Hello everyone. On Monday the 26th, I am off on my huge, adventurous 7 city comedy tour with my comedy partner Kaitlin as our improv duo Buckshot N Benny! Before that, we are doing a warm-up show this Sunday and our BIG TOUR KICKOFF on Thursday. Also, got a rare public Story Pirates show and two more Yes Andersen shows! So, Here is a little calender for all of the rest of my shows. After this week, no more NYC shows for 3 MONTHS! See you at one of these, or see you in three months!

Buckshot N Benny North American Tour Kickoff
The dynamic New York/Vancouver longform improv duo known as Buckshot N Benny (Kaitlin Fontana and Louie Pearlman) are proud to be back playing at the Magnet, where they first began working together. This set is the inaugural show of their North American tour with Vancouver's !nstant Theatre (Alistair Cook and Rene Dellafont). BNB have been called, "An incredibly subtle and affecting success" (Mike Hingston, The Peak) and "A [true] example of 'improv THEATRE.' This set is the sort of thing than non-improv people see and can't believe is improvised. It was that good." (Gary Chan, Bad Dog Theatre Co., Toronto). Buckshot N Benny: The best (and probably only) bi-coastal, international improv duo named after an obscure children's television show that you will ever see.
