Underground

• Internetville / The Feeko Brothers

  Sunday, Oct 14, 2012 3pm
  $8 / $45 (FESTIVAL PASS)
  
  InternetVille is a new comedy anti-talk show format that blends sketch, comedy video, interviews with comedians or other interesting people all within a ficitional town inside the Internet. Two hosts have been trapped inside the internet and decided to make a show which includes multimedia awesomeness, visits from our website neighbors, games, surprise interview guests, musical and comedy acts, and free cookies (if you enable cookies). The show is theatrical in the sense that it's a mini-play with various subplots occurring during the show and playing out before the audience. The audience won't know what to expect but will take comfort in various Internet tropes that are played with such as Memes, Nigerian Prince fraud, Dating Sites, a personified Norton and McAfee, and many more. Each episode or show has a singular theme or story arc that plays out over the course of the talk show with sketches blending into one another and supplemented with video and graphics. In the middle of the show, we bring on two celebrity guests to interview as part of the unscripted portion of the show and then add in an avant-guarde musical guest and character stand-up to end the show. InternetVille is Joe LeVine, Joanna Hausmann, Daniel Kurland, Dan Ramos, Pat Cucuta, Ryan Darden, Sam Kim, and JD Durkin | Web site AND The Feeko Brothers are a sketch comedy duo from Philadelphia, PA comprised of two best friends who have both developmentally flatlined. They each think they are funnier than the other and look to prove it in their show. The Feeko Brothers are Billy Bob Thompson & Christian Alsis | Web site Please note: The PIT Underground is not wheelchair accessible. Please contact us at 212-563-7488 with any questions.

Patterns in Everything

June 21st (One-Day Workshop)

Being in your head has a terrible reputation in improv circles. This workshop is all about being in your head at the top of the scene (a good thing) and then using the information to truly play out of your head for the remainder. One exercise, one technique. Adding pattern recognition to your bag of improv tricks will help you find the comedy faster no matter the form.
