Out of Bounds Report No. 3: Get Up, The Premiere of Double Eagle Short Films Festival, and So Much More Tomorrow Night


The return of Get Up, Friday on the Apples Stage of the Salvage Vanguard Theater, 10 pm.

Out of Bounds Comedy Festival co-producer Shannon McCormick performs as one half of improv duo Get Up tomorrow night at the Salvage Vanguard Theater, Friday 29 August - 10 pm. McCormick and partner in comedy Shana Merlin deliver the unexpected with innate humor and acting ability. Nerdvana (Los Angeles, CA) mix up improv and sketch, making funny nerds funnier and sexier than "Beauty and The Geek". Before these two dynamic duos hit the Apples stage, audiences will be treated with the first Double Eagle Short Films Festival, which showcases comedic art on film at 6 pm, and improv by "smart, clean" 88 Improv (Omaha, NE) and the critically hailed Unexpected Company (Warwick, RI) at 8 pm. Tickets for the Apples stage shows are available here.



Let's not forget the Oranges stage and ColdTowne Theater...

On the Oranges stage: At 5:30 there's a panel discussion, "Improv Into Income", geared toward performers attending the festival, but free and open to the public. After the friendly panel, get ready for a rumble with Battle of the Sexes III - Improv Throwdown. It's the gals versus the guys in a series of scenarios and games where the audience decides the winner. The battle featuring improv pros from across the nation begins at 8 pm. Junk (Austin, TX) and pHrenzy! (Chicago, IL) make comedy chemistry with improv at 10 pm. (Get Tickets)


The OOB edition of Stool Pigeon plays at ColdTowne - Friday, 29 August @ 11 pm.

Friday night at ColdTowne: OOB expands its comedy repertoire to include stand-up, featuring the comedy of Austin comic Bryan Guttman (9 pm) and New Yorker Jamie Lee, of VH-1 fame (10 pm). Other comics include Kerri Lendo and Nick Ramirez, and one of the shows is hosted by Chris Trew (Terp2it). There's also a who's who of Out of Bounds performers teaming up for A Very Special Stool Pigeon I, in which the headlining stand-up comics encounter improv. These shows are expected to sell out fast, so get your tickets here.

Tomorrow: Out of Bounds Report No. 4 - More Comedy and More Stool Pigeons
