Free Long Beach Improv Show!

By Sonnjea Blackwell

Hey, I keep forgetting to remind you all that Held2gether presents Last Laugh Saturday is THIS Saturday. See:


Told you. I don't lie about these things.

For the uninitiated, LLS is our free monthly show at Hot Java, where we do an hour of unscripted short-form improv based entirely on the audience's suggestions. Since it's improv, we never know exactly what to expect, but there's a good chance vampires, Westerns and lovers will be suggestions. Maybe we'll take 'em, maybe we won't, although we are especially fond of scenes about vampire lovers in the Wild West.

For you regulars, I just wanted to let you know we're making some changes! Even though it's improv and every scene is always different because it's based on its own unique suggestion, it is possible to get into a rut. I don't know what surprises Darren has up his sleeve, but he's been going around laughing that evil mwahahahahaha laugh for a few days now, so I for one am a little concerned.

The show's at 8 p.m., and it's a good idea to get there a pretty early if you want a good seat. If you want a crappy seat, come whenever.
