LOL With It: The Stonewall Players & Vincent DiCostanzo tonight at PHIT

POSTED: Friday, February 8, 2013, 2:02 PM

Local sketch group The Stonewall Players are performing at Philly Improv Theater tonight at 7pm. They've recently released a pay-what-you-want comedy album called "Pretty Goddamn Good." (If you want, you can pay nothing. On behalf of creative people everywhere, I'll go out on a limb and say--if you have a few bucks they'd appreciate it, but if not, they'd still rather you check it out and get a few laughs.) The Stonewall Players consist of Matt Schmitt (writer for PHIT house sketch-group Flat Earth), Andrew Cramcsak, and Joe Pantalone. You can check out an interview with Matt Schmitt over at WitOut.net

Also performing at the show is fellow Flat Earth writer Vincent DiCostazo, known for being auteur of the hilarious, now defunct Philly sketch group The Gentlemen's Rotary Auxiliary. Also a Flat Earth writer, DiCostanzo will be performing his (mostly) one man sketch set "The Clay and Calhoun Sketch Comedierie," which debuted at this year's Philly Sketch Fest. I asked the 35 year old Rutgers History/Film major how he describes his style of sketch-writing. "I generally think in terms of scenarios rather than characters," he admits. "So I'm more likely to put a normal person in a bizarre situation than a bizarre person in a normal situation." Incorporating multi-media, and a hand from Secret Pants' Paul Triggiani, DiCostanzo is ambitious for basically taking the role straight-man in a one-man-style show.

For tickets, visit Philly Improv Theater.
