pensive


BANDOLERO has a lot to think about - mostly involving our new form, THE LETTER, in which we explore the question:

"Can a 144-page breakup letter inspire 144 shows?"

We bring the letter, you pick the page, we read aloud, discuss, and improvise a show based on what arises.


Followed by THREAT performing their new show, "Fool's Journey".
Awesome. Hilarious. Spooky.


This and every Tuesday night, 9:30, at the PIT, $5 for the whole shebang.

Thoughtfully,
Bandolero

beginning and end


circle of life

Two BANDOLERO shows this week on two consecutive days, spanning the two bookends of the human romantic relationship:

TONIGHT: BANDOLERO provides the (intentional) entertainment in THE SPEED DATING SHOW - two sets of our improv nestled between sessions of real live speed dating. No foolin! Why meet a couple of people when you could meet a couple dozen?

TOMORROW: BANDOLERO at its usual time and place with Threat, presenting our new show-in-progress, The Letter, which takes its inspiration from one of the longest breakup letters the world has ever seen

Thus, if you see us twice this week, you'll witness, in just 24 hours, the beginnings of scores of potential relationships, and the bizarre, fuming debris left in the wake of one's end.


Maybe next week we'll do one show with an egg and one with a chicken dinner.

All shows $5, all at the Pit.

Bandolero is Santo D'asaro, Tara Giordano, Kevin Gottlieb, Geoff Grimwood, Seena Jon, Steve Pasieka, Betsy Winchester, who are in love.

See you New Year's?


free beer on tap


BANDOLERO joins the STAND UP EXPERIENCE and MURDERFIST to bring you:

The New Years Experience: Who Killed Father Time?


- a spectacular comedy, sketch and improv show bookended by a spectacular, yet delightfully human, New Year's Eve Party.

Doors open 9:00 pm, show starts at 10, the party doesn't stop until the last person leaves. We're thinking dawn.

Free beer and food, and BYO approved if you want to bring something a little stronger.

$20 for the entire night - $15 if you bring some food to share.

Monday, New Year's Eve, at the PIT.


We'll be happy to help you work the tap/

PRESENTS


It's BANDOLERO's last Tuesday show of the Year -- so we're celebrating by giving you Presents.

This Tuesday, the 18th, come see us and the legendary THREAT at the PIT
, and you'll not only see two improv teams working their rumps off for you, you'll also get something to remember us by.

So far we've got comic books, a board game, parachute soldiers, and more, including a very special piece of "recreational glassware" that rhymes with "Tong". And they keep rolling in.

So come celebrate our first four months of shows with us, and walk away with a smile AND a gift.

Tuesday night at 9:30, $5.
