The joke is on me thanks to the New Movement Theater

You know that old saying “We aren’t laughing at you, we’re laughing with you?” Well this Thursday night you can laugh at me all you want, yea, that’s right you don’t have to do it behind my back any longer! Tell it to my face! Okay, that might be pushing it but seriously my friends from The New Movement, who produce the funniest comedy shows in town, have asked me to be their guest monologist for the evening. I will be telling stories based on my life, observations around New Orleans, and I’ll probably share something pretty embarrassing just for your enjoyment. In turn the comedians will base their entire improv sketch on my musings, pretty neat idea right?

If you want to hear me share my favorite inside jokes and potentially make a fool of myself then come to the Shadowbox Theater at 9:30pm. If you want to attend a free improv comedy class show up at 7:00pm, followed by an open mike at 8:00pm then go early. Hopefully I’ll see y’all there, then come out to the Ogden for Haute & Handmade the following night to watch me model Alabama Chanin’s designs. I’d like to think the two events balance themselves out nicely. Can’t get too serious on y’all, now can I?


Come see me at 9:30!

On Thursday, December 8th The New Movement will be hosting a free intro to improv comedy class starting at 7pm at the Shadowbox Theater (2400 St. Claude Ave). This class will be offered as part of Megaphone Night, a monthly event designed to give people a taste of the cutting edge comedy classes and shows offered at the New Movement, a professional improv comedy theater and training center taking root New Orleans.

Come for the class at 7pm and stay for the Shootaround at 8pm, a free and open improv jam where anyone can participate. The night is capped off with The Megaphone Show at 9:30pm. As the New Movement’s trademark show, the Megaphone Show features a local celebrity who shares true stories from his or her life – stories that are then weaved into a show by an all-star cast of improvisers. This show is $5 (Free for any improv zero participants). Featuring our special guest monologist, the lovely Christy Lorio, founder of the Southern Fashion Bloggers and creator of Slow Southern Style. You deserve more style in your week, don’t you agree?

So grab a friend, throw your cares to the wind, and come see what makes the New Movement’s shows and classes so popular.
