To make things easier and let cluttered, I’ve split up the Events section. There are now pages for limited and regular events in the Oklahoma City and Tulsa areas. There are even new events on the pages including Tokyo In Tulsa and the Sunday Twilight Concert Series. It seems a bunch of neat events recently passed and there doesn’t seem to be any really cool events coming up for awhile. As always, if you know something, drop me a message.

In our Talent archive, I’ve uploaded more full length improv shows. There’s the Villain: The Musical’s May 1, 2010 The Lab Show and a Crayons Improv show.

Speaking of OKC Improv, their third run will start next Saturday, June 26 with shows at 8pm and 10pm continuing with weekly shows through July 31st. In addition to returning favorites like OKC’s own dyanmic duo of comedy, Twinprov, the improvised music theater extravaganza Villain: The Musical, and the hit all-female troupe, The MiDolls, three new metro troupes will be making their debut during the summer run.

OKC’s Stretchin’ It will perform their mix of raunchy improv and sketch comedy as part of a blue show intended for adult audiences only on July 10 at 10pm. Awkward Pause, made up of performers trained at UCO by Sue Ellen Reiman of Everybody and Their Dog and The MiDolls, will open. Also made up of performers from Reiman’s class, two-man group Improv-ing The World, will make their debut on June 26.

On June 10 at 8pm, OKC Improv will host two out-of-state troupes that specialize in the Harold long-form, Gangs of Recess from Fort Worth, and the Dallas Comedy House-based FIAD. July 17 will bring yet another Dallas long-form group, The Hindenburgs, performing a variation of the Armando.

The upcoming run will also include performances from some of OKC’s best stand-up comedians including Brad Porter, Spencer Hicks, and James Nghiem and a preview of Magician William Rader’s new mentalism show, set to debut this fall.
