if not, you will be able to feel it on the 10th, 11th and 14th!
Its time for the annual Valentines Shows!
Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th at 7:30 and 9:45 for only $12-$14 you can experience the magic of the Valentines Shows...
whats special about them? games like Video Dating Service, where two players will try to convince you of their extreme date-a-bility, Pick Up Lines, where both teams will try to wow one lucky audience member with their charm and grace or Soap Opera Digest, where an amnesiac will have to awaken in a world turned upside down with intrigue, gossip and romance!
in my opinion, though, the best part is the NCT Rose Ceremony- at these shows teams can only get points when they earn YOUR roses!
Its an exciting way to start your Valentines week with a bang.
and then
you can join us on February 14th- ACTUAL Valentines Day- for the Pink Elephant Show!
at 7:30pm, one show only, for only $10!
We're taking the popular Elephant Show for a love themed spin-
its great for a date, if you have one.
its great for NOT having a date, because who needs that drama, am i right?
its great for everyone.
so get tickets already!

New Years Eve 2011- The Top Chef Challenge
This year's Extravaganza is going to be one for the record books.
Does everyone else watch food based reality television as much as I do? Top Chef, Chopped, Iron Chef- love it. Maybe because I have no, seriously, NO talent in the kitchen... it gives me an overwhelming respect for those that do.
Open a box, theres an octopus, three avocados and a shoe lace- make a holiday meal in under 20 minutes.
I may lack the skill to be the one cooking up Octo-Guac and Shoe Lace Suvlaki- but I absolutely have the talent required to put those MORE talented to the test!
This year we selected a caterer that I knew would be up to any Mystery- Box style challenge I laid on him-
The objective? I want a meal that celebrates the idea that our NCT New Years Eve Extravaganza will be happening in 3 different cities across the country and represents each city in a delicious and appropriate way. I want many options for our guests so that they can sample each dish or hone in on one they love and eat their fill. I want a Vegan (and by default Vegetarian ) option. Oh, and I want it to be approachable to picky eaters.
What Ken Stewart came up with is a masterpiece that would surely melt padma lakshmi's face off.
Phoenix, San Diego and New York will each be represented by 2-3 classic dishes from that city including- and this is just a teaser- tastes of the sea shore and the south west, chicken and beef and sea food dishes and more!
Tickets are really going fast, make reservations today online!
And dont forget to call and request seating preferences!

Dreidel- I made you out of Laughter!
seriously, it really is THE most wonderful time of the year.
This weekend we're kicking it with the Ha Ha Hanukkah Shows- this is one of my favorite events of the year.
Why is this show so much fun and why will you love it, even if you have never celebrated Hanukkah?? an excellent question. You are bright and inquisitive!
For onesies-
we spin the dreidel for points! Will it be Gimmel or Shin? Thats right, the winning team might get all their points, none of their points, only half their points or- Shin happens, the winning team may have to actually GIVE their points to the other team! Hey man, thats the luck of the dreidel.
We're giving away 8 Crazy Tickets to lucky audience members
AND if you are lucky enough, you might catch the Latke game- where we risk our very lives and ingest too many fried potato delicacies for your amusement!
You dont want to miss this hilarity, and its going to be full- fun and fantastic! Get your tickets ASAP!

Warm it Up!
Warm Ups are an essential part of any improvisational undertaking. At NCT we are always growing and expanding our portfolio of warm up excercises to include new things and big challenges.
This Wednesday we were practicing a particularly difficult warm up game and one of our players had a lot more trouble with it than most.
It was an excellent opportunity to remind everyone that there should never be fear of failure- on stage or off. the only things one can not do are the things one is afraid to do. our mantra? if you're screwing up it means that, at least, you are trying!
There is no place for "Cool" in comedy.

Midnights, Spookiness and Auditions on the rise...
Midnight Shows are Back!
Thats right! The Midnight Show returns
Saturday October 1 at 11:45pm
Saturday October 29 at 11:45pm
Two opportunities to take in some top notch Longform improv comedy for only $10!
How is this show different from our weekly Competitive Comedy Shows? What's Longform? Why is the MIDNIGHT show at 11:45pm?
Good questions.
The Midnight Show differs from our weekly Competitive Comedy Shows because it is not competitive at all, but a collaborative effort between 6 hand picked players. There is also no Brown Bag Foul at the Midnight Show. Which means, although it isn't specifically "naughty"... the language isn't monitored. For that reason the show is limited to audiences 16 & older.
Longform improv, as featured in the Midnight Show, is basically... longer. With a 20- 30 minute comedy piece constructed around a single suggestion.
Why is it at 11:45?
Who knows! Its madness at the Midnight Show!
Get tickets online today for only $10!

Movie Mashterpiece Theater
This Thursday NCT is taking on another truly godawful film in the hopes of giving it life anew as something funny.
Join us at The Royale at 7:00 Thursday the 25th.
The Movie Mashterpiece Theater was the brainchild of Midnight Movie Mamacita and the team at NCT.
Its a little bit MST3K and a little bit Whose Line is it Anyway... but instead of adding our witty japes to the already horrible dialogue and bizarre soundtrack- we get rid of the whole thing.
the team from NCT will provide all new dialogue to go with a new story, complete with foley and soundtrack.
I have to say, ROBOWAR is going to be... just spectacular. The movie is a misguided cross between Predator, Robocop and a Discovery Channel Documentary about the beauty of jungle scenery. Im pretty sure the production crew spent all their money on fog machines.
Come this Thursday to see what Andi Oliver, Krissy Lenz, Dom Johnson, Allison Reese, Brendan McCay, Jared Cox and Zeke Hill can make of it- with sound effects and music provided live!
