Thursday’s Don’t Have to Suck
Our Comedy Around OKC episode comes around to showcasing some classic stand-up comedy with Thursday’s Don’t Suck at the 51st Speakeasy. Along with Uncovering Oklahoma’s interview with Brad Chad Porter on the showcase are comedy bits from Sam Higgs, Spencer Hicks, and of course Brad himself. Best of all: the show is free, but you 21 or older to enter.

Kabaret Falschtanz at Maker’s Straight Up
The last Sunday of every month at Maker’s Straight Up, the Kabaret Falschtanz puts on a show of dance, comedy, music, and theatre that’s sexy and a little bit naughty. Our Jessica Alcorn interviews director Lynna Schneider along with other members of Kabaret Falschtanz.
Their next show is this Sunday, July 25. I highly recommend checking out the show.

The Dueling Piano Bar
Uncovering Oklahoma (finally) visits Michael Murphy’s Dueling Piano Bar in Oklahoma City’s Bricktown district for our Comedy Around OKC episode! Our new guest host, Jessica Alcorn (who is filling in for Sasha), interviews General Manger, Wayne Potter, along with musicians Stephen M. Winter and Lee Huff to talk about the show. Be sure to hit up the Comedy Around OKC episode page for more information and pictures. (I also updated that page, fixing some stuff on OKC Improv and added an album link.)
Bonus fact: we had originally planned to do a segment on Michael Murphy’s for our first episode, however, timing for an interview with the owner never worked out. It was for the best though because we did a better job on the video now then what we would have done back then. I did manage to use one quick shot of b-roll (it’s the clip of the girls singing on stage) from when I filmed some stuff on the place last year.

It’s OKC Improv!
The premiere of our Comedy Around OKC episode starts off with our segment on OKC Improv! OKC Improv is Oklahoma’s first ongoing professional showcase of local and regional improv comedy and theater. Ali Heidari interviews producers, Clint and Buck Vrazel, on what OKC Improv has to offer. Also included with our interview is a clip from the OKC Improv All-Stars where they perform an improvised musical based on the Twilight series.
But wait! There’s more! This video features the premiere of Uncovering Oklahoma’s new title credit sequence!
OKC Improv is having two shows this Saturday. At 8pm Stillwater’s own Cueless will be returning to the OKC Improv stage followed by the impressive Villain: The Musical. Then at 10pm The MiDolls, Oklahoma’s first all-female improv group, continue their conquest of the world with a nun-themed show followed by a new Twinprov show called Rap-City, in which the Vrazel brothers merge story-telling with hip-hop beats.
Tickets for each performance are $10, cash at the door. Reservations are encouraged because they expect to sell out. Be sure to watch our video and check out the episode page for more details and pictures.
We still have more segments planned for our Mystical Journeys episode. We’re just working on two episodes at the same time because we are awesome!

Collected Thread
It’s still Tuesday, if only by a few minutes, but the video interview on Collected Thread is now online! Ali interviews Lindsay Zodrow as she tells Uncovering Oklahoma about their handmade and vintage offerings. For pictures and more information, visit our Shades of Fashions episode page. I’ll have even more pictures up on our Facebook page later on.
Today, I took a business trip (I totally get to say that now) to Norman. I took pictures from some of the past places we had visited as I plan to reformat all of the episode pages to match the style of our sixth episode. I also did some research for two of our upcoming episodes, one on art galleries and the other on the mystic and metaphysical realm. Stay tuned, especially if you want to watch our bloopers from our fashion episode.
