Pervert Gazette: Issue #5 (Patreon)

Notice to all improv pervs,

It's the Improv is Dead Newsletter #5, can you believe it!?

We've come down from out festival trips after our most recent to Richmond, VA for the 2nd Best Fest. We had an absolute ball with our friends and we met some great local pervs in the process. If you came out to that show, it was great to see ya, meet ya, and perform for ya!

Pod News:

We've got an episode in the bank that'll drop in the next weeks here with Adal Rifai and Matt Young of Hello from the Magic Tavern that's a real treat. We'll also be recording with Erin Keif and Olivia Neilsen this week on top of some more in person episodes. We're bursting with that good good prov.

This Saturday we're doing it live again with our friends Lauren Frost and Erin Washington at LSI in Chicago. If you're local, come on out for $5 and BYOB!

Also, we're playing Saturday July 25th as part of iO Fest along with Reckoning and Friends and BLAST! Should be a hoot! We're part of the Saturday Day Pass

We'll be doing a podcast workshop at iO Fest as well and we'll let you know when that is if it's something you might be interested in!

We dropped the Improv is Dead Survey Spooktacular yesterday. If you didn't get a chance to fill it out and wanted to, you can do so below!

Improv is Dead

Tim

Continuing my stand-up journey, I did my first open mic ever! Terrifying? You bet! Ultimately had a great time and learned a lot. Apparently you can just leave as soon as you're done but not me. I stayed for 4 hours and really got to see what works and what doesn't.

TV

Widow's Bay came to a close and it was a fantastic first season. Excited to see what they do next. I've got a major backlog of shows I need to catch up on but I just haven't had a chance to sit down and do the deed. If you've got anything I should add to my list you're loving, let me know!

Movies

Saw Jackass Best and Last. Bit of a clip show but ultimately a great time at the movies. If you grew up on Jackass, you just love watching those guys hang out and sack tap one another.

Oddly I've found myself watching movies on Tubi with the Ad Skipper extension on Chrome. The other night I popped on 2002's Ghost Ship and let it rip. Something about the early 00's where they wanted the ghosts to be the good guy in the end and help the protagonist get away. Includes a righteous alt-rock montage. Also re-watched Smile 2 which has become one of my all time fav's if only for the incredible use of cHorroregraphy™.

Gaming

JPC has been teaching me and a buddy how to play Magic the Gathering so I've been doing a lot of MTG Arena. There's a bunch of Improv nerds who also do a monthly cube draft and did my first one of those. Had a blast and I'm hooked. I played a bit in college but barely, so it's been nice to jump back in!

Books

Finished Book 8 of Dungeon Crawler Carl, now what!?

Damian

Damian is hard at work with Old Town School of Folk putting together the Square Roots festival happening this weekend in Chicago! It's an incredible time and if you're local, you should definitely go check out some folk music!

If you're in Chicago, come out to the Square Roots Festival, 7/10-7/12. Lineup here: https://squareroots.org/music/

Dan

Is having a great summer. Enjoy this text exchange with he and I after I had been telling him to check out Widow's Bay for weeks.
