the folks over at sketchworks, the sketch comedy troupe in decatur, are looking for your help. they are getting ready to make a pitch for a tv show and they need assistance rating some of their recorded skits.

they are hosting a free focus session tomorrow night at their theater in decatur, and if you are willing to spend about 90 minutes rating some pretty funny stuff from 1-5, they will give you a free ticket to a live show in the future.

i’ve reviewed sketchworks before, and i found it hillarious, so i think this will be fun if you are a fan of saturday night live style humor. plus, it’s free and you get a free ticket to a future show.

check it out if you can and bring friends….

kudos to the plaza theater for staying relevant in the days of megaplexes, netflix and corporate run art-house theaters. the main thing the plaza has done to stay profitable is to create a whole host of “experience” events that combine a movie with other elements to create a night people will pay for. generally these include older movies that people love to see and may never have seen on a big screen.

last night i checked out the plaza’a flicks and giggles which takes place on the last tuesday of the month. the gig is they have a live comedy performance, usually a stand-up, show some trailers for classic comedy movies and then show a classic comedy flick.

thanks to tessa i found out they would be playing joel and ethan coen’s classic the big lebowski which is probably my favorite movie of all time.

what a blast. the comedian was decent, they showed trailers for fletch and raising arizona both of which would be great movies to have for flicks and giggles in the future, and then i got to see one of my favorite movies on the big screen. what is it about seeing a movie you love on the big screen after years that is just great? i dunno, but for $10 it was a bargain. i’ll totally check it out again.
