Hey guys!

First of all - thank you to one and all who came out to The Magnet on April 26th and made the Chappies show a sold out smash success!  If you missed the show, or want to relive your favorite moments, you are in luck.  Every Monday and Thursday for the next few weeks we are releasing a sketch from our show on youtube!  There has never been a better time to subscribe to our youtube channel and watch us rock it.

If you want to get right to it, you can watch the first two sketches here:








Also - I'm doing a last minute ukulele show at Variety Underground tonight!  I haven't played out in a while and will be playing a bunch of new awesome stuff so come if you want.  Yay!

Hey favorite people in the whole world!  I've got some shows this month that are my first of the post-Bush era!  Yay!  So expect my comedy to feel much freer and liberated.  So liberated, in fact, that one of my shows has puppetry involved.  Also, some are appropriately FREE in order to help us all deal with the recession!  Whoo!

First up - your favorite bad-ass men of the sketch and improv scene, The Top Shelf Chappies are performing two shows this upcoming Monday and Tuesday that are free for the recession!  I think there's going to be free popcorn at these shows too.  Monday is a sketch set, with the awesome Jurassic Park doing improv and on Tuesday, we are doing improv ourselves!

Hey guys,

Although I'm not performing in a revival of Funny Thing... I am doing something even better: chillin out with your favorite improv family, the Yes Andersens. Hasn't it been a while since we've seen you? You can make Zaida Louie feel better, we've got two shows this week. One tonight at 9:30 at the Magnet and another at 11PM on Saturday at the Spoon Theater. After these two shows, there's three other chances this month to catch the Yes Andersens at The Magnet!

Snag a post card from one of us and get in two for one!

I would love it if you would come to these Magnet Shows. We're going to get more shows dependent on how much audience we bring in so we need and love your support!

Firstly, your presence is requested at the Magnet Theater this Thursday at 8PM for the MEGAWAR! My improv team, The Yes Andersens will be facing off against another group of improv powerhouses, Country Bush for your audience votes! The winning team will continue against other winning teams for a battle of comedy supremacy. I love Country Bush almost as much as I love The Yes Andersens so I think this is going to be a great show. If you can't catch us this week, tYA have two other shows this month as well (and maybe more Megawars if we win this one. It's up to YOU!)

After speaking with The Magnet Theater people today we are starting up an official Four Week Magnet Theater Teen Improv Class starting THIS SATURDAY! Yay! This is a great way for all of us to have some fun together before the Christmas Break.

The class will be Saturdays from 12-3PM (as per usual). Class location is TBA, but will probably be at Champions also as per usual. Class dates are November 17th, December 1st, December 8th and December 15th (no Class November 24th for Thanksgiving). There will be a class show at the Magnet Theater December 15th at 6:15PM. Cost will be $150.

Please take a look at the description of the class here

And you can register here (please do so ASAP , to confirm your slot! It may fill up even quicker than my last class did!)

You can e-mail me with any questions you have or can e-mail Leanne (the Magnet's registrar) at classes@magnettheater.com or call them at 212-244-8824

Cheers! Thanks to all of you for continuing to make the program a growing success.

Hi Teen Improvisers,

Just a heads up, wanted to let you know there are only 3 Slots Left in the fall session of my Teen Improv Class! So, if you wanted to sign up, now is the time to do it. I'm predicting it will fill up in the next few days.

Here is the info again for everyone. Class location may change - may move it to a bigger rehearsal space:

I am officially offering a new teen improv class that will start on September 29th and run for 6 weeks from 12-3PM on Saturday afternoons. It will be at Champions Studios - 257 W 39th St. Btw 7th & 8th Ave, 14th Floor, NYC. The class will cumulate with a performance at a theater space in New York to be determined. The tuition will be $150.

The class will be a continuation of the skills being taught in previous Teen Improv Classes I have taught and also will have a lot of room for new students to give improv a try, and for students that have been away for a while to jump back into it! Please feel free to tell friends who are interested about the class, registration is not limited to students who have taken classes with me before.

To register for the class, please e-mail me at Louie4711@gmail.com telling me that you are registering for your class. You will receive a confirmation e-mail with class dates, payment info and other information.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to e-mail me, or to message me here.
