ONE MONTH ON: VGG NEWS ROUNDUP
So what's happened since last we talked?
*We've been hard at work practicing, memorizing, and
preparing the props. The result? See for yourself
January 23 and 28. (Read on for more details.) Or, if
you like, read
<http://www.calendarlive.com/E/E/LAXCA/0002/29/86/>,
the terse listing we got from Calendar Live!, the L.A.
Times' online listings jernt.
*During practice a couple of weeks ago, we invented a
new sport, Inflatable Chairball. Read all about it at
<http://www.vgg.com/vgg/newsmain.html>. If our bribe
comes through OK, you can even look for it in the Salt
Lake Olympics.
*Our Web site, especially Furniture Porn
<http://www.vgg.com/vgg/FurnPorn.html>, is booming.
Over four days around New Year's, more than 3,000
people viewed it. Pretty good for a buncha snot-nosed
kids from N.C., huh?
===
JANUARY SHOWS ALMOST HERE
The lines have been memorized (kinda), the sketches
have been blocked out (sorta), and the Van Gogh-Goghs
are ready (almost) to raise the figurative curtain on
"Comedy 101: Sketch Comedy for Non Majors," our new,
education-related show. We're talkin' classroom humor,
schoolyard baseball, punch-drunk guidance counselors,
evil spirits from beyond the grave -- you know, SCHOOL!
Plus, "Comedy 101" includes plenty of the one thing
everyone loves: free crap to take home.
We've scheduled two performances of "Comedy 101," so we
hope to see you at one of the shows. Hint hint. OK,
screw hints, attendance is mandatory.

OTHER UPCOMING PERFORMANCES
We're working on getting more L.A.-area shows, and we
may just be going to Austin, Tex., for the Big Stinkin'
International Improv and Sketch Comedy Festival in
April. Check <http://www.vgg.com/vgg/newsindex.html>
for the scoop.
===
NEW WEB SPONSOR
The Van Gogh-Goghs picked up a new sponsor for our Web
site. It's a little restaurant that is poised to cause
a real taste revolution. Check it out at
<http://www.vgg.com/vgg/kfc/>.
===
SPECIAL COMEDY DEAL
If there's one thing that all Van Gogh-Goghs fans love,
it's pornography. Really, really dirty, filthy,
borderline illegal, embarassingly titillating
pornography. And to afford all that filth, you need to
save your bucks. That's why we've arranged for a
super-special money-saving coupon. Clip it, use it, and
save (the centerfold for us)!
========================
REDEEM ME, BABY!
This here section of THE THEO REPORT is good
for two bucks off the January 28 Van Gogh-Gogh
show at the Theatre at the Improv. That's a
full evening of comedy for just eight bucks!
Just bring it to the door and we'll take it
from there.
Limit one per person. Void where prohibited.
Use no hooks.
========================
DONE AND DONE
Thanks for reading to the end. We love you for it. Send
any comments to thevggs@vgg.com. See you next month.
