�They Came Together� live screenplay table-read with David Wain, Michael Showalter, Michael Ian Black, Rachael Harris, Zandy Hartig, Erinn Hayes, Joe Lo Truglio, Christopher Meloni, Marguerite Moreau, Amy Poehler, Paul Rudd and more

QUOTE

In 2003, David Wain and Michael Showalter, co-writers of Wet Hot American Summer, wrote a follow-up screenplay (of sorts) to Wet Hot that was a spoof of romantic comedies from the 80s and 90s. David and Michael will present a casual and fun table-read of their never-before-seen (and never made) screenplay They Came Together, along with frequent collaborator Paul Rudd and other special guests.

He is also scheduled for this too

THE THRILLING ADVENTURE HOUR
Appearing with:
The Thrilling Adventure Hour
JANUARY 21, 9 PM AT THE MARINES' MEMORIAL THEATRE
The Thrilling Adventure Hour
JANUARY 22, 2 PM AT THE MARINES' MEMORIAL THEATRE

Acker & Blacker's The Thrilling Adventure and Supernatural Suspense Hour is a staged comedy production in the style of an old-time radio show that proves radio is still the king of all media!

A sophisticated comedy sprinkled with affectionate homage to 1940's era radio, the Thrilling Adventure� program features three non-serialized serials in each episode, as well as jingles and messages from sponsors such as Patriot Brand Cigarettes ("Good for your Constitution").

Ben Acker and Ben Blacker write and produce a new show each month and have since March 2005. The house is regularly standing-room only, and the crowds consist not only of Hollywood denizens seeking a unique evening of comedy, but also loyal fans who return month after month to follow their favorite characters. A second monthly show has been added to accommodate the regularly sold-out audience.

The Thrilling Adventure and Supernatural Suspense Hour is performed by nicely-dressed performers whom you'll recognize from television, comedy clubs, the UCB and Second City stages, and the movies. Each and every one of them is raring to take down Garrison Keillor's troupe of yellow-bellied thesps in a rumble, anytime, anywhere.

Featuring the following performers for SF Sketchfest!

Amy Poehler talking about Chris etc

QUOTE

In addition to celebrating UCB at Sketchfest, Poehler will relive ... that one time ... at camp ... as she and much of the original cast of "Wet Hot American Summer" get together for a "radio play" version of the cult hit. Looking forward with excitement to the first bona fide reunion of her camp mates, she confirms the making of the ultra-low-budget parody of '70s and '80s summer-camp movies was irresponsible fun.

"Oh, yes. While it was happening, I knew I would probably never have this much fun working on a movie again. It was getting to go back to your adolescence in your 30s, but knowing all you know and having your party skills refined," she says by phone from New York.

"The combination of a great group of fun people, not having to work every day of the week, all of us sleeping over in giant cabins. ... This was before BlackBerrys and the Internet and stuff, this was '98, so you had to just kind of leave a note on someone's door and everyone met at the same pizza place. I have a lot of fond memories of it because it felt really, truly innocent and old school."

Many of the movie's performers would graduate to the big time, including Bradley Cooper, Janeane Garafolo, David Hyde Pierce, Elizabeth Banks and Marguerite Moreau. Of these heavy hitters, Poehler guesses that Christopher Meloni and Paul Rudd, as an extremely intense camp chef and an eye-rolling teenage lothario, respectively, might have had the most fun playing their parts.

"I would throw Ken Marino in there because I think he really enjoyed his wig work. A good wig will brighten anybody's day," she says. "There are so many little moments in the movie, and half of it is just so bananas in the best way. But I remember the times off set more than what I actually did in the movie.

"I remember this small bit - my character had this big lunch tray and Chris Meloni opened the door, it kept smashing into me and splashing all over me. One time it actually knocked the wind out of me, but I did not complain because I was a trouper and did not want to seem like a person who couldn't take a hit to the stomach with a metal tray from the guy who was in 'Oz.' "

Sometimes I think so, the light blue shirt and the light couloured trousers kinda reminds me on Carriers, yes and there are his hat and his denim jacket again, I think he must love it... in my opinion he should mothball it

^^ My pleasure. Just glad to see someone comment when I can see a large number of views. He does seem to wear the same things a lot. I personally can't bear that denim jacket and he wears it a lot. I've got used to the hoodie that he wore at the second sketch show.
This tweet from @whathappened also refers to that one.

QUOTE

Detective Stabler wore goofy jeans, a graphic hoodie, and a shiny watch we could see from the back row. So: just as you imagined him.

The @ThrillingAdv people said there was a possibility that their show might make it to a podcast. Someone who was in the audience tweeted that they stopped people taking pictures during their show.
There might be some more pictures later when the other WHAS show is on.

He's just a simple kind of guy who likes comfort...his comfort. This seems to be a trait of a lot of men. Some of his selections drive me crazy but that's what makes him intriguing to me. Thanks again and hey all you lurkers, drop a post here now and then too. The more the better.
