We’re in Vancouver Tonight!

Chris Camp — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 21:02:41 +0000

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.
