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.

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.

You guys knows about Stag Comedy right? Of course you do. You know it’s the sketch comedy project from Mascot Wedding Productions and features the full MW crew along some super talented friends, including members of Master Pancake Theater. I know you check the stagcomedy.com or the Facebook or the twitter, so it’s probably super redundant to tell you that Stag Comedy’s all-new sketch revue Episode 4: The Sweaty Meringue will wrap up it’s two week run at the Alamo Drafthouse Ritz tomorrow, Sunday July 10th at 7PM. The Sweaty Meringue is a mix of live and video sketches featuring tales of violent lawyers, street gangs, dino-ducks, helpful wrestlers, prophylactic icons, and more. Joining Stag Comedy on stage are the femme fatales of the sketch group Rattlesnake. The last show sold-out and this will be the final performance of the full show so the sooner you buy tickets the better.

See, you knew all that. I should just shut-up. See you tomorrow!

++Hot Property at Coldtowne Theater
Hot Property is sketch-prov. That means we sort of write it out but not really and we sort of make it up as we go but not really. Before you judge us as just a lazy sketch comedy group, we need to catch our breath first. And maybe lay down. Hot Property is Mac and David from MW plus Nick and Lance of Midnight Society. Your Terrific Neighbors are your sketch comedy headliners.
Mar 10, 10PM @ Coldtowne Theater

++Hashtag Austin Comedy (Mac does some stand-up)
A monthly stand-up showcase hosted by David McQuary, who is one of the best kids ever. Come see a bunch of funny people and also Mac.

Your December Mascot Wedding Live Events

Hey everybody, here are your chances to see members of Mascot Wedding live in December so you can steal a lock of our hair for cloning purposes (yes, just like in Superman IV: The Quest for Peace).

++ Wednesday, Dec 1: Master Pancake Theater: Lord of the Rings. A benefit for KOOP radio! David and myself will be making fun of The Fellowship of the Ring alongside John Erler and Joe Parsons. All proceeds are going to our beloved KOOP Radio. Buy tickets he- wait, what? It’s already sold out? Then why mention it, unless I’m just a braggart? Ohhhhhh. 10 PM @ Alamo Ritz Downtown.

++Dec 3+4: Jonathan Pace w/ Chad Warren and Mac Blake. Come see me do some stand-up at the Velveeta Room. Jonathan Pace is your headliner, Chad Warren features, and I’ll be doing jokes right at the beginning while you’re getting your drink. Two shows each night, 9:30 and 11:30. Tix are $5 at the door.

++Dec 13: Hot Property @ the Monday Night Mash. December 13 is the birthday of Nick Ramirez from Midnight Society. So it’s a Nick-centric night of comedy at Coldtowne Theater. Lucky for us, David and myself get to work with the talented Mr. Ramirez and his partner Lance Gilstrap in the sketch-prov group Hot Property. 8:30 PM @ Coldtowne Theater w/ Midnight Society and Gang Bang. FREE show.

++Dec 18: Stag Comedy @ Salvage Vanguard Theater. Did you miss Stag Comedy’s last sold-out performance at the Alamo Ritz? I’m super mad at you but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it’s because you were waiting to see us in a more intimate setting. Now’s your chance as Stag Comedy will be doing an encore performance of Episode 3 at SVT @ 5 PM. Tickets aren’t available yet, but when they are, expect a post here, on our Facebook page, and also probably on David’s twitter. The dude tweets.

STAG Comedy lands this Sunday

If you’ve been wondering why things have been so quiet here, it’s because the Mascot Wedding crew has been working like coked-out bees to ready a new sketch comedy show. That’s right, STAG Comedy is back!
Stag Comedy Nov 14 at the Ritz

This is an official Mascot Wedding production and it’s gonna be bad-ass. This Sunday, November 14 at 7 PM, we’re going to unleash 21 new sketches, 10 video, 11 live. We’ve been pouring everything we’ve got into this. I feel like I shouldn’t have to sell this any more than that. It’s going to be fucking hilarious! You’re fucked if you don’t see it. Fucked.

Tix are only $8.50 and you can by them here.
