Whatever happened to Benjamin Ragheb?

Fat Penguin, the adorable-yet-overweight improv team of which I am a member, is performing tonight in Cage Match: The World’s Most Dangerous Improv Show tonight at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre.

Somehow we managed a solid 2-1 record at the start of the year, making us the #7 seed for the final tournament. We are challenging The Stepfathers, who perform at the theatre every Friday night and are kind of a big deal, at least in the small part of the world I inhabit. Bobby Moynihan, who recently joined the cast of Saturday Night Live, is a member, and though he’s been busy lately being famous on television, will probably be there tonight.

What I’m trying to say is:

• This is exciting.
• We are probably going to lose.
• You shouldn’t miss this.

Reserve a ticket, then come to the theatre, watch the show, and vote. Preferably, for Fat Penguin.

The Apiary interviewed Alan and me about being in an indie improv team. The Apiary describes itself as “kinda like the US Weekly of NYC comedy”, although I think it really ought to publish more community gossip to live up to that comparison.
