Jana | Chet Watkins Improv Comedy

2 Year Anniversary!

3 03 2011

Chet Waktins has survived some major events over the last two years. A total lunar eclipse, withdraw from Iraq, Middle East revolutions, Australian flood, Iceland’s volcanic ash, and an economic downturn that has effected some of our nearest and dearest. Despite the complete insanity that our world has become, Chet Watkins has prevailed, consistently bringing you to hysterics week in and week out.

Well, we couldn’t have done it without you! So come and celebrate our 2 year anniversary as an improv team this Friday, March 4th with a hilarious show followed by an insane round of karaoke. We’ll be providing snacks and treats, and of course at the Magnet there are great beer specials. Here are the details:

Show: 8pm – 9pm @ the Magnet Theater (make your reservations!)

After party: Chorus Karaoke, 9:30pm (RSVP via Facebook)

If you’re wondering what Chet Watkins is like when engaging in karaoke, check out this video:

Jana’s How-To Guide to Sexy Pics

2 02 2011

When taking pictures for any purpose (business or pleasure) it is important to always remember the motto: Sex Sells. I tell this to my 8th grade students as part of our Persuasion Unit. It doesn’t matter how ugly or fat a person may be, that person can still use his/her sex appeal to to inform, persuade or entertain audiences.

For this reason it is essential to always have “sexy pics” on hand. Sexy pics are pictures taken of a person with a sexual tone and/or expression. There are several ways to develop the nature of a sexy pic, but these are some basic guidelines.

#1: Take sexy pics whenever you travel. This particular sexy pic session was taken when my roommate and I wanted to do a “The Wire Tour” of Baltimore. Nice Baltimore hotels are REALLY cheap, so it was great location to take some sexy pics. For the most part, Baltimore is not a sexy city. I used my iPhone as a camera for these sexy pics.

#2: Choose a sexy pose. This sexy pose utilizes the basic idea that I am a large feline growling and scratching at you. For some reason this pose makes people feel sexy. There are several sexy poses you can make, many of them are animal poses. I was inspired by the complimentary cheetah robe that the hotel provided.

#3: Take a sexy pic in a location that implies sex. This is a picture I took in the shower of our hotel room. Obviously, a shower is a sexy place. Other sexy places are (in no particular order): dark caves, dance clubs and janitor’s closets.

#4: Make an orgasmic face. This final tactic is useful when you have a mirror present. Some orgasm-faces are very unsexy. In fact, I would urge most males to NOT use this technique. If you have difficulty making an orgasmic expression, then emulate the expression that a Food Network host (see Giada DeLaurentiis) makes after taking a bite of their own food.

Memorable Moments of 2010

17 12 2010

2010 is coming to a close and Chet Watkins would like to take a moment to reflect upon the more “touching” moments that we have shared.

Christian punched a whole in the door at the Magnet Theater 2 times in 2 different shows!
Boston Improv Festival: Chris Camp challenged us to a typing competition.
Spending 6 hours in a the car driving to the Boston Improv Festival only to perform in front of an audience of 5.
Lizzie bitch-slapped a tree gnome in a show where she traveled through a magical arboretum.
Kelly had a month of trying various hair styles using plenty of hair gel.
Chet hosted Audience Appreciation Month where we gave out free PBRs!
Dave Maulbeck transformed into a tiny lady from Chicago.
Jana used personal inspiration to play some of the most memorable retards of 2010.
One three person show was based on the Legend of Zelda and ended in a awkward Q&A with the audience.
Friday kick-off party where some bum at Billy Mark’s chowed on all the teeny weenies!

Share with us your fondest memory of Chet in 2010! We will be performing our last show of the year TONIGHT at 8:00! Be there and be pumped!

See you in January at 8.

Chet on a Saturday?!!!

26 06 2010

Dear Diary,

I am a HUGE fan of the improv group, 4-Track. For years I have spent my Saturday nights swooning over these 4 hotties while they tickle me with improv magic. I mean, they’re just dreamy.

Well, guess what, Diary! My improv team gets to play in their spot tonight at the Magnet Theater at 9pm because all of sexy 4-Track is out of town! You better believe I’m going to wear my coooooolest outfit for this one. Does this mean I’m cheating on 4-Track?

Love and Other Indoor Sports,

Jana

Why Chet Loves The Imposters

9 06 2010

8 Reasons we like to have Megawatt shows with The Imposters:

1.) They have superman on their team.

2.) Michael McFarland believes that by playing together, we are having a cagematch.

3.) The Imposters also have a public school teacher on their team, which means that most of them can probably read.

4.) Elizabeth Findlay. ‘Nuff said.

5.) The Imposters may be as emotionally disturbed as Chet Watkins.

6.) They sometimes host an ice cream social after their shows (hint hint).

7.) They address complex social issues in their shows such as puberty, hunchback awareness and embarrassing political moments.

8.) The Imposters are great in bed.

See The Imposters perform tonight with Chet Watkins in MEGAWATT.

“Its Just Me!”

21 05 2010

Chet Watkins knows him as “Dad.” You know him as Christian Paluck. We all know that he is ridiculously funny and should probably have his own HBO Comedy special.
Well, now is our chance to support Dad and get him the fortune and glory he deserves!

This sunday, May 23rd at 8:00pm at the Magnet Theater, Dad is performing his solo show, “Its Just Me,” written and directed by Dad himself.

This show is described as “a Prix-Fixe tasting menu of the socially irrelevant, disjointed imagination of one man. Seven characters, one price.”

Let’s go! Screw the LOST finale. I think this one will be much easier to understand and much more entertaining!

Boston, bitches!!

6 05 2010

Dear Diary,

Chet Watkins is going to Boston tomorrow to perform in Cambridge at Improv Boston! We’re very excited. Thank goodness “Dad” got us a van through his limousine company because otherwise, I would have had to drive my roommate’s Toyota Solara (2 door) up to Massachusetts! Not that I’m bad behind the wheel. Its just that I would rather sit in the back and annoy Camp by pulling his long hair. In case you weren’t aware, Kelly AND “Dad” are always farting. So it’ll be a long ride! My secret surprise? I’m going to bring a tasty treat for Dave’s birthday. ”Dad’s” going to get mad at us because we’ll be so hyper and he’ll say, “Don’t make me turn this car around, goddamnit!”

Love and Other Indoor Sports,

Jana

Coach Russ

28 04 2010

Sometimes we refer to him as “Russel,” because it sounds very professional and Russ is an official improv coach. Russ knows what the hell he is talking about, even when we are staring at him like he’s speaking Chinese during notes. He imbibes Chet Watkins with the kind of care and wisdom that Prospero passes down to Calaban. Like Obi-Wan develops the force in Luke Skywalker, Russ fosters our buffoon-like improv dexterity. He is masterful with obscure and complex analogies of our behaviors and can spin metaphors all night like a wise philosopher. We sit fireside with Russ as he gestures and instructs us on how to be as repulsive and impossible as an improv group can be. His criticisms are usually somewhere along the lines of, “You could be a little bit more ridiculous,” or “Whatever is beyond your wildest improv dreams, make THAT happen.” Sometimes, magically, it really DOES happen! As it turns out, what Chet Watkins needs is a coach that has a little bit of perseverance and faith. Russ is the kind of coach that gets us fist-pumping before our shows, that slaps our asses after our shows, and that studies our playbook when he should be eating Sunday dinner with his beautiful girlfriend. You can’t help but respect a gentleman like that. That is our fearless leader: Coach Russ.
