JANUARY LINE-UP AND EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!!

Hey RUDE BROOD!

Before we get to the line-up, we have an exciting announcement!

In 2018, RUDE is looking for more opportunities to bring pitched shows into our line-up for longer runs. We LOVE all of the creative new ideas that have been brought into the RUDE room, and we would love to see more of them in a recurring format. Any show that has gone up before will be considered for a run if submitted again. For new shows, submit as normal! If you are interested in a run for a previous show, submit again and let us know!

Our FIRST show with a run is White-Out - a hilarious show where POCs do the whitest art form: improv!! White-Out will be up monthly on the third Tuesday of the month for the next few months.

Pitch ANY TIME for new and returning shows: http://www.rudecomedy.com/pitch

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out.

Now, onto the schedule!

This was originally a 2 minute video but none of it was good except these 6 seconds - if you watch this enough times it will melt your brain :)

11/21/2017

Alert: there is no RUDE tonight because of the holidays!

Regardless of what you celebrate this week or whether you celebrate at all, it's always a great time to give thanks. I'm extremely thankful for my fantastic, smart, and talented partner in RUDE-crime, Deanna Arthur, everyone at South 4th Bar for allowing us to use their amazing space (but an extra special shout out to Mark, Charlie, and Kim), our wacky bar regulars, and every one of our performers and audience members. Without all of you, Tuesday nights wouldn't be nearly as rude. Thanks for everything so far - I can't wait to see what's next.

With Love,
Ian

A Clarification of & Update to Our Show policies:

Tech:
You are responsible for the tech of your show! So if you have cues, make sure to bring a friend or cover it within your cast. Or, you can reach out to us for suggestions of techs who work for very competitive rates.

Show Starting Time Policy:
Your show is expected to start at the time it is scheduled. If the prior show ends less than 5 minutes before yours or goes over, you will have 5 minutes to get your show set up, and the extra time will be added to the end of your show. However, if you take longer than 5 minutes to get started, time will be subtracted from your slot so that we can stay close to schedule.

As a reminder, show slots are 25 mins and 50 mins (not 30 mins and 60 mins).

(Basically if your show is 9:00 - 9:25, and the show before it ended on time (8:55), but your cast isn’t all there and you don’t start until 9:15, I’m very sorry but you have 10 minutes :X )

We had a ton of amazing submissions and unfortunately we could not take everyone’s! If your show was not accepted, it was for one of three reasons.

1) Advantage goes to those who attend RUDE regularly. This is as an incentive to support the community and ALSO because if you’ve only been to RUDE once or twice (or never), we probably don’t know you well enough to make an informed decision about your submission. So come on out to a few more shows and make sure to introduce yourself!

2) Advantage goes to groups. In the interest of killing 2+ birds with one stone and giving everyone stage time, we are more likely to select submissions that have more people in the cast (or pre-booked).

3) Variety. We already have some recurring improv, variety, and sketch, shows, so it helps to have shows that push boundaries, plan to do interesting or unique marketing/PR, or try something new. FYI, we are currently looking for less improv and more narrative shows!

05/15/2017

Hello! June submissions close on Tuesday at 11:59PM! Just so you know!
