We had a fantabulous opening weekend of “The Canterbury Tales” – two sold out performances and a standing ovation! See what the fuss is about and watch these interviews with the director, playwright, cast and production team:

Did young Comedy Pigs pose for this statue?  No way!

What does this tower have to do with the Comedy Pigs show on Saturday?  Not a darn thing!

Do these ducks care? Heck no!

Is your life lacking in non-sequiturs?  Is the sheer connectedness of your existence driving you to despair?  Are you a hard-core Monty Python fan who feels like a cat in desperate need of confusing?
 
If you answered any of these questions, then you are taking this whole blogging thing WAY too seriously.  What you need is a bit of improv silliness.  Lucky for you, we’ve got some to spare.  Better yet, for those of you who still haven’t adjusted to the whole “spring forward” into Daylight Savings Time thing, this Saturday’s show starts at 9pm.  So drop by and let the Comedy Pigs tickle your funny bone in an entirely non-sexual way.
 
And remember – peanut butter

DC Theatre Scene reviews “The House of Yes” and finds it to be a “…a dark, delightfully creepy little play that will greatly appeal to the avant-garde theatregoer looking for something delicious.”

Interviews with the cast, designers and director of “The House of Yes.”

From Comedy Pig Anne Raugh:

Once upon a time there was a blizzard.  It didn’t start out life as an evil, mean-spirited blizzard, but it couldn’t help but notice that, despite the fact that it was planning to dump a record amount of snow on two of the most important cities in the world, the meteorologists still wouldn’t give it a name.  Every stupid little tropical depression that lasted more than 5 minutes got a name, but not a record-making blizzard. So when the blizzard did its worst and still didn’t get a name, it called its bigger, eviller, naturally mean-spirited cousin.  That second blizzard ripped through town like eggs through a hen, but still no name. Then they called a friend – another record-setting blizzard that just happened to be in the neighborhood.  This third blizzard was so annoyed at the ongoing, no-name-giving, flagrant disrespect that it took a left at the jet stream and headed back towards Washington, D.C. to spit out a couple more inches of snow, just to remind the nation’s weather-heads that blizzards don’t screw around.  AND STILL NO NAME.
 
So you have to wonder – who, exactly, does a blizzard have to blow in this town to get a name?
 
Cabin-feverish enough that that sounded funny?  Come see the Comedy Pigs Saturday night at 10:30pm!  Blizzards get in half price!

“The Amazing Interactive Adventure” opened last weekend!  It’s a super fun and crazy show – it has…

… sneaky thieves…

…sharp shooting cowboys…

…aliens…

…mad scientists and a leggy octopus…

…dancing pirates…

…a warm milk-loving sultan…

…a mischievous troll…

… a lonely dragon…

…and a kind wizard.  You also get to do some magic wand waving, feet stomping and adjective shouting. So bring the family on down to MET for an “Amazing Interactive Adventure!” The show runs on Saturdays at 2pm thru April 3rd.

“The House of Yes” (finally!) opened last weekend!  How was it? Well, I think it totally rocked, but check out these comments from the audience to see for yourself!
