This is going before the show!

You win!!!!

It's showtime!!! (well, almost)

First of all, don't forget that the show is this Friday at 10pm at ComedySportz and costs a paltry $5. Cheap, right?

Second, I want to make a personal message about the show in terms of it's "funniness" factor. When Erin and I we were putting the final touches on the video segments last weekend, I was finally able to watch a portion of the first show. I laughed my ass off time and time again, but I had the nagging thought in the back of my head, "How is our new show going to compare?" Well, to put it mildly "Everything About This Hurts" is funnier than the last. I'm not kidding, it's just good comedy featuring so much talent your head might explode. So, if you're debating on what to this Friday then you should give TJR a shot. I can promise you (as long as you don't hold me to it) that you won't be disappointed.

Video Promo

A reminder

So, I was listening to my extensive Jay-Z collection and I realized that our show is next week! Can you believe it? May 23rd...

I suppose we should start rehearsing...

Yay! A Promo!

Feast your eyes on this!



Have you ever wondered how silly that sounds? Feast your eyes on this? That must be colloquial...

In Memoriam

In addition to their all-new sketch show, Track Jacket Revue will be presenting an even more meaningful and spiritual event on Friday, May 23rd. After the show TJR will be remembering our lost savior Brett Favre in a public memorial service. The service will be immediately proceeded by a ritual "Burning of the FIB."

On a related note, TJR is looking for a dependable (and discrete) source of ether for their upcoming daytrip to Chicago.

Track Jacket Thrill Show!

I just got off the phone with the legendary Tommy Bartlett from the Tommy Bartlett Thrill Show and Robot World in Wisconsin Dells. At first I thought, "Sweet he got my application and I too can water ski with the ladies." Sadly he didn't want to discuss my resume. Mr. Bartlett was furious with Track Jacket Revue for hosting it's second show at the start of Memorial Day Weekend. He's afraid we'll cut into his profit margin because people don't want to drive to the Dells to see a show that hasn't changed since 1986, his words not mine. I told Mr. Bartlett that we can't help that our show is only 5 dollars or that our show can save America, combat global warming and get virgins laid.

Needless to say the conversation didn't go well. I offered him free tickets and he told me to get bent. I guess I'll have to water ski somewhere else, Lake Michagin if I have to.

Actual (well, new to be honest) Show Date

Well, well, well it looks like we actually have a show date. After much deliberation we've settled on MAY 23rd. Don't worry, that's still a Friday and it's still going to be at 10pm and still only cost $5. Yup still a measly $5.

Those pictures Mike was talking about

This is for all you Track Jacket groupies out there who can't seem to get enough of the team. Following are several production stills from our very first day of shooting.




I'm not sure why I look like a forty year old woman in the last one. Eh, take what you can get, right ladies?

Goddamn.

Been a while, ain't it? We've got some new production stills ready to show, if Leeford ever gets around to uploading them somewhere, we also have a new promo you might never see. Neat! We think ComedySportz will let us play with them on May 16th, so that's what we're going with until we say otherwise. We should wrap shooting by the beginning of May, and given our proclivity to short bursts of extreme productivity, that should mean everything will align itself perfectly for the show date. Neat! As ever, the show will be at 10 PM with an open bar and waitstaff, and only $5. Check out any of Milwaukee's lame-ass clubs--the cover's going to be 3 times that or more. What do you really want to do on a Friday night, stand in line to get ignored by fuckin' skanks or come laugh your ass off at us?

Cream of Wheat Recipe

Cream of Wheat is prepared by boiling water and slowly pouring in the farina while stirring. As it's stirred, the farina starts to thicken and mix with the water, creating a mixture that thickens depending on the ratio of liquid to farina. Some choose to use milk instead of, or in addition to water, to give the resulting food a creamier taste. Currently there are three available original mixes, the difference being in the time it takes to prepare — 10-minute, 2 ½-minute or 1-minute.

Just thought everyone would like to know!

Meanwhile...

TJR's improv alter-ego "Dos Extremos" recently won ComedySportz-Milwaukee's Rec League Championship with a decidedly biased victory over the Stopmotion Dinosaurs. The championship-clinching vote was purchased from none other than CSz founder and progenitor Dick Chudnow, who owed Mike a dollar.

Thid past Friday, Dos Extremos played a professional show against an all-star cast of ComedySportz veterans and, through sheer force of the LeFevre family, won handily. Can any challenger knock them from their lofty perch in the upcoming season?

Rec League begins anew in mid-January.

All is a Buzz on the Lake Front

Greetings all! Are you having Track Jacket withdrawals? Well no need to worry fans, all five of you. The Track Jacket Revue held its first meeting to discuss the future of TJR and we're planning a lot for 2008.
Beginning this winter we will begin video production of our all too sweet video sketches. Our next show will be in the Spring of '08, an exact date has not been set.
We'll then take a short break to travel to China for our respective Olympic specialities: Mike-One Man Water Polo, Lee-Septathlon, Vince-Cheerleading. After winning our gold metals, we'll have plenty of momentum as we preform our third show in the Fall.
And to round out the year we'll have a Christmas Special! So it'll be a busy 2008, but we love doing it and you apparently love watching it. Check in later for more details.

Don't Forget!

Track Jacket Revue is under constant judgement and criticism over at Funny or Die! Help us out by voting us funny, or else we'll be summarily executed. If you weren't able to come to our show, this is a good opportunity for you to see some of our sketches, like this hilarious commercial parody starring the incomparable Michael T. Kauth!

Thank you and good night!

Well, we're one show down and a infinite more to go.

Seriously, thanks go to everyone who helped make our premiere show, "Pulp Comedy from Concentrate" a possibility and more importantly a huge success! I don't want to get into specifics, but I will say this, we broke even and then some. Boo-yahs all around.

Also, if you want a PDF of the program from the show, which contained a smart and hilarious crossword, you can download it here.

Also, make sure to stay tuned to our blog, here, at this website that you're viewing now.

Sorry for That

I'm truly sorry for the outlandish font size and excesses of capitals and exclamation points in the previous post. Do understand that we are not accountable for Vince's actions, but be aware that he has been satisfactorily sedated, and shall not awaken until 9:15 Friday night.

THE SHOW IS NIGH

Our premiere show, Pulp Comedy from Concentrate, is only a few days away and much to our surprise we're ready for it! All of our video has been edited, we know our lines, we have costumes and props, and sound and light. But more than anything else we have a talented crew to execute the show to its highest potential. I think everyone who comes will have a great time. So come to COMEDYSPORTZ this Friday, OCTOBER 12th at 10PM!!!! After all, we will have cake.

We be editing...

Hey All

Just so you know we are editing, rather than drinking. Below you can see our sweet, sweet intro that Mister Michael put together. Stay tuned and get ready for the show on October 12 @ 10pm at the wonderful, beautiful, amazing Comedy Sportz Arena!
