And Now, For Something Completely Different

This note arrived recently from my pal Zach Davis about a new comedy project he's working on that sounds like a lot of fun:

Hey Chuck! I have an exciting announcement to make.

I, along with my dear friend Jen Fuller, have been working on creating a new kind of theatre entertainment for the Tri-state area and after several months we can officially make it known to the public.

We are proud to introduce LAST LAUGH! A Comedy and Improv Troupe!

We are based out of Boyd County, Ky., and have lined up performances in the Frank's Building until June of next year. Our first performance will be in August and have a back-to-school theme. We are also working on setting dates for venues in Huntington as well.

Last Laugh! is comprised of six core members which include Josh Taylor, Greg Kiser, Susan Rawn, Peggy Walker, Jen Fuller and myself. Of course we have plenty of room to expand as well for those interested.

Our mission and purpose is not only to bring a new form of entertainment to the Tri-State but each show will benefit a charity as well. We will be donating most of the proceeds to a different charity - that way we can give back and spread the joy that theatre and entertainment can bring to others.

Last Laugh! members will be showcasing their own work and bringing an assortment of characters with them. Each member will mimic a celebrity and bring new characters to life as well.

Our goal is to blend the classic "Who's Line..." and Saturday Night Live into one unique showcase each performance. There will be plenty of audience participation games and skits.

We also are encouraging community playwrights to submit material to us as well. We are super excited to be offering this to our area. Last Laugh! is also available to be booked for private events and parties as well.

So get ready for a new and exciting year, Tri-State. Keep a sharp eye open for more show details and if anyone is interested in possibly joining our group or writing skits for us, please contact me via email, facebook or phone!
