Make it if you can. Tickets are $10 and you get over an hour and a half of comedy from both the P! Company and Coldtowne’s Mainstage Sketch Revue “Shanty Town Lake”. It guarantees to be a fun night.

And stay for the 10pm- Your Terrific Neighbors and Midnight Society wrap up the evening’s performances. Then… the partying starts. (Or so I’m told- I’m not exactly sure what all that party stuff is about.)

See you there!

The inaugural year of the ATX Sketchfest is here. The sketch comedy festival, put on by local comedy theater- Coldtowne, will officially kick off it’s inaugural year Thursday Night (tonight) starting at 8pm. Groups from all over are performing this weekend- notably: Dear Frailty, Your Terrific Neighbors, Midnight Society, Shanty Town Lake, Stag, Ghetto Sketch Warlock, Audience of Two, and David Holmes and the Friday Forty- to name a few.

But best of all, The P! Company is performing in the popular Friday- 8pm slot. So, pick up your tickets here!

So prepare to see some of what the P! Company has been up to over the last couple of months with both video and live sketches or so. 2010 is the year of the P! Company- so get ready for a lot more action here (the web) and here (locally in Austin, TX).

Luckily, I had access to my cellphone to continue tweeting (@thepcompany) throughout the entire ordeal.  And the aliens, cruel as they may be, did allow us to perform back in January for the Montreal Comedy Showcase- which was a pretty great show in case you missed it.

Anyway,  stuff’s been crazy- simple as that. But the P! Company is back, again. the P! Company has been recharging the ole batteries, and is ready to unleash the best and brightest comedy back at you in person and on the web!

It’s been almost a year since the last open screen night where The P! Company showcased the original Forbidden Zone and as well as P! Company fan-favorite F*R*I*E*ND*. This year, we’ve got a handful more of videos to see how we stack up with the others in Austin.

It’s all happening tonight at the Alamo Ritz (Downtown) at 9:35pm. Click here for tickets and more info. Be there or be square.

SATURDAY NIGHT!
TIGER BEAT VERSUS RAMIREZ & GILSTRAP VS. THE P! COMPANY

Cower before the claws of this lean, mean improv machine, featuring the fang-baringly intimidating Erik Adams, Patrick Knisely, and Katie Sicking.

RAMIREZ & GILSTRAP VS. THE P! COMPANY
It’s a CageMatch-within-a-CageMatch! Laconic comics Nick Ramirez and Lance Gilstrap take on deranged sketch monkeys Andy Petruzzo and Kyle Sweeney for bragging rights to this half of the show.

9:00pm, Saturday
Coldtowne Theater- $5

The See.Hear.Speak.4 performances have come to a close. The comedy festival put on by local comedy theater, Coldtowne, has officially wrapped it’s fourth year with the fest (and the P! Company’s second year).

It’s now that we take that minor step back, and say, “Wow. We made a lot of videos. We should show them off to people.”

So prepare to see some of what the P! Company has been up to over the last couple of months with new video sketches every week or so. 2009 is the year of the P! Company- so get ready for a lot more action here.

We’ve also been working on a new marketing campaign and motto for the P! Company. “Go P! – thepcompany.com”. This should help promote us and the site as we transition into uber celebrities.

Awards for best actor, actress, dramatic moment, classic comic moment, special effects, and much more will be given out to the best and brightest from within the P! Company’s sketch comedy community.

And at the end of the evening someone will take home the best sketch comedy troupe award. Speculation is afoot, but sources are confident that the P! Company will have locked up the best sketch comedy award- as it is their own award show.

This performance plus awards show is a part of the comedy festival “See.Hear.Speak.4.”
Join us for all the glitz and glamor for the P! Company’s night of “See” – January 15th, 8pm at the Coldtowne Theater.

And if you are into music, The P! Company is also performing in the next night of shows with “Hear” – January 16th, 10pm at the Coldtowne Theater.

So, I suppose I’ve always been able to do what I claim I can do now. This really seems to spoil the “cool factor” of this new iPod and this convenient app (short for application).

Also, I’m learning that this feature doesn’t seem to include a spellcheck function. I’m beggining to question the valdity of this purchase as I’ve managed to blow the entirty of the P! Company’s budget for Quarter 4.

Well, Happy Black Friday Universe, Happy Black Friday all the same.

Refer to Kyle’s post for specific definitions of “geek”, “nerd”, and “dork.”

I must say that I was delighted with the results. Because, really, in today’s mile-a-minute, workaday, tech-savvy world, if you’re not a “Modern Cool Nerd”, then just what are you? A jock? A “cool” kid? A stupid-head? Given the alternatives, I’m happy to be stereotyped as exactly what I am: a cool nerd.

Whether or not I am ‘modern’ is debatable: My iMac has a paltry 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, and my HDTV can display 1080i but not 1080p. I’ll leave you, the internet, to make that call. It’s interesting, though: I always thought of myself as a geek. But apparently I’m a nerd. Oh OKCupid, your online tests are like looking into an unforgiving mirror.
