IRON COBRA is happy to announce that we are tentatively booked into Kitchener/Waterloo's only (and first?) festival of improvisation.
The World's Smallest Improv Festival will run one night and one night only (November 19, 2005) and is being presented by Waterloo's own Theatre on the Edge.
More info to come.
It's official - IRON COBRA is a duo once again and we're go back to Atlanta's World Domination TheatreSports Championships to defend our title.
Look out world, we are hanging around and maybe will get you.
Nick Flanagan is something of a phenomenon in stand-up comedy. He really has an uncanny ability to divide audiences. People seem to adore or despise him. It's really kind of amazing.
As if his work isn't challenging enough, we've decided to invite Nick into our closing late-night show in an experimental attempt to bring stand-up and improv a little closer together.
Who knows, this could very well be the coffin nail in that unholy union.
It's our last show. It's late at night. The media can't hurt us anymore. Let's see what we do with that kind of freedom.
With Shenoah Allen, Mark Andrada, Paul Bates, Aurora Browne, Mark Chavez, Derek Flores, Sandy Jobin-Bevans, Becky Johnson, Dave Pearce, Sean Tabares & Waylen Miki.
