THINK TANK HOSTS THE BLACKOUT DIARIES WITH DREW FREES!! AND IT'S CAPPY'S BIRTHDAY!!!

Inline image 1

Greetings from Think Tank Comedy!! Just a quick note to let you know that we are hosting the critically acclaimed Blackout Diaries this Saturday at the High Hat Lounge in Chicago  at 8pm. The Blackout Diaries is a show where regular folks and comedians get up and tell ludicrous drinking stories with photographic and video evidence to back it up. This show happens to fall on Kevin "Cappy" Carroll's birthday (which, let's be honest, we could do an entire Blackout Diaries show on previous Cappy birthday escapades...and maybe we will?!?). We are also excited that Drew Frees will be joining us for this madness. This will be his last show in Chicago before departing for the high seas as the stand up on a Second City cruise. It's going to be a night of good ol fashioned Think Tank over the top silliness and then some. CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS!!! Be sure to select the Jan. 24th show. Tickets will also be available at the door. The show will start on time, 8pm prompt.

Here's the skinny:

Sick Day is Coming!!!

Hey guys! Just some odds and ends to get you caught up...we're still hard at work on the Sick Day Crawfordsville episode. The locations shots are all done, and we are currently in the process of casting and shooting the studio segments. We don't have any live shows on the books, but we'll be popping up soon. Also, Paul got married! It was one of the most epic nights in our history, as we all celebrated with our friends on the rooftop deck at Navy Pier late into the night. We'll see you soon!

THIS SATURDAY!!! THE BEST VALENTINE'S DAY SHOW IN WORLD HISTORY!!!

Inline image 2

That's right, it's a Valentine's Day show for the ages at the historic Park West Theater, this Saturday, Feb. 15th!!! THIS IS BY FAR, THE BIGGEST SHOW WE'VE EVER DONE, and will only be bigger with YOU there. The fabulous Puterbaugh Sisters are hosting the extravaganza that will feature comedy, live music, and a lot of surprises throughout the night. Think Tank will be debuting new material, and pulling from our archives to provide a show all about LOVE (or as much as a bunny seducing a penguin can be about love).

The evening will also feature comedy from Chad BriggsDrew FreesPlatcow & Friends, and much more (can you say Tom Jones impersonator? We thought you could!). After nearly a 2 hour comedy set, we have music from White Noise, and the legendary guitarist Louis Zagoras with his band Rollover. The entertainment starts at 7:30 SHARP with the comedy coming first, so get there early, and stay there late! Doors open at 6:30pm and seating is general admission. This will be an action packed night and it will keep going until midnight (and maybe beyond!). Tickets to "More Bang for Your Buck Valentine's Variety Show" are a way better gift than an editable arrangements bouquet or a weekend getaway at Sybaris. So CLICK HERE NOW to order tickets! You can also avoid service fees by purchasing tix at the Park West box office or the Vic Theater box office. Don't lose your girlfriend, husband, boyfriend, or wives this year by not taking them to this show!

Think Tank at Chicago Sketchfest


Think Tank will be bringing our antics to the Chicago Sketch Comedy Festival Stage, this Saturday, Jan. 11th at 7pm. This is our 7th (!?!) year doing this fest, and it is always one of our biggest, most fun shows of the year. You can buy tickets HERE. You can avoid service fees by picking up tickets at the theater, or by simply calling and ordering 773-327-5252. After the show, we have set up a deal at Trader Todd's for $3 drafts. We will be heading there for the second half of the Colts/Patriots game. Paul (a Patriots fan) and Brent (a Colts fan) may hate each other while the game is on, but rest assured, their friendship will remain intact afterward. Hope to see you there!

Think Tank performing live at LA Comedy Fest

We're loading up the wagon and heading out to LA for the 14th edition of the LA Comedy Fest in just a few weeks! If you're in the LA area or plan to be on Saturday November 23rd, come check out our show. There will be a mix of new and classic Tank material as we perform in the land of beach bros and Hollywood nights for the first time. We're very excited to be jumping back onstage after focusing on video production for the last few months. Stay tuned to this site and our facebook page for details about a pre-festival send off show and party in Chicago. Still ironing out the details but we'll likely be returning to a familiar venue, with familiar PBRs, and some pretty good familiar characters. 

Full details including a link for tickets can be found below. If you need to quench your thirst for silliness in the meantime, go slurp down a couple pints of Tank videos on our youtube page.
