Inception Trailer 3

Wow. I know the details of this movie have been closely guarded for a while now, but last week saw a little bit of the cat getting out of the bag in the form of a third trailer for the upcoming Inception.

Seems like Christopher Nolan can do no wrong at the moment, and this looks like another epic in the making. I'm a huge fan of the music as well... definitely looking forward to seeing this one in July!

North Carolina: Feels Like the First Time

Remember that song? Not the North Carolina part... the First Time part. Foreigner? Anyone? They had some good tunes, man... not that one in particular, but some other really good tunes. Look 'em up.

Anyway, we're all headed down to the Chapel Hill area for our first show since the Richmond festival in November. And while that would usually make me a little nervous, it almost feels more like a reunion show somehow, which is awesome. Like the world is brand new again and full of possibilities. Or something.

We'll be playing at the DSI Theater on Saturday night at 9:30 if anyone wants to drop in and check us out... I can promise we'll be having fun, which is usually contagious...

Thanks, Richmond!

We had a blast this weekend at the Richmond Improv Festival. The shows were great, the weather was awesome and Zach's team did a bang-up job putting it all together as always. We can't wait for next year... thanks, Richmond!

Saturday. Richmond. Be there.

Superbest heads back to River City as part of the second annual Richmond Improv Festival this Saturday night. We'll be playing in the very cool new CenterStage building downtown... if you're in the area (or up for a road trip), check us out.

Kill the Kindle and a Corporate Gig

Technology joke! Technology joke!

I love a good Office Space reference. And yeah; I'd imagine there's an old school that's not too happy about the new school in the literature deparment. 

Speaking of workplace parodies, Superbest has a corporate gig tonight. Which I suppose means we'll need to keep things clean?

Superbest at Source

Catch Superbest in action this Friday and next Friday (8.7 and 8.14) at 9:30 at Source as part of WIT's late-summer run. 

You should probably also come and see DC's Neutrino Video Project as part of the 8:00 lineup on Fridays and Saturdays... Brian is an actor and Mike and I shoot the shows. Click here for tickets and more information. 

Mystery Team Trailer

UCB's Derrick made the list over at Today's Big Thing this past Wednesday with the trailer for their upcoming independent release, Mystery Team.

These guys played the receSs gig with us back in May and they were pretty f-ing phenomenal. If their movie can capture half of the quickness and spontaneity of their live show, they could be set for even bigger things (pun).

Take a look at the trailer (and check out the movie when it hits theaters this fall!) and also keep an eye out for Trust Us, This is All Made Up, a documentary featuring Chicago's TJ & Dave that's currently looking for distribution...

Superbest at Improvapalooza

Catch us in action as part of WIT's annual improv marathon, Improvapalooza. Superbest will be doing a short show on Friday, July 31st at Source (probably at around 10:30), but you owe it to yourself to check out the rest of the shows in the lineup as well (including the instant-movie phenomenon, DC's Neutrino Video Project, which features all three of us).

Tickets on sale here shortly...

LEGO Rock Band? Really?

Thanks to our friend Sarah for sending this link after our last LEGO-themed show (LEGO Indiana Jones, to be specific). We were laughing about totally inappropriate movies and shows that the LEGO games could make versions of (LEGO Cannonball Run, for example), and Sarah found it funny that they've already got a version of Rock Band in the works.

Really? LEGO Rock Band? Does that add anything to the existing version of Rock Band that anyone thought was somehow missing? Thanks again, Sarah!

Superbest. Flashpoint. Saturday.

This Saturday, catch Superbest with WIT's Jackie at Flashpoint in downtown DC. The show starts at 8, and tix are $15 here...

See These Three Jackasses at GW

This Friday night, Superbest will be headlining the Slate Festival at George Washington University in DC.

Hosted by resident improv troupe receSs, Superbest will take the stage as part of the 10pm lineup with WIT's onesixtyone and Anant Nag. Tickets are available at the door.

The show is a bit of a homecoming of sorts, as Brian was a member of receSs way back when. What does that mean to you? Why should you care? Because it means Brian will be fired up and bringing his A Game. That's why.

What the Hell is Brian Doing??

Good question, right? If you want to find out, come and see WITFilms' latest 48 Hour Film Project this Thursday night at the AFI Silver Theater in Silver Spring MD.

(A quick clue: the team drew Foreign Film as a genre.)

Holy Crap: Two Shows Online!

As part of our recent application to the Out Of Bounds improv festival, we needed to submit one of our previous shows electronically.

Turns out it was the best thing for us, as we finally had to get off of our collective ass and upload a couple of gigs to the interweb.

So after months of talking about it, here at long last is some video to look at. Check out our recent Street Fighter 4 performance at the Comedy Spot in Arlington along with our Tower Defense show from Flashpoint in late 2007. Crappy camera work aside, we hope you enjoy 'em... come back next week for the Katamari show from this year's NC Comedy Arts Festival.

Superbest at the Comedy Spot

Superbest will be back in action on Saturday April 11 as part of the 7:30 lineup of Desert Island Comedy shows. We'll be plugging in at the Comedy Spot in Arlington... click here to pick up your tickets now!

Thanks, North Carolina...

Good shows, good crowds, good food... thanks to Zach and his team for putting together another great festival. We've got some video from the show that we'll put online soon, and we're trying to get in touch with the photographer who was roaming around during our set for pics. Stay tuned!

Press and comments about the fest in general have been scarce so far, but we did get a quick interview and mention here... it's nice to know that our love for TimeOut is officially on the record now.

If anyone else comes across any post-show buzz, let us know about it!

It's The Final Countdown

...until Saturday's show. At what the kids used to call the Dirty South Improv Festival. We're part of a killer lineup, and all kinds of ready to hit the couch and get it on.

The pic above? That would be the band Europe, the vessel through which God delivered His Word in the form of The Final Countdown in 1986. You might act like you don't fucking love that song, but come on, dude... you know you do.

In case you need reminding, flashback to Stockholm. See you Saturday night.

Update: New Night for NCCAF

Superbest has been moved to a new time slot at this year's North Carolina Comedy Arts Fest, and will now be playing the ArtsCenter Main Stage along with the NCCAF All-Stars and Saturday Night Live's Bryan Tucker! Not too shabby, right?

So check and change your calendars; we've traded the DSI Comedy Theater on Friday for the ArtsCenter on Saturday. And are we happy about it? You bet your sweet little ass we are. See you in Carborro!

NCCAF Date Confirmed

Superbest will be playing the North Carolina Comedy Arts Festival on Friday February 20th at 7:30pm.

We'll be at the DSI Comedy Theater along with WIT's onesixtyone later that same night (...and making our way over to Tyler's Tap Room shortly after that). Tickets should be available on the festival website soon... see you there and then!

Just Announced: Superbest at the NCCAF

Superbest has been accepted to the 2009 North Carolina Comedy Arts Festival! We're pumped. The name may have changed, but last year's fest was a blast... we're already looking forward to TimeOut chicken and biscuits at 3AM. Tasty.

Look for the show in Carborro during the weekend of February 20-22, and stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks.
