Chet Watkins Improv Comedy

Tonight, Chet Watkins is taking part in the 12th Annual Vancouver Improv Festival as one of the invited international ensembles.  The world probably isn’t ready for the intense and raw comedic stylings of Chet Watkins but Jana Schmieding, Christian Paluck and Kelly Kreye will bring it to the world anyway.  If somehow/someway you are in that part of the world tonight you can see the show at 9:30PM at Performance Works in Granville Island Vancouver.

If you happen to still be wandering around lost and a lone tonight in New York City you can catch Chris Camp in the Armando Diaz Experience at the Magnet Theater.  Armando will be the Armando.  Should be a fun show.

In show news, you will be able to catch Chet Watkins every Wednesday in October at 10PM.  We can’t wait to see your grossed out and generally disapproving faces at that late night time.

Hey all,

Chet Watkins is revealing their hipster persona by performing this Wednesday night at The Brick Theater in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.  The details are below.

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:

Before I got myself involved into the world of comedy, I was trying to get involved in the world of music.  There was a long history of amazing bands I was in.  Benny J Wooster and The Crazy Irishmen, Subpar and Los Laundros.  I spanned all genre’s and in 2001 I had my big break.  Naughty by Nature invited my friend Nick and I on stage in the middle of one of their concerts to see if we had what it takes to become musics next sensation like Eminem and Britney Spears.

Nick and I were nervous but we knew exactly what we had to do.  Instead of free styling we would perform a song we would rap between friends while trying to pass the time during summers at Charvale Pool in Burnt Hills, NY.  This rap had proven success over our hometown crowd so it had to work here.  Well we were met with the following reaction.  YouTube paaaa-leaze -

West Coast – the lyrics

West Coast West Coast, Get Yourself some toast.  I don’t mean to boast but I got the most West Coast.

Crusin’ round the ghettos watchin homies get dissed, chuggin down a 40 man I gotta take a piss.  Slammin down a 40, slappin round a bitch, pop a cap and kick his ass and throw ‘em in a ditch.

West Coast West Coast, Get Yourself some toast.  I don’t mean to boast but I got the most West Coast.

But like the contestants on American Idol that sometimes get cut in an earlier season, I will rise like a phoenix and my music career will take off again.  All I have to do is convince Chet Watkins to let me take over our hour long show so that I can showcase my wide range of musical abilities.

Hmmm… well we do have a show tonight at 8pm…

(beep boop ba beep boop… ring ring ring… Hey guys I got an idea!)
