Brand new show up THIS WEEK! http://robberbaronscomedy.com/blog/2010/03/01/robber-barons-olympic-athletes-brand-new-show-up-this-week/ http://robberbaronscomedy.com/blog/2010/03/01/robber-barons-olympic-athletes-brand-new-show-up-this-week/#comments Mon, 01 Mar 2010 09:21:31 +0000 admin http://robberbaronscomedy.com/?p=215 Hello potential spectator,

We, the Stanford Robber Barons, are celebrating our second birthday with our seventh all-new sketch comedy show, Robber Barons: Olympic Athletes. The comedy is pure gold, and after watching us perform, we’re sure we’ll at the very least place in your hearts. Does this last sentence not [Olympic] ring[s] true? Feel free to torch a building in protest. We suggest one of the international houses, or perhaps Escondido [Olympic] Village. We’ve shown a lot of promise at previous outings at the Laugh Factory and our recent San Francisco SketchFest exhibition, and we’ve been training all Winter quarter for the big event. In the comedy world, we’re proud to represent ourselves, to represent Stanford, and, most of all, to represent America. USA! USA! USA!

For the first time ever, you can reserve your seats in advance–make sure that you have a spot! We’ve sold out before, and we could well do it again.

Here’s a poster:

Just check out the list of people that have been in Sketchfest in the past–pretty impressive.
