GAG AUSTIN IN LOCKHART THIS WEEKEND!
THREE SHOWS ONLY!If you missed this hysterical, sold-out show on New Year's Eve, here's your last chance to catch it!
Gag Reflex brings their award-winning brand of hilarious sketch comedy back to the Gaslight Theater in Lockhart the last weekend in January as they reprise "The Caucasian Comedy Explosion," hot off of two sold-out New Year's Eve performances in Austin.
"This show is a little different," says cast member Kelly Winn Frink. "In addition to some really funny new stuff, we’re digging deep into the archives and performing some really obscure, hilarious sketches we haven’t done in years."
"Plus, this show will be heavily musical and the songs are hysterical — always among our best, most popular bits, expertly performed," adds Dena Taylor, who sings most of the group’s songs.
The show won’t vary too wildly from the trademark random mix of silly, sexy and cerebral humor that has gained the ensemble a loyal following and critical acclaim (their recent "Charlie and the Non-Existent Chemical Weapons Factory" sold out a run at the Hyde Park Theatre and was an Austin Chronicle Pick, and the group took "Best of the Week" in the annual FronteraFest competition, leading the Austin American-Statesman to write, "Only beautifully sick minds can create twisted comedy like this.")
Sketch topics include office fridge cleaning, rabid mimes, Star Trek, pets, therapy and the "extreme" phenomenon. Laura Bush, the conservative takeover of PBS, diner-speak, Patsy Cline and the Avian Flu are among the subjects skewered in song.
In addition to Frink and Taylor, Gag Reflex Austin includes director Dale Roe, co-founder Joe Stafford, Carrie Sapp and newcomer Ryan Jeanes.
Reservations can be made by calling (512) 376-5653 or by emailing the Gaslight Theater by clicking here.
Costs: $10 Performance Only; $16 BBQ Dinner and Performance; Senior Citizen Ticket on Thursdays $5; Student Tickets are $6 with valid ID card.
