The Hustle Show: Best of Some of the Best

This month, THE HUSTLE SHOW presents a collection of some of our best sketches. We didn’t consider all of our best sketches, just the some we knew you’d like. Look, do you think we’d post the honest face of one Mr. Eric Roberts if this wasn’t going to be a kick ass show? Of course we wouldn’t. It’s like Eric Roberts’s tattoo says, “Old Schoolin’. No Foolin’.”

This show you can expect:
-Stand-up from RALPH HARDESTY
-Haunted food trucks
-Presidential Eros
-The secrets of immortals
-Space basketball movie talk
And more assorted mayhem.

Kiss away our pain this Thursday 10PM at ColdTowne Theater. BYOB and only $5. Sometimes shows sell out, sometimes they don’t. Advance tickets here ensure entry.

Starring Jeff Whitaker, Curtis Luciani, Courtney Sevener, Tre Fuentes, Sam Malcolm, Scott Raney and Elizabeth Osterwisch.

IMPORTANT: Crisis on Infinite Mascot Weddings


This is gonna be a little weird today. Due to circumstances out of our control, we’re not going to be able to broadcast live from ColdTowne today. So, we’re splitting up. David will do the MWS live over the airwaves with special guests Stag’s Andrew Rosas and KOOP’s own Rush Evans. Mac will be doing a live podcast recording at ColdTowne Theater with special guests Lance Gilstrap and the Chicago Improv troupe Aphasia. Both shows will end up as podcasts on the site.

So if you want to see a live MWS today, come to ColdTowne at 6PM. If you’d rather stay indoors, listen to 91.7 FM or koop.org at 6PM today – and hey, maybe pledge and get some swag (pictured above). After all, it is KOOP’s Membership Drive.

Also, you can see us united in sketch comedy tonight. All part of Out of Bounds.

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.
