Cage Match Set for Playhouse on Park

It s the first Improv Cage Match of the year at Playhouse on Park on Friday, January 8, and we need you to be the judge! That's right, if you think you know what tickles your funny bone the best, this is your chance to attend and pick the winner! Introducing the contenders: KnucklePuck, History of the Future, and Romantic Baby! All three teams will compete head to head for a cash prize. The victor is invited to return to defend their title at the next show of the series.

KnucklePuck is comprised of four wild kids - all Connecticut natives - teaming up to annihilate the crowd work game through teamwork, physicality, and a whole lot of crazy. The History of the Future met one stormy day, taking a Duck Tour of the Hartford suburbs when suddenly violent bolts of lightning struck the water and massive whirlpool sucked them into a time vortex! After passing the same blue police call box several times, the group emerged in the year 2015. After much griping about how Noah, the tour bus driver, had failed to part the seas, the group ditched the truck on the side of I-91 and set off to tell their story. Predictably, the group never took the time to write any of this down and instead insists upon telling this history in a series of unscripted performances with the help of their audience. The result continues to be, the History of the Future! Romantic Baby is a subsection of Sea Tea Improv, Hartford's premiere improvisational comedy company. The team formed on a road trip to The Cradle of Liberty, Boston, Massachusetts, after a discussion about the genderization of infants. Romantic Baby is all women and all business. When the team is fully met, Casey Grambo, Laura Manasewich, Stephanie "Sproffee" Rice, and Julia Ludovici Pistell are all in the room.

The Cage Match commences at 8:00 pm sharp, with doors opening at 7:30 pm. All tickets are a steal at only $10, general admission seating. This is a BYOB event.
