Go Comedy! Improv Theater Opens LOVE & OTHER URBAN LEGENDS 5/14

Go Comedy! Improv Theater, named Detroit 's best comedy club by the Metro Times and Real Detroit, is excited to announce the opening of its second original written comedy, Love and Other Urban Legends, Thursday, May 14 at 8:00pm followed by the Michigan premier of Megan Grano's one-woman show Oblidged at 9:00pm. Tickets ($10) are available by calling (248) 327-0575, or beginning at 7:00pm Wednesday - Sunday at the Go Comedy! box office.

Love and Other Urban Legends is a revue-style comedy that tackles how dating, love and relationships affect our lives in the funniest of ways. The show has been written through improvisation by Go Comedy! resident cast members Anne Faba ( Clinton Township ) and Suzan Gouine ( Ferndale ) with Marke Sobolewski ( Allen Park ), and direction by Tommy LeRoy & Michelle LeRoy ( Ferndale ). The show is scheduled for an open-ended run.

Oblidged is a one-woman show, where Detroit native Megan Grano (Grosse Pointe) exposes the state of weddings by following one bride's story, starting with her engagement. We meet the self-centered bride, her parents, her sad but eager-to-please maid of honor, her terrified florist, her wacky minister and a multitude of other characters all involved in making this the biggest, and (therefore) bestest day of her life! Go Comedy! is excited to welcome Megan back to Detroit and to host this wonderful show. More information on Obliged is available on Megan's website at www.megangrano.com

Missionary Accomplished: The Audacity of Hump is a rollicking comedic adventure through the wonderful world of sex. The show covers everything about sex, love and relationships from their humble, passionate beginnings, to their bitter awkward endings. No group is left out of this show's veracious skewering of everything that happens in the bedroom and beyond. Missionary Accomplished marks Go Comedy!'s first original production since opening in November of 2008. Written by Bryan Lark (Ferndale), Lesley Braden Phillips (Madison Heights), Chris DiAngelo (Ferndale) and Pj Jacokes (Ferndale), the show's cast features Go Comedy! performers; Lesley Braden Phillips, Chris DiAngelo, Ryan Parmenter ( Southfield ), Jen Hansen ( Madison Heights ), Tiffany Jones ( Ferndale ) and Pete Jacokes ( Ferndale ).
