Shameless Plug of the Weekend - Twin Cities Improv Festival 4

This is the thing I'm most bummed about missing this weekend, so if you have the chance, *you* definitely shouldn't miss it. (Yes, you.)

Because just like Christmas and the Minnesota Fringe Festival, the Twin Cities Improv Festival (TCIF) comes but once a year. And the time is now.

And what a great line-up they have, once again. (I seriously need to plan my summer better next year.)

TCIF (#4) has already begun. Last night's improv fiends included visiting acts from Philadelphia, Chicago and New York, in addition to our local comic geniuses in Fingergun, What If? and Stevie Rays's.

Tonight (Friday) the double bills...
