Our good friend Etta James never made near infidelity sound so wonderful. You can play it and sing along.

… And you might be wondering what you should do with yourself tonight. You might have spent the last few days with family and friends sitting on the couch and watching football and passing out early to sleep from food coma and the other related things. Today you you might be itching to get back out on the town and do something fun! Well, might I suggest that you come visit us at the Magnet Theater tonight for our weekly show at 8pm. Get your reservations by clicking on the “Reservations” button on the right side of the page here. We will see you at the Mag later!
Magnet Theater
254 W. 29th Street, NYC
Improvised New York is a podcast show hosted by Elizabeth Quinn and Justin Zell. We sat down with Elizabeth on Veterans Day (Justin no longer lives in NYC) and discussed the history of our group, the Magnet Theater, Armando Diaz, the power of positivity and playing as an ensemble, being “that guy” in improv class and a lot of other stuff.
Starting on Friday November 5th, Chet Watkins will no longer by apart of the Wednesday night Megawatt lineup.
Instead, we will be taking the stage in our own hour long Friday night show, every week at 8:00pm! That means longer sets, cheap beers, more convenient weekend time and joining a nightly line up with amazing improv comedy groups like Taco Supreme and the long running Made Up Musical.
Make reservations now and be ready to have a full night out as we will be hosting a after party at Billy Mark’s West on 9th Avenue and 29th Street. Our last Megawatt show will be with Phooka next Wednesday the 27th, so be sure not to miss that either!
Chet Watkins officially welcomes Laura Grey to the team. You can check out Laura’s bio here – CLICK. And you can see Laura every week with the rest of Chet Watkins @ The Magnet Theater on Wednesday nights at 8pm. That is this Wednesday! So come and say hello.
This week (October 13th) we are playing with Megawatt powerhouse team Phooka. We will be first up so come early, grab a drink, a seat and something to hold on to because this is going to get funny.
This week we are changing it up a bit. We are NOT performing tonight at Megawatt. Instead we will be joining veteran Magnet team Junior Varsity for a Thursday night show at 10pm! Chet Watkins will also be guesting at the Thursday Night Mixer. So if you want to get on stage and do some scenes with us show up early at 6:30pm and stay the whole night and see every show for a mere $5. Two great teams, free pizza, improv mixer, laughs, what could be better?
Well… there could be one thing to make it better. Laura Grey (LauraOnLaura) could perform with us in tomorrow’s show. What you say? That is indeed happening?! Oh my! Laura Grey is a native Chicago area acclaimed improviser and performer. In Chicago, Laura wrote and performed two original revues for the Second City Etc and performed in the ensembles at IO theater (formerly Improv Olympic,) The Annoyance, Comedy Sportz Chicago, and the improvised musical Baby Wants Candy.

Simply put… don’t miss this!

Chet Watkins and Dunk will be holding it down at the Magnet Theater tonight at 8:30pm. Lots of fun to be had.
Make your Reservations now! The past two weeks NY Pizza Suprema provided free pizza. Will they do it again? We are actually not sure but let’s be honest, the mere chance of getting free pizza should get you off the couch tonight.
