PLAYING AT KCIF, PLAYING WITH THE BOYS AND MORE SHOWS TO COME!

We're working on putting a few shows together (it has been way too long). In the meantime...

The KC Improv Festival has invited us to perform in September. We'll be joining some of our favorite local improv troupes and some kick-ass groups from around the country. Stay tuned for more.

And you can see us playing with our boy parts at the next Tantrum show, Friday, July 16, at 8pm at the Westport Coffeehouse. Our special guest is local writer Bryn Donovan, whose book An Experienced Mistress features a smart, creative heroine, an insanely hot hero and enough evocatively described romantic encounters that we still, several weeks later, blush furiously if we think about them. (And, you know, we do.)

THE PITCH SAYS NICE THINGS.

The KC improv community got a great writeup in the Pitch this week, with mentions of every major group and the great folks like Tom and John and Ered/Jed who give us all terrific opportunities to play.

Which makes it extra flattering that honorary improv geek Alan Scherstuhl led off with a review of a recent Spite show at the Fishtank. (And used our photo by the fabulous Ben Pieper.

We especially liked this:

The women of Spite upend expectations by thinking in terms of scene and character, rather than just joke after joke, as they satirize the everyday give-and-take of friends and co-workers.

That could pretty much be our mission statement. Also, he called us "prickly," which we like.

MORE WITH OUR BOY PARTS...AND A BONUS.

We've just felt like going co-ed the last couple of months, is all. We're working on getting some Spite shows scheduled so we can try out what we learned at the Chicago Improv Festival for a home-town crowd.

In the mean time, come see us with Tantrum, why don't you? In June, we'll be joined by filmmaker and musician Anthony Ladesich. Here are all the details.
