From my improv comedy troupe’s latest press release:
NH Comedians Take to the Web for Live Interactive Performance
What happens when the Youtube generation meets ‘Whose Line is it Anyway?’-style comedy live on the Web? Improv comedy troupe Stranger Than Fiction plans to find out. The New Hampshire cast will broadcast an interactive performance on Tuesday, January 15th at 7:30 PM via live video stream provider Mogulus. Viewers will contribute ideas through a chat room and watch their ideas come to life instantly. At show time, viewers can log in for free at http://www.mogulus.com/improvcomedy
“This may be the first live improv show designed specifically for a web-only audience,” says troupe director John Herman. According to Herman, the troupe experimented with the concept in late 2007 with a secret audience. “We didn’t know if it would work, but our test audience absolutely loved it. Now everyone is invited. What better way to use the Internet than to spread laughter with it?”
Cast member Petrus Albus adds that there are many benefits to the collaboration of New Media technology and improv comedy. “People can watch some great live comedy in their underwear if they want. And it’s quality entertainment without having to pay for gas or parking.”
Stranger than Fiction performs improv comedy in venues across the Granite State. The troupe’s next face to face performance is at The Barley House in Concord on January 17th. The show starts at 8 PM. For more information, go to http://www.strangerthanfiction.us
