Show # 2 is in the way!! Mr. Johnson is a phenomenal long form improvisation group, honestly the best , most consistently hilarious group I’ve ever seen, i’ve seen a few over 30 years,.When I first saw these Chicago natives with deep roots in The Second City do their no net,one suggestion and just go show …..all I could think was “Jeez I want to do that !! “ and “Holy crap why don’t more people know who these phenomenal performers are?” So when I built a teaching and performance space behind my guesthouse in Mar Vista last year I built a phenomenal show around them.It’s only $20 cash & All the money goes to the performers and putting on the show.We serve grilled hotdogs…the big Kirkland kind not those bullshit tiny Oscar hotdogs….with every kind of topping you can imagine AND vegan dogs! Beer & hard seltzers are available for a politely suggested (for legal reasons)$1 donation & all cocktails from the Tiki Bar are served with an mildly aggressive suggestion of a $5 donation (Still the cheapest cocktail in a 500 mile radius ) and the legendary Parkin punch is FREE! To be 100% Frank, I lose money on these shows … I pay all the performers very well because I value what they do, I think I came close to least breaking even last time and I’m good with that. It’s a wonderful event that brings wide swath of people… TV writers , actors of all stripes ,animation folk of all kinds , show runners,voice actors,commercial casting people and semi normal civilians together for some incredible music,great comedy and lovely times in the backyard with the a fire and tiki bar.:)Is it a good place to be & a write off you are in show business….absolutely!I miss the the camaraderie of auditioning in person with other actors of all stripes,the DPN lobby and all the other casting studios we used to get to hang out in,this doesn’t replace that but it is a similar vibe but with Comedy,Music, booze ….oh and also we aren’t competing with each other for food and shelter here:) These shows are not open to the public it’s an invite only because it is my house so no website or public pages so you can ABSOLUTELY bring whoever you like and you are encouraged to spread the word ….to decent folk who won’t rifle through my stuff.Just let me know so I can get a head count !We only have 65 seats and we sold out 5 shows last season and our first show this season ….we work hard to sell out and appreciate all of the repeat patrons !So let’s get together before the next pandemic hits!! ALSO BIG NEWS!!! We have cool Tiki mugs & Merch from MaiTiki to give away as well as some Comet Casino shirts and some “3 Weavers” brewery give aways as well. It’s a phenomenal entertainment value, and trust me when I say these shows have all been quite special see you August 10th!
