Richmond Comedy Coalition & The Guys Who Brought You The Taint Team Up For Richmond Famous

by | May 19, 2011 | POLITICS

Friday, MAY 27th: RICHMOND FAMOUS – The Richmond Comedy Coalition is teaming up with local personalities to present their all-improvised monthly show series.
It’s live and totally unscripted comedy created on the spot based on true stories from RVA’s most interesting people.
The improvisers will be hearing their guests’ stories for the first time onstage. What unfolds afterwards is as much a mystery to them as it is to you. All the characters, all the scenes, it’s all made up as they go along, creating a show so funny you’d swear it was scripted (but you know it’s not.)
This month, they welcome directors of THE TAINT, Drew Bolduc and Dan Nelson to the Gallery5 stage.

This month, they welcome directors of THE TAINT, Drew Bolduc and Dan Nelson to the Gallery5 stage.

Filmed in Richmond, THE TAINT is Drew and Dan’s low-budget horror phenomenon that’s been winning awards at indie film festivals across the country for its over-the-top blood, body parts, and gore. It’s a future cult masterpiece that RVA can be proud (ahsamed? chagrinned?) to call its own. What will these two twisted minds come up with when the cameras stop rolling and they’re put in front of a live audience?

Gallery 5 (200 W. Marshall St.)
