If you’ve got a craving for some irreverent, adult-themed, live sketch comedy (and who doesn’t?), then you need a heaping helping of The Ministry of Unknown Science and their Experiment IV.
Consider this your official briefing:
This experiment sees the Ministry return to their original-recipe secret laboratory in downtown Los Angeles.†The show’s length has been expanded AND they’ve brought back the bad-ass brass band stylings of LA’s Infamous Critical Brass. This homegrown happening is something that you won’t want to miss.
And hey, what the hell, everyone gets a free beer!
Brewery-dwelling pallies, you might as well amble over: It’s in your backyard. I believe you get the top-secret directions via e-mail after you make a reservation (which is required, but does not require cash up front and is fully cancelable).
Friends of mine are founders of MOUS and the first show I saw featured giant underpants, so you really can’t lose. The show starts tomorrow and runs weekends through the 19th.
FANCY UPDATE: The Ministry was interviewed on KPCC’s Talk of the City yesterday (scroll down for the RealAudio link). There’s even a clip to whet your appetite. Mmmmm…clip.
My neighbors are fantastic. Their shows are always excellent.
Bronwyn, if you’re going, you should stop by a little early and we can grab a drink at the bar.
I’m tentatively planning for one of next weekend’s shows, and grabbing (and drinking) a drink sounds keen to me.
MOUS? Marsupials of Unusual Size? I don’t think they exist. WAAUGH!!!!!
