GIANT (Nate Williams & Rich Hollman)
The set from our last show with The Scene is up! Our suggestion was “danger zone.” What appropriate timing since the following day we watched Top Gun on the flight deck of the Intrepid!
Stay tuned for upcoming show updates!
The ladies of Taco Supreme were so warm and generous, as well. And how could we forget the audiences that showed up? Thank you to everyone who made our last show of the run so incredibly awesome! Set to follow soon.
Hoorah! Our set from 05/19 is up. The audience suggestion was “ATM.”
ONLY ONE MORE CHANCE TO SEE US PERFORM WITH THE SCENE! This Thursday, May 26th at 9:30pm at the PIT (123 E 24th Street). $5 or FREE w/ improv student ID from any theater.
It took a while, but our set is finally up from our 05/12 show with The Scene! Two parts again because of the YouTube upload max. Our suggestion was “maternity ward.”
Special shout out to Ben Warheit who accompanied us on piano!
Check out The Scene at 9:30pm every Thursday in May at the PIT!
A two person long form improvisation team comprised of Michael T. Astolfi and Michelle Ciotta.
