A LOOK BACK AT “THE COMMITTEE”
A Look Back at ‘The Committee’
A program on the influential San Francisco comedy troupe in conversation with author Kim “Howard” Johnson, with special guests to be announced.
The Committee was a San Francisco-based improvisational theater cabaret established in 1963 by Second City alumni Alan and Jessica Myerson. Initially headquartered in a former bocce ball court in San Francisco’s North Beach, The Committee’s decade-long run included numerous television appearances, from The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour to The Tonight Show, the feature-length releases “A Session With The Committee”, “Billy Jack”, and “Steelyard Blues” and theater companies in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
UNCLE’S BROTHER
UNCLE’S BROTHER is Saturday Night Live alumnus Tim Meadows joining up with Second City Mainstage cast members and iO alumni Brad Morris and Joe Canale, to form one of the funniest trios you’ll ever see improvise. A must-see!
REVOLVING MADNESS • UNCLE’S BROTHER
REVOLVING MADNESS, unlike most groups, takes no suggestions from the audience, plays no games and has no agreed-upon structure or story when the performance begins. One performer begins a scene, others slowly join, creating characters, locations, relationships and transitions, and after about 40 minutes the act is over.
