Hello Friends,
Due to overwhelming demand we’ve started work on some brand new Zombie Chef videos! And more than just that.. we’re going to have a live premiere of one of them at the Music Box Theatre as part of their 5th Annual Sci-Fi Spectacular on Saturday March 19th!
The never-before-seen video will debut around 8:30pm before the midwest theatrical premiere of Rubber a movie about an inanimate rubber tire with destructive telepathic powers (seriously. (Awesome right?))
Well since we know you can’t wait we’ve decided to attempt to satiate your lust for zombie goodness with a teaser video and some photos! Check it out here.
Help us win the Atom.com tournament by getting as many people to watch Zombie Chef as possible. If we win we could get a meeting with Comedy Central. We also get 500 bucks that would go towards funding future Zombie Chef episodes and our upcoming sketch run. So help us help the world become a more gentlemanly place.
We’re having a pretty good time right now. Writing new shows. Writing new videos. Making a weeklong tribute to SAW films.
“Hold the phone! We don’t like SAW! Why are we doing this!?”, the group pondered aloud.
“We’re not doing this. I am. I like SAW,” said Zoran quietly.
And then the blog continued…
That’s right, Zoran’s own LowCarbComedy is saying a fond farewell to SAW in style with a new SAW parody film everyday starting Oct. 25th and going until SAW 3D opens. Well, I kinda spoiled the trailer a bit. The trailer gives you all that same information. HOWEVER, it does it with a hell of a lot more style and hammer clangy noises.
That means there are lots of fun things to do in and about town including shows and videos!
The Gentlemen of Long Pork are keeping busy too. Aside from gearing up for Sketchfest NYC and our big road trip for it. We’re excited to announce we have a Improv show coming up next week at the Playground!
Wednesday May 26th 8pm. $10
The Playground Theater
3209 N Halsted
Chicago, IL 60657
Seeing as it’s improv it’s going to be COMPLETELY new material. This is only our second show improvising together here in Chicago so come see us!
Okay aside from that you should also check out our good friend Devin Keast in his one man show:
Devin Keast, Gentleman and Sunshineface - Friday night May 28th. This will be his closing night, it’s also $10 and also at the Playground. Devin is great, if you went to our Harold Ramis show you’ve already seen him perform and fill in for Seth. So how could you not go?
If you’re not doing anything this weekend you should check out some dramatic theater completely unassociated with Long Pork:
Sinnerman Ensemble’s Days of Late – Now playing at the Viaduct and closing this weekend. Sinnerman is a local not for profit theater company here in Chicago out of Steppenwolf, awesome people, some of which donated to help get us to NY so go see their show!
John Morrison – (our photographer, webmaster, promoter and jack-of-all-things-not-performing-or-writing) has launched a new photo blog of his street photography for the Tribune. You should take a look: Focal Points.
Zoran – Put out a new video on LowCarbComedy.com! A few of us are in it (and by a few we mean everyone associated with Long Pork except Morgan and Seth.) So you should go watch that.
Actually… ya know what, since we’re such generous guys… here you go, we’ll just embed it for you. Here’s the link just in case.
Oh yeah… then there is this. But we’ll talk more about that later.
Okay pretty people, we’re done telling you what to do for now. Enjoy your summer!
The other night I went to the Kit Kat Lounge for some half price “Tini’s” with a few friends. They had a 2 page spread full of drinks with names only a stargazing teenage girl could dream up. “Snickerdoodle”, “Lavalamp”, and “Bradley Cooper” were all among the ranks, though to me they were worth only a taster’s sip. I could barely finish my “Black Widow”. Next time I’ll be sure to stick to the straight up Martini.
Oh, and I was molested by Tina Turner. This video is round 1. IF round 2 had been taped, you would be privy to the twisting of nipples — MINE– and an overall heightened sense of uncomfortableness.
We were featured on Beyond the Pedway today where we talked about sketch comedy, why we do it and the anatomy of a Long Pork show.
Also, tomorrow is the big day! Tomorrow night we are opening for Mr. Harold Ramis!
Here are the details:
Saturday March 20th, 2010
7:30pm – 9:30pm
Emanuel Congregation
5959 N. Sheridan Rd.
Chicago, IL 60660
You can buy tickets here and if you use the discount code of “LongPork” you’ll save $10. However, we’ve found out that Gold Star Tickets is selling them for a low-low price of $20 so we’re not questioning it, check them out here.
Anyway, we can’t wait to see you folks tomorrow night. If we haven’t met you before, please take a moment to come say hi and introduce yourself, we love making new friends!
