For Southern Californians

I have in the past (like here and here) raved about The Black Version, a fine improv troupe that performs every month or three in Los Angeles. They're performing tonight at Largo at the Coronet over in West Hollywood with special guest performer Maya Rudolph.

I've seen them several times and they've always been terrific as they ad-lib an entire black exploitation musical, "remaking" some famous movie starring mainly white peoople. Sometimes, they're a little naughty and loud…but always funny. Don't bother going to the website and trying to buy tickets because they're sold out and have been for some time.

However! For reasons that would bore you, I wound up with two extra tickets for tonight and they're up for grabs. First person who asks can have them for the face value of $30.00 each and I will only sell them as a set. Oh — and there's a catch. The show starts at 8:30 but they start doing seat assignments at 6 PM. So you have to meet me in front of the theater at 5:50 PM. You can get your tickets and seat assignments, then go somewhere for dinner or shopping or whatever until just before showtime. If you want to do this, drop me a line and include your phone number.
