NOVEMBER EDITION

8 YEARS TOGETHER • We’d like some bronze lace to wear as our anniversary gift, thank you. It’s the only way to look mechanical and sexy at the same time. It’s November which means our huge anniversary show. We have a new intro, at least one new game and some new characters to debut for you. As an added bonus: MIKE! Original Monkey Mike will be on stage with us. We’re squealingly excited! Mostly because we just totally made up a new word.

November 11 @ 7:30 PM – Avenue Theater, 417 E. 17th Avenue (between Logan & Penn), Denver. All part of the Wednesday Night Comedy Series that includes Mile Hi-Larity, The Rodents Of Unusual Size, The Wigs and The R.I.P. Each show is only $10 a person.

VALUE PACKS FOR IMPROV SHOWS • Needing to save money? The Avenue has a deal for you. In fact, there are two of them:

Wednesday Laugh Pack
Every Laugh Pack contains a ticket for admission to
four different Wednesday comedy groups.
At only $30, you save 25% off the regular admission price.

FUNNY SHIRTS IN OUR STORE • There are two new funny designs in our online store. Over the next several weeks we’ll continue to roll out a design based on each of the Monkeys. Shari’s “I was told there would be no math” and Larry’s “I’m not gay. I just love musicals” are currently available. Each comes in a variety of t-shirts and Larry’s is even on coffee mugs. Check out our store on Cafe Press. Designs by Dustin J. Craig.

Monkey’s Uncle has now joined the Avenue Theater family of performers and we couldn’t be more excited. Starting on September 9th, we will be performing on the 2nd Wednesday of each month.

This move will allow us to perform in a theater-style space again with a group that is Denver renowned for comedy — Chicken Lips. Bob & Dave have been doing this for years and we are honored they have opened their arms to the Monkeys. Tickets will now be $10; however, you can park for free around the theater area and while we encourage you to partake of the concession stand, there is no minimum to do so. Yes, they serve alcohol.

With that said, we cordially invite you to our Avenue Debutante Ball. No need to dress up for the occasion unless you just happen to have a tux or bustier laying about. We’ll be dressed up in our new casual shirts though, so there’s a reason to attend.

Mark you calendar with a recurring event: Second Wednesday of the month, 7:30 PM, Avenue Theater, 417 E. 17th Avenue (between Logan & Penn), Denver. All part of the Wednesday Night Comedy Series that includes Mile Hi-Larity, The Rodents Of Unusual Size and The Wigs. Each show is only $10 a person.

Oh, boy, have we got a line up for you. Starting this Wednesday, you can support Smile Train through a series of three shows (listed below). The Monkeys will be helping out on Wednesday. The purpose is to raise money for surgeries for kids with cleft palates and lips in an attempt to give them a more normal life. It’s a great cause and Heather of the Rodents of Unusual Size (and her lovely assistant, Steve) have put together three whiz-bang shows. You will also find a donation link below if you can’t attend.

And speaking of Heather, she will be joining us for your regularly scheduled show on July 20. Yes, that means we’ve moved back to the third Monday of the month — please make a note of it. Heather is absolutely hilarious and will be using us as a cathartic measure after planning three benefit shows. The show starts at 7:30 as usual.

We started a Facebook page, too! Be a fan!

We made up. In fact the make up session was so fun, we might break up again next month. Be sure to stop by tomorrow to see our special guest, the talented, Denver-based, stand-up sensation, Stephanie McHugh. We love her and we demand that you do as well or we will make you Paris Hilton’s BFF.

We started a Facebook page, too! Be a fan!

We have an extra special guest this month! Matthew Taylor of A.C.E. comedy (he’s the ‘E’) will be joining us, so for the second time in our career we don’t have to fake a British accent — Matthew will be playing on the English Isle parts. The last time we had him as a guest we ended up having one of the best shows we’ve ever had, so no pressure there. See details below to come see Matthew do some reading of his stories as well!

7th Anniversary Show: Make sure you put this one down in your calendar. We’ve got some new, big things planned for our annual celebration. It’s the 7-year itch so we may be breaking up at the end of the show in an overblown soap opera kind of way. It could happen! It’s November 10th and don’t forget that we will be performing the second Monday of the month from November on. Oops, we just gave away the ending.

Rodent Halloween: In case you need more improv, The Rodents Of Unusual Size are having their monthly show on October 29th this time around for a spookily funny show. It all takes place at The Avenue Theater.

In honor of a certain Monkey no longer having lymphoma, we are having yet another benefit. This one will be a little smaller though. We’re taking all the money we make and donating it to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Light The Night Walk. Our team, The Lymphonades, will be walking on September 25 to help raise money for this great organization which helped Howard with some of his medical bills. So come see us tomorrow night or donate online if you’d like at:

Lots to talk about this issue so tuck in!

Newer Logo: You may have noticed it up top? We had some issues with the clipart companies’ “logo-making” policies, so we needed to change it a bit. The Monkey was illustrated by a guy named Dusty who donated his time. What a guy! We’re very happy with it as it allows us to moon everyone who comes to the site or reads the newsletter.

Whored-up Monkey Store: Because we know that you simply can’t resist the logo, we’ve updated our Cafe Press store (http://www.cafepress.com/mucomedy) with tons of products and placed the new logo on them. Even the Joke Opener shirt has been updated to include Shari — she’s the Blonde. Go ahead. Get yourself something pretty.
