A Sci-Fi Play written by the Audience - Live - December 20-21 in San Francisco

My main creative project right now is producing an event called Exquisite Corpse Theatre: a party/game/performance where the audience writes a play and then we perform it live.

Here's the poster for our next production, on December 20 & 21, top half by Doctor Popular, lower half by Cameron Eng

Like the play the poster is a blind collaboration a la Exquisite Corpse. Neither artist sees the other's work, they have a few constraints, and only know half the title. And then something this amazing this comes together! The play is like that, too, it's unpredictable and a ton of fun.

The event has some remnants of Surrealism (inventors of the cadavre exquis form) and much Cacophony (the jokers who came up with this theatrical application). I have a cast of incredible comedians and improvisers who are ready to go with whatever the audience throws them. Each show we choose a genre that's fun and everyone is familiar with. The first time it was Film Noir and the last 2 have been Science Fiction.

Our next shows are December 20 & 21st in San Francisco.

Come see Mikl-em in Caddyshack live

Yup, I'm in it. The show runs Fridays & Saturdays in March at the Dark Room. A truly stellar cast!! I'm playing Rodney. Jim Jeske as Ted Knight. Several members of Chicken Scratch Improv, and familiar faces from past Dark Room shows like Wicker Man, Zippy the Pinhead, Life of Brian and others. You should not miss it: ONLY EIGHT SHOWS!

The Trader Joe's Song--a delightful fake commercial

I mention this video in a recent post that I did on LaughingSquid as the same director also directed a few cool commercials with the Mythbusters guys in them.

But it felt off-topic and like too many videos to put in one post, so I excluded this amazingly catchy parody of the TJ-reality. So I decided to share it here instead.

Two posts in one day, this could portend grave happenings.

Daily Show skewers CNN's weak, leaving-it-there coverage

Daily Show Full Episodes Political Humor Ron Paul Interview

This must be one of my favorite Daily Show segments ever. They could stop a couple times along the way, but thankfully they see the satire all the way through. And there is a lot of damning evidence: CNN is a weak weak choice for news.

Those who celebrate goat *ucking will be particularly excited.
