THE IMPROV TRICK CULT-MOVIE NIGHT premieres the first in a monthly series at The Improv Trick Comedy Underground. The Improv Trick presents THE STUNT MAN Sunday, Sept. 27 at 7 p.m. Admission is free.

Since The Improv Trick opened it's doors, the city of St. Louis has been suspicious of this "too happy" crowd of people pitching in and transforming Cherokee Street into a den of degenerates. Dangerous cult activity includes laughing at inappropriate times, bizarre affinities and producing "cult" comedy in an enclosed environment and trapping small groups of people, forcing them to a point of "group laughter".


The Improv Trick's Cult-Movie Night is proud to present a screening of "The Stunt Man," director Richard Rush's kaleidoscopic paean to the pleasures and dangers of filmmaking -- yet it's so much more than even that. Based on a French novel of the same name, the "The Stunt Man" filters the already intoxicating narrative through the artful lens of the director's vision. Is it a comedy? An action movie? Suspense?An anti-war statement? It's all of those and none of those. At the very least it presents the illusionary art of filmmaking as an allegory for reality at large. But what is reality for "The Stunt Man"? Watch this obscure '80s masterpiece, and allow your own flickering perceptions to take the ride of a lifetime. Starring Peter O Toole, Steven Railsback and Barbara Hershey. The screening is FREE.

"I am shocked and amazed," said Bill Chott, star of The Ringer and SNL's Ambiguously Gay Duo (owner of The Improv Trick). "I've left town for only two months and my Improv Theater has become a gathering nest for subversives....the last Sunday of every month at 7:00pm!"

Chott will be present at the premiere!

Weekly Shows Tuesday and Wednesday.
