On Tuesday night (6/22) the Berkeley Cafe will host an improv show featuring four teams. The show starts at 9pm, and admission is $5. Here’s a rundown on the teams:

Really Special People

"What is Really Special People? It’s thin. It’s beautiful. It goes anywhere and lasts all day. There’s no right way or wrong way. It’s crazy powerful. It’s magical. You already know how to use it. It’s 2000 laughs and counting. All the world’s improv in your hands. It’s scenework, games, more characters than you could meet in a lifetime. It’s Sean, John, Jeremy, Kate, Josh, Ann Marie, Chris, and Hobert. It’s already a revolution. And it’s only just begun."

The 708

It’s time for something amazing. Any ordinary object you suggestbecomes a larger-than-life experience that inspires the team for all the scenes that follow. The 708 are veterans of the DSI Comedy philosophy.

Biological Necessities

Biological Necessities is a raucous young group of improv minded no-goodigens, drawn together in equal parts by their shared love of making people laugh, and the collective dirtiness of their minds. Despite the eternal bond BN now shares, the group was originally cast solely to represent NC State at the southeast regional of the College Improv Tournament. However, once the group (and the rest of the world) got one little taste of the sweetness, there would be, and could be,
no going back. BN is: Chuck Givens, John Fowler, Kevin Bragg, Mike Davidoff, Zac Hobert Thompson, and Vinny Valdivia (and occasionally the Papal Cleeferson McPoperschteen) Our Show: Biological Necessities loves nothing more than taking one audience suggestion, and exploding in your face with comedy! You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and who knows, maybe you’ll even learn something??? Come and see why BN are no longer allowed in God-fearing parts of the
country!

Vaguely Familiar

This has happened to everyone at one time or another. You’re sitting around with your friends, talking about random things. All of a sudden, you get an idea. It’s either the best idea of you’ve ever heard, or the worst. Either way, it’s going to be an interesting night. Come see us. The experience will be Vaguely Familiar.

Big, Busy Week Ahead

Dana — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 16:05:12 +0000

I busy week, indeed. Let’s start with sports. The long-awaited, first-ever Thursday night football game for Chapel Hill begins at 8pm tomorrow night. Florida State and Erin Andrews (not necessarily in order of importance) are in town for a game that will be featured in ESPN. Plan accordingly, as traffic in Raleigh and RTP should be horrendous.

The other reason for traffic problems is the N.C. State Fair which ends on Sunday night. Today the Wake County Public Schools have an early release day, so there should be many students invading the fairgrounds. Tomorrow is can day, where entry is free for those with 4 cans of food for the needy. The remaining music acts are Julianne Hough, Anoop Desai, Jeremy Camp and Tenth Avenue North, Blake Shelton, and Eric Church.

The State Fair isn’t the only other draw for tens of thousands of people. Raleigh Wide Open begins Friday, and celebrates the grand opening of Raleigh’s new City Plaza. Delbert McClinton headlines the main stage of music, however more interesting, perhaps, is the Cherry Bounce stage, which is the culmination of a week-long local music series downtown. The series aims to get exposure for a mostly unheard of list of bands. Be sure to stop by the WTVD studios on Saturday afternoon for your chance to get on Wheel of Fortune.

The big stand along music event occurring this week is Queensryche at the Lincoln Theatre, tonight. However in the Greensboro Coliseum, rock gods AC/DC will play Sunday night. INto industrial? KMFDM is at the Cradle Monday night.

There is plenty of theater for the people this week, too. The Picasso Ballet performance by the Carolina Ballet continues at the Fletcher Opera Theater while NC Theater’s West Side Story production runs at Memorial Auditorium. Tonight David Copperfield will be at the DPAC, while the Carolina Crown II (wrestling theater) will take place at the RBC Center on Saturday night. NCSU alumnus, John Reep, the “Hemi guy” plays at Charlie Goodnights this weekend.

If all of that excitement isn’t enough, be sure to swing by the Raleigh Convention Center for the Junior League’s Shopping SPREE!, a seriously awesome event when shopping for things women like.

For more info on these events, check out the gogoraleigh Do-It Calendar. That’s a heck of a week! I can’t wait to get out there and DO IT!
