TONIGHT: Found Comedy at Philly Improv Theatre

Philly Improv Theatre at the Shubin (407 Bainbridge St.) runs a series of shows called "Found Comedy". PHIT has a great thing going with a recurring set of hilarious shows that sort of write themselves (after just a bit of research finding the subjects).

The first is comedian Brendan Kennedy's "Guilty Pleasures" @ 8 (with underground Philly comedy sensation Roger C. Snair). "Guilty Pleasures" has been cracking up Philly for three years now with awful, un-produced movie and TV scripts--the worst Brendan can possibly find--which are acted out on stage. Here's an [NSFW] video from one of the shows.

"TV Party" @ 9:30, with Paul Triggiani (Secret Pants) and Rob Banewiecz (Meg and Rob), takes a look — Mystery Science Theatre-style — at crappy TV shows from the past. The resident Philly sketchperts exhume ghastly shows that would have hoped for a quiet, un-noticed death and take them to task, because it's one thing to jot down a terrible script idea, it's another thing to be brought a terrible script and go ahead with producing it.

Tickets for each show are $10. For more information visit phillyimprovtheater.com.
