Live MWS from Out of Bounds, with special guests Aphasia

This Saturday, September 1st, the Mascot Wedding Show is pulling double duty (*giggle*). Not only will it be our second show during KOOP’s Fall 2K12 Membership Drive, but we’ll also be handlin’ our bidness live on stage at ColdTowne Theater, part of the Out of Bounds Comedy Festival. Joining us at ColdTowne, will be Aphasia, an amazing Chicago improv group in town for OOBFest.

If you’d like to see the show in person, we’ll be starting the jibber-jabber at ColdTowne promptly at 6PM. Anyone can attend, you do not need a special badge or pass. If you can’t make it out, tune into 91.7 FM or koop.org at the same time to hear the show from the safety of your car, home, panic room, shelter, or fortified basement.

And just because we’re going to have a crazy billy bananas time at ColdTowne, doesn’t mean we’re not pushing hard for the KOOP MD. Look over our special MW premiums and memorize this number 412-472-5667 to call in during our show (you can also pledge online here).

UPDATE: See? The Austin Chronicle is looking forward to it.

MW joins Master Pancake Theater for Conan the Barbarian


Five years ago Mascot Wedding had its first collaboration with Master Pancake Theater. Over 100 shows later, John Erler, Joe Parsons, David, and Mac have reteamed to make fun of the sword and sorcery sex-epic that started it all, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 1982 Conan the Barbarian. All of last week’s shows sold the eff out, so buying your tickets early is a really smart idea. Two shows Friday, two Saturday and that’s it.

As for the show itself? C’mon, it’s Ahnuldt chopping up, sleeping with, and yelling at everything that crosses his path. Seriously, this movie has like 9 beheadings, 4 sex scenes, and one future governor. It’s great! The only downside is that there will not be a Mascot Wedding Show on KOOP this Saturday.

Tickets here.

MWS Episode 229: Radio Shakes and Andrew Rosas

Episode 229: Mac is on assignment, so it’s up to Stag‘s Andrew Rosas to talk David off the ledge. Topics include: David buys a car, beach towels, Chik-fil-a, actor career changes and reclamations. David fights through the no-sleep shakes.

Original air date 08/04/12.
