 I'm Kathleen Keenan and I'm directing the complete history of comedy abridged at Los Nation Theatre. It runs May 30th through June 16th. I'm Rick Ames. I'm playing Rick Ames in the complete history of comedy abridged. I'm Dan Rankin and I'll be saying the role of Dan Rankin in the complete history of comedy abridged. I am Liz Davis and I will be playing Liz Davis in the history of comedy abridged. There are certain types of comedy and this show rolls them all into one. This is a true variety show and we hit on everything verbal, physical, psychological. But is this really complete history of comedy? Of course not. It's abridged. It's in the title. I mean we had the original history and it was this huge book and if we'd done the whole complete history we'd be here for two days and that's just not funny. It's a very physical comedy. There will be places where people are subject to the laws of gravity. We may fall down. We may get back up. We're hoping those two things will happen an equal number of times. You will see an array of styles and you will even have some puppet friends make an appearance. And I am a prop comic of sorts and we have a lot of funny props in this show and we'll actually be using some of the audience as comic props as well. So watch out. I am really excited to be paying homage to the Charlie Chaplin-esque style of comedy. There is going to be a nice sequence of moves that you will definitely recognize. You know we will hope to make our audience giggle and chortle and chuckle and gaffa and tihi and hihi and hiha. In the name of the knock knock, the riddle, and the double entendre. Come see the complete history of comedy abridged at Lost Nation Theater May 30th to June 16th
