It was difficult to get Padraic to take a moment away from carefully wrapping his complimentary Chipotle performer burrito, and commit to being in this group picture.

Over the last year the Lakeshore has turned into a great venue for alternative stand-up (I saw Patton Oswald there). The dressing rooms are a little small for improv groups, though, especially the second tier one.

We were the opening act for the closing night of the festival. I think that's a pretty accurate representation of our place in improv pecking order. We're the smallest of the bigish. We should put that on our posters.
