Hi Comics!
Hope this edition of the Rubber Chicken Gazette finds you all well & having a great summer. The fact that it's been so long since the last Chicken should tell you that it's been crazy around here at StandUp Academy & StandUp Productions. We have lots of shows going on at the Ice House Main Room & Flappers Main Room (email us for spots)! And the new classes are showcasing at the Ice House Main Room Aug 21-23 (lineups below)!! We are also in the early planning stages of Year 2 of the Eagle Rock Comedy Festival and getting ready for next session's stand-up & improv/sketch workshops at the Ice House starting Sept 10.

Lots of stuff below. Enjoy the Rubber Chicken. Hope to see you all soon at the grad shows and/or in one of our shows or workshops! Love, Bobbie

So, here's the new Rubber Chicken Gazette! Check out what we've been up to and what we have coming up. And don't be a stranger! We are always looking for comics for our shows (Sundays at the Ice House Main Room and Tuesdays at Flappers Main Room), producers, and just friends to come party with us! Hope you all have a safe and happy holiday season! Love, Bobbie
