here, once more, are the details.

Also that same Saturday night, the Totally Looped improv troupe, which ordinarily performs once a month on a weekday, is doing the first of four consecutive Saturday night performances at the Second City Comedy Theater at 8 PM. At this show, which I've plugged unmercifully in the past, several brilliant improvisational comedy performers dub in new dialogue to old films without ever having seen the films before. In my day, I've seen good improv and bad improv and even phony improv. This is the first of those three kinds and here are those details.

And I might point out that it is quite possible to do both shows in the same Saturday night. Totally Looped runs about an hour in a venue which is (I actually looked this up on Mapquest) 1.98 miles from where Scott will be performing his unnatural act. Mapquest figures travel time at five minutes so I'd guess you could make it in a half-hour. I always multiply estimated driving times from such services by six to figure how long it will take if you obey the speed limit, stop for red lights, have other cars on the road and don't run over too many people.
