The Red Tie Mafia Announces Fall Season of Shows

The Red Tie Mafia, New York City's best short form improvisation comedy group, is pleased to announce their Fall 2011 season. They can be seen every Tuesday evening at 8:30pm at Triple Crown, 330 7th Avenue, NYC.

Each season marks a fresh twist on comedy, and each show is always new and never been previously performed material from the rotating casting. It's the best place to have a lot laughs in the city for only a few dollars. The Mafians play some classic and original improv games with a special pop and always encourage audience participation. The Red Tie Mafians like to say their shows are like if SNL and Who's Line is it Anyway eloped and had a baby.

Nina Ashe, one of Red Tie Mafia's founders and local stand-up comedian, remarked, "Some of our former Red Tie Mafia members who have gone on to great success include, Joel Dovev, author of the recently published book, "Crap At My Parents' House", (and creator of the wildly successful blog of the same name) ; and Nate Dern, the current Artistic Director at the world famous Upright Citizens Brigade. I'm not saying we're responsible... but we totally are."
