Fringe Festival Favorite FAIRY TALES AGAINST HUMANITY Adds a Performance 7/29
2016 Hollywood Fringe Festival Encore! Producers' Award-Winner Fairy Tales Against Humanity in association with Jaxx Theatricals, Inc., has announced a one night only special performance on Friday, July 29 at 8:00 at the Matrix Theatre on Melrose. Created and directed by JP Karliak, this wildly inventive comedy show will also play performances on Wednesdays, July 20, August 3, and August 10, all at 8pm, at the Lounge Theatre in Hollywood.
Like children's theatre gone horribly wrong, Fairy Tales Against Humanity is a new interactive improv comedy show which had its world premiere at this year's Hollywood Fringe Festival after a workshop production at Second City Hollywood. A cast of accomplished comedians will take classic fairy tales and fables, and - with suggestions from the audience and special guests - twist them into wickedly hilarious abominations that would make Mother Goose faint. Plenty of adults-only laughter and surprises await. Performance run time is 90 minutes.
Special guests for the Matrix Theatre performance on July 29 are voice-over legends Courtenay Taylor (Fallout 4 and Regular Show) and Kari Wahlgren (Rick & Morty and Fairly Oddparents). The Lounge Theatre performances are set to feature special guests comedienne Lauren Flans (Comedy Central's Another Period and LA's Lost Moon Radio) [7/20]; voice actors Max Mittelman (One Punch Man) & Imari Williams (Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens) [8/3]; and the multi-talented Parvesh Cheena (NBC's Outsourced and East West Players' The Who's Tommy) [8/10]. Guest performers are subject to change.
The show features (in alphabetical order) Amanda Barnes, GillIan Bellinger, Rachel Crane, JP Karliak, Danny Lutman, Andy McDuffie, Chris McGowan (co-producer), Alain Pierre, Jamison Scala, Matthew Schlissel, Travina Springer, Amanda Tate, and Michael Tauzin. Music direction is by Sam Johnides.
