Storytelling Show

Passing this along from Vijai Nathan. It's a planned monthly comedy / storytelling show for Adams Morgan:

I'm producing a Themed Comedy Show called "Fan-Freaking-Tastic" that combines stand-up, storytellers and music-- to create the funnest comedy party show in town! Performers who want to have fun, are cool with audience interaction are what I am looking for. Themes will be broad-- so don't worry!

While the spots will not be paid, you will get a great audience and be able to craft your comedy. One of my goals was to provide a receptive space for comics to evolve their comedy into storytelling. Chris Rock, Russell Peters, Kathy Griffin-- all storytellers and all funny.

I've already lined up 3 Saturdays between March and June-- More to come. If you have a clip online (3-5 minutes), please send it to me--Vijai-- at fanfreakcomedy@gmail.com

New Shows

I did an update of the Theater Show listings, so that's now up to day. The State Theatres has some new comedy ventures in the form of a Jim Norton show and Christopher Titus coming up in a few weeks.

Also added is the Feb. 25 show at the Arts Club of Washington sponsored by Brightest Young Things; it's a combination music/comedy show.
