The Black Version, created by Jordan Black, remains as one of the longest running, most celebrated, best improv shows in the country. For the uninitiated, Black and his stellar cast of improvisers make the “Black Version” of a movie title suggested by the audience. This show has played Groundlings, Largo, and plenty of comedy festivals across the country, and is now going to have a very special, two night run in NYC at the newly formed Midnight Theatre (located right by MSG).

Joining Black will be the long time Black Version veterans including Daniele Gaither, Gary Anthony Williams, Nyima Funk, Phil Lamarr, Karen Maruyama, and Cedric Yarbrough.

This NYC run of The Black Version is set for Fri. Feb. 24th & Sat. Feb. 25th at both 7PM and 9:30PM. Tickets start at $40 and you better go snag ’em here.

Pick of the Day: Groundlings Presents Pam Temperature’s Holiday Xtravaganza 12/15

We’re entering the thick of the holiday season and it’s that time of year when the accompanying very special holiday comedy shows come around. Usually, there’s gigantic casts, line-ups, etc. for holiday themed comedic chaos and, though it has to be done virtually, this year is very much the same.

The world famous Groundlings will indeed be doing a very, very special live-stream of all sorts of characters for the holidays with Pam Temperature‘s Holiday Extravaganza on Tues. Dec. 15th. Just see this stuffed cornucopia of a line-up Pam Temperature (Annie Sertich) has including: Tim Bagley, Allison Dunbar, Chloe Fineman, Ryan Gaul, Michael Hitchcock, Phyllis Katz, Andrew Leeds, Lyric Lewis, Laird Macintosh, Karen Maruyama, Kevin Nealon, Jake Nordwind, Edi Patterson, Ron Perlman, Jim Rash, Leonard Robinson, Jeremy Rowley, Lisa Schurga, Mitch Silpa, Mindy Sterling, Michaela Watkins, Chris Williams, and Susan Yeagley.

On top of that holiday comedy spread, you might even get a chance to be a part of the show!
