If you live anywhere near Los Angeles, you have a chance this Saturday night to see the best damned improv comedy troupe I've ever seen. Every so often — not often enough to suit me — they get together and put on an Instaplay, which is their name for an entire musical comedy created on the spot, based on a suggestion from someone in the audience — maybe even you! Yes, they have a live audience — unlike some one-performance musical comedies we could mention! They are also funny and brilliant.
It's Saturday night at the Fanatic Salon Theater in Culver City and tickets are only $11.50 plus a small service fee. The director is Bill Steinkellner. The cast is George McGrath, Deanna Oliver, Jonathan Stark, Phyllis Katz and Navaris Darson with Mari Falcone at the keyboard. The theater is small and intimate (and about as non-fancy as any place you'll ever see brilliant comedy) but tickets are still available for what will probably be a great Christmas story. Here's the link you want to click on. If my knee can handle it, I may see you there.
