Battle Royale update

Despite their inspired performance, reigning champ Burt's Maintenance was eliminated last night at the weekly "Battle Royale" at the Bovine Metropolis. Nice run, gentlemen.

The Battle Royale March Madness champion will be decided next Tuesday, April 3 (7:30 p.m. / 5 bucks). Sam plays with two of the four long-form improv ensembles still vying for the coveted title: Gary aka Club Sensationzzz (Galloway Allbright; Ryan Mattingly) and Cows on a Plane (Galloway Allbright, Chris Gallegos, Yvette Rebik; Meredith Winfield).

Carlapalooza at Bluebird Theater

Club Sensationzzz will appear before unsuspecting Hazel Miller fans at a fundraiser for Denver City Council District 8 candidate, Carla Madison, at the Bluebird Theater Wednesday, March 28 (doors open at 7:00 p.m. / $20). Also performing will be Victoria Woodsworth and the Heroes, Liz Masterson, and Marty Jones.

Joel Warner at Westword discusses the modest beginning and ultimate destruction of the discarded "Cows on a Plane" sketch in his article "Wild Moo Yonder." A must read.

Fleeting critical acclaim for young Samuel

"Newcomer Sam Tallent impressed me as well. Even in sketches in need of comic defibrillation, Tallent consistently managed to inject some level of humor. Obviously quick on his feet and with a wry sense of the absurd, Tallent is sure to show up in future comedies at the Bovine or otherwise."

Here's Zeidner's complete review of "Cows on a Plane."
