Vote For RuBin for Best Comedy Duo! USA! USA!

Vote For RuBin for Best Comedy Duo! USA! USA!:

We started as a duo in October 2009. Little did we know that we would shake up the improv world like we have.

RuBin has been something that the two of us adore. We absolutely love performing with each other. We’ve been through a lot of good & bad - almost all of it good - and we wouldn’t trade a single thing for it.

If you’ve seen us perform in the last 2 1/2 years and you enjoyed watching us, please help us out & vote for us for “Best Comedy Duo”. Sure, we’re nominated alongside TJ & Dave (who are AMAZING!) but we never said we were gonna throw in the towel & tap out.

And thanks so much again to everyone that voted already & nominated us to get to where we are. From the bottom of our hearts, we really love you.

NOW VOTE FOR RuBIN! USA! USA!

“…this is something - this is my daily mantra - sometimes minute by minute mantra, which is love yourself. Learn to love yourself. And stay in this moment. This moment right here is where your power is. If you drift into the past or into the future, you lose your power and your ability to love yourself. So this moment right now, be kind and love yourself.”

RuBin Returns to the Magnet - This Monday!:

Holy kittens! We’re back at the Magnet!

Seriously, we are super stoked & thrilled to be playing at the Magnet Theater again this Monday night at 10pm! It’s going to be an amazing show as we’ll be performing 20-25 minutes of our brand of infectious fun.

Performing alongside us is another really funny duo, Upstate (Andrew Yurman-Glaser & Dustin Drury)!

We’ll be cute as a button in 2012! And then we’re gonna fuck your face…with even more adorableness!

(Our sincere apologies to anyone who actually wanted their face fucked.)

Major Web Updates! Twitter, Our Site, & A Mailing List?!?!?!

Wed, 28 Dec 2011 08:15:53 -0500

If you haven’t noticed, we’ve gotten pretty busy online in the last couple of days.

For starters, we’re finally on Twitter! Follow us on Twitter at RuBinComedy!

We’ve also made some massive overhauls on our site! Check out our new digs! It’s definitely a lot more nicer looking than before!

And finally, we’ve set up a mailing list! What took us so long to get that going, right? In any case, if you’re more than okay with getting emails from us once a month, then you should have no problem with subscribing onto our mailing list. Okay, now do it!

NOW!

We love you!
