Family Tides Begins its Run Tonight + More

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.

Episode 183: Show 2 of the KOOP Fall Membership Drive. David and Mac are joined in-studio by Jay Robillard of The Lounge Show and Ben Masten and Sam Dingman of the NYC-based sketch group Audience of Two. While it was the low point in terms of listener pledges it was the high point in terms of taxi talk and Courtney Stodden tweets. Fun show.
