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.

Dear Chet,

Sorry I busted your door…twice.  It was in the heat of the moment and as I said, “I’ll be over here tomorrow to make sure it get’s fixed.”  Thanks for understanding buddy.
