The Found Object Juggling Show

Michael Rayner’s show has been described as “preposterous brilliance” and “whacky jugglement,” a combination of hilarious tricks and stunts with uproarious stand- up. His signature trick is spinning a Burger King cheeseburger on a parasol which garnered him appearances on America’s Got Talent, The Late Late Show with James Corden and The David Letterman Show. He’s also appeared on Sesame Street, The Extreme Gong Show, Thirty Seconds to Fame and Nickelodeon’s What Would You Do. He can also balance shoes on his nose, a wheelbarrow on his chin, along with many other unique found object juggling tricks.
He performs regularly at Southern California venues, Flappers Comedy Club, The Magic Castle, Hermosa Beach Comedy Magic Club, Teatro Martini Cabaret, The Tony Martini Show, The Brookeledge Follies and Downtown Disney,
Michael frequently pops up in TV commercials. He was a weird scientist for IBM and a dork washing a cardboard car for Saturn. He played a hapless gas station attendant who tries to take a photo of Elvis in an Energizer battery commercial and has appeared with Ringo Star, Jane Seymour, and Anthony Quinn promoting other worthwhile products. Maybe his proudest achievement was having Frank Sinatra personally approve him to promote his compilation CD for a Capitol Records commercial.

Opening Night: The Improvised Musical!

OPENING NIGHT: THE IMPROVISED MUSICAL!® is exactly that: a Broadway-style musical that is made up on the spot, based on audience suggestion. So every night is the `Opening Night’ of a musical that has never been seen! Now in it’s fifteenth year, Opening Night: The Improvised Musical!® is thrilled to continue the show LAWeekly called, “almost too slick to be completely improvised.” It is, by the way—completely improvised.

Led by Director Shulie Cowen, Opening Night: The Improvised Musical!®’s cast combines the Chicago-style improvisation of the iO and The Second City with the Broadway stylings of Rodgers & Hammerstein, Gilbert & Sullivan, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Bob Fosse, and many more. Occasionally, they even borrow the 76 trombones from The Music Man. They usually give them back.

Cast film and television credits include; The Wedding Band, The Superego Podcast, How I Met Your Mother, Desperate Housewives, My Secret Girlfriend, Reno 911!, You Don’t Mess With The Zohan, and World Cup Comedy.

“Come back again and again — you’ll laugh every time.” (LA Weekly Best of 2010)

Workshop 2B: Facing Your Improv Fears - Kelsey Gitlin

Improv is a very diverse art form and therefore not every person likes every part of it. Everyone has something they’d like to do less of in improv, but it’s that very thing that you avoid that could give you unexpected strength in scenes. In this workshop, Kelsey takes a personal approach to helping everyone face their individual improv fear and learn how to still give a great performance in their less than ideal circumstances. By helping you work with your fear rather than work through it, this workshop is dedicated to celebrating the individual strengths and fears we all possess. This workshops is ideal for more experienced improvisers but all levels are welcome!

The cast and musicians start with audience suggestions and work together as an ensemble to improvise songs with the intricate rhymes, soaring counter melodies and complex themes that are all hallmarks of Sondheim’s work, creating a wholly original, thrilling musical with every performance.

“The pros of L.A. based Impro Theatre are spectacularly quick-witted and imaginative, not to mention vocally talented…They skillfully managed to be both clever and musical. It was fantastic to watch them play off each other. They are amazingly gifted and very, very funny…the most brainy, witty, dexterous, side-splitting comedy you’re likely to see all year.”
