Saturday's show was not only sponsored by Present Magazine, but Time Warner Cable filmed the entire show. They said that they would be putting it in their On Demand section. Once we have information and links, you will be the first to know.

Breaking News


What the hell was that? Oh, that was Babelfish's Joe Henley, Nathan Stewart, and John Robison.

Why is it important? Oh, they performed this format, recorded it, sent it to Chicago, and were accepted to perform in the 2009 Chicago Improv Festival.

What should you do? Oh, leave them some comment love.

Stay Tuned

Many Kansas City Improv groups have submitted for entry into numerous improv festivals across the country. Stay tuned to hear who ended up where.

Until then enjoy this fun fact:

John Lehr who stars in 10 items or less and was also one of the original Geico cavemen, is a native of Overland Park, KS. Just like Paul Rudd and Jason Sudeikis.
