Bat Night 6

Gangbusters! presents our special Bat Night show: comedy performed in environmentally-friendly Complete Darkness! Starring Jared Logan, the spooky stories of Max Von Spyder, and so much more!  This week!

Set List: Unfunny musings!

Someone remarked last week that the prompts here on Set List are insanely complex compared to regular improv suggestions.

My philosophy in writing them is that they are not improv suggestions. If anything, they are the A-to-C connections that improvisers might pull out of an opening game based on a suggestion. After all, they are not the germs of ideas, they are the comedian's notes to remind them of ideas they've already worked through. 

The good ones present either a juxtaposition or double meaning that can be pursued in the direction of a joke. The best ones might do both at once. (The mediocre ones get a laugh all by themselves!)

I don’t want to give you a random noun and hear about what it makes you think of, because–as is always true in stand-up comedy–I want you to come up with a joke, and I very expressly don’t want to hear a dull story about your boring life. 

Set List at the Pack is a completely improvised stand-up show that happens every Thursday night at 10:30, at the Pack Theater in Los Angeles, CA.

Set List: Secrets for Sale!

Obviously, the right way to play the game is to proceed as though the prompts you receive make sense to you, because they're supposed to be your notes, but as a special service for the curious, here's a chance to find out what's really going on with "Yang Rudai!" 

Set List at the Pack is a completely improvised stand-up show that happens every Thursday night at 10:30, at the Pack Theater in Los Angeles, CA. 

Also, I have this ludicrous fantasy where, when we're done with the show, I post all of the thousands of slides for anyone who wants to do their own set list show (at the pack, unless you crop the logos), and I offer to explain any card that anyone is curious about. 

Gangbusters! What's Happening Here?

Look, of course Gangbusters! is going to be a good one this week. It's always a good one. It's our special Completely Normal Show, and when you get right down to it, sometimes I just like making posters. 

Gangbusters! w/ Frank Conniff on 6/2!

This week we're recovering from the Gangbusters! Los Feliz Invitational, and its many twists and turns, by bringing you our very special Completely Normal Show, with a huge lineup!

TV's Frank Conniff! TV's Erik Charles Nielsen! Max Von Spyder's Spooky Stories! The Illuminati! Cloud City Transit! If you make it to only one Gangbusters! show for the rest of the week, it's got to be this one!
