Two MW Performances this Friday at ColdTowne

Spooookin'
This Friday at ColdTowne Theater, Mascot Wedding will be taking part in two different shows. Up first, MW’s sketch comedy team Stag Comedy will be opening for Midnight Society, as part of their new sketch show, Midnight Society Presents: Halloween Spooktacular IV: Midnight Gallery. Stag will be performing three brand new spooky sketches. Two killer groups on the same bill? Of course it’s gonna sell out. Doors at 8, show at 8:30. Tickets here.

Boxxxin'
Then later that night comes the Cage Match! David, Ximena, and myself will join up with Annette Cantu, Kate Bojanek, and Midnight Society’s Lance Gilstrap to form The Box Social, an improvised dating game loosely based on the 90s TV fiasco Studs. Show at 11:30. Tickets here.

Bring it: All shows at ColdTowne are BYOB.

Out of Bounds is over and David’s show with Master Pancake is sold-out (or RSVP’d to the max), so if you’re not quite ready for some football come to ColdTowne Theater tonight at 8:30 PM for the debut of the Family Tides show. First the cast will get one family story from the audience and improvise characters based on it. Then a second story will given and interpreted. Finally in the third act the two groups of characters will meet. An all-star cast of Austin improvisers is joined by MW’s own Mac Blake. The show will run the remaining Thursdays in September so if you can’t catch it tonight you have three more opportunities. Tickets here.

Also this week, Mac will be a part of a Wildfire Recovery Benefit stand-up show and THE FINAL MW BROADCAST OF MEMBERSHIP DRIVE. More on that tomorrow.
