all the company calls
Tomorrow night (Thursday) I'll be performing with the Liquid Radio Players down at the ACME.
Liquid Radio is an improvised 1940s-style radio show, complete with live foley sound effects and a wonderful cast in swell vintage costumes.
Most of the comedy shows I do are decidedly not appropriate for children, but because Liquid Radio is set in the 1940s, the show is totally acceptable for teenagers, and middle-schoolers who can sit quietly through an entire show.
Details about the show and the cast are here. You can also buy tickets online.

that sounds like so much fun, good luck on CSI. Is it improv or from scripts that one would embelish?

Coincidently, I was reading yesterday's Straight Dope and it had a link (in it's discussion of the origin of the term "slapstick") to a web page which sells equipment used for movie and stage special effects.

One of these days, I'm going to fly out to LA specifically to catch you in a show at ACME. Movies, TV and books, while awesome in your case, aren't as kickass as seeing a good old fashioned improv show, live and in person!
Just try and stick with ACME for a few more years, OK? It'll probably take me that long to get out there...

Wil, the picture of you on the Liquid Radio site is even better than the many of you wearing THE SHIRT.
Yep, I included the R in shirt. Always got to remember to include that R.

Very cool. I've done that myself a few times, with a group here in Virginia. Well, something similar. We re-present actualy scripts of old shows. The last one I did was a trio of stories from Suspense, and Lights Out. I'm actually about start rehearsals for a comedy themed show (complete with rewrite of "Who's on First"... I'm sure it won't compare to Abbot & Costello). It will be the first time my wife and I will appear on a stage together.
Wish I could come see you, but I'm on the wrong coast.

Hey wil,
You DO look Wicked cool in that had! You should wear it forever!! I am so jealous of all the people that get to go to that show...i wanna be there too, but i think that flying across the atlantic is a little to far to go! but good luck with it, i know it'll go well!
on a different note, I bought Toy Soldiers on DVD the other day! It's by far and away one of my favourite movies, i can watch it over and over again! i love it! tee hee
take care wil,
have fun,
from
Rach

Speaking of improv, have you seen "http://www.improveverywhere.com/"?

Great bio, did you write that?

Think he looks good in the hat? You should see him in person with natty suit, sideburns and Sketchers (I think). Though I adore you, Wil, I've really not crushed on you all that much. Until Thursday. *growl* Now you'll always be Justin Thyme to me.
Funny, funny show, people. And Wil got off one of the best lines of the night, in a voice that sounded suspiciously English accented... Wrong building indeed.
(To explain, the villian was a reconstructive surgeon called Herbert Krusher [named by the audience - not me]. Draw what conclusions you will.)
