Club Sensationzzz

Sam Tallent and Galloway Allbright

An Evening With Club Sensationzzz: The Talk Show ends next Friday, August 29 at the Bovine Metropolis ($10 / 10:15 p.m.). A total of 13 people have attended the last two shows and that is simply a shame. The talk show format is a perfect vehicle for the collaborative, inventive talents of Galloway Allbright and Sam, aka Club Sensationzzz. Their monologues, ad hoc "green screen" visuals delivered via colored marker on poster board, and guest interviews are always entertaining, and often brilliant.

This writer remains baffled by the insistence/refusal of many theater owners to not promote their product, i.e., their extended-run improv and sketch comedy shows. Marketing 101 says following the creation of any product the entrepreneur must then price it, place it in the marketplace, and, finally and most importantly, promote it. Promotion, the hard part, seems to be lost on the owners and the performers who also, clearly, have a stake in their success (they are all apparently too right-brained). "Build it and they will come" isn't a sound business model.

Regardless, bring a bunch of folks to see Club Sensationzzz next weekend. They never disappoint.

Sam at Bleu Cow5 III tonight

Sam will perform standup and sketch comedy in the Bovine Metropolis Theatre's adult-oriented, comedy variety show, Bleu Cow5 III, on Saturday, June 28 (11:55 p.m. / $5).

5280 magazine

"I Know What You Did Last Christmas," was mentioned in the December issue of 5280 magazine as a best bet for entertainment this holiday season. Fridays and Saturday through December 22 at the Bovine Metropolis (8:00 p.m. / $16).

"I Know What You Did Last Christmas" reopens November 16th

Bug Theater

Most of Club Sensationzzz (Sam; Galloway Allbright) participated in the Bug Theatre's monthly "Freak Train" last night. Sam was heartened that CS's sketch comedy was politely received given the audience's "NASCAR-esque" thirst for humiliating flameouts early and often by the open mike participants. Besides, the two burlesque dancers and the guy who did one of Peter Finch's monologues from Network were "impossible to follow..."
