LAST SHOW: RETURN TO THE IMPFEST

There's only one more chance to see Spite play this year—and it's a great night of improv at a great event. We were invited back to the Impfest in Bonner Springs (so it's good Nikki talked us out of getting drunk and trashing the backstage). Thursday, October 14, at 8pm, just 10 bucks gets you four troupes: us, The Roving Imp's own Dial-a-Show, the improv-dude hotness that is Babel Fish, and the mostly improv-dude hotness that is Improv-Abilities.

YEAH, WE GOT A SPONSOR.

We like lots of things.

We like improv, so we're excited to be part of the Kansas City Improv Festival for the second year in a row this Thursday at 8pm at the Off-Center Theater.

We like improvisers from out of town, like local-boy-turned-big-star Jason Sudeikis, who comes in to play this weekend. And our friend Jonathan Pitts, who runs the Chicago Improv Festival and called us "the plush toys of improv" and talked to the KC Free Press this week.

We like smart, funny, talented dudes, like our Thursday night show-mates Loaded Dice and festival hosts with the most Improv-Abilities (now with estrogen!).

And we like beer. So we were super-excited at the offer for an unofficial wardrobe sponsorship from our favorite brewery on the planet. Coming up next: A beer-off between Spite and the improv/brewer pal who made this wonderful thing possible.

SURROUNDED BY BOYS AT KCiF.

Spite plays the KC Improv Festival Thursday, September 16, with Loaded Dice and Improv-Abilities, and we could NOT be more excited.

It's like being in a funny sammich, and we're the creamy filling.

Who else is there? Jason Sudeikis from SNL. Two of the very best improvisers from Chicago: improv legend Susan Messing and TJ Jagodowski (the passenger in the Sonic commercials). Other troupes from all over. And all the best local groups.

Order tickets from Crown Center at (816) 842-9999 or Improv-Abilities' website. Want to play? Sign up for classes while you're there.
