Muffins in the Window - TONIGHT!
One of the earliest shows we’ve ever done was at Muffins in the Window in March 2010. Even though technically we had been together since October ‘09, we had a bit of a break in between & had trouble booking shows.
Then we saw this variety show open up (hosted by Stephen Michael Rondel & Molly Lloyd) & thought, “Well, why don’t we try this? It’s a stage - it’s an opportunity!” And it was so much fun!
Well we’re back tonight, 8pm at Muffins in the Window at the New Acting Company Theater (219 Sullivan Street between West 3rd and Bleecker St.) to rock this show! This show will bring nothing but the same usual awesomeness. Here’s the lineup of performers tonight:
VILOET UPRISING
JAY WELCH
RUBIN (that’s US!)
KIRKDIFY
DANGER PIN
SARA LYONS
A Video by DAVID HEILMAN
And the New York Premiere of Gula Delgato’s “Whiskey Trail”
Did we mention it’s FREE?!?
Come on by tonight & say hi!
This is it! The final part of our whole story of our trip to Toronto! We meet Moniquea, Colin & her cat! We have our show at the Comedy Bar that night! Do we care that it’s good or bad because of the 12 hour trip?
Of course we do - we’re sensitive!
That said, we’d like to give a big shout out to the following people because we love you:
- Moniquea Marion (who performed in our show that night) & her husband Colin (both wonderful people!)
- Adrianne Gagnon, executive producer of the Toronto Improv Festival (really nice person who did a fantastic job with helping to organize this festival)
- Megan Gray (the greatest improv coach in the world of RuBin!)
- Rachel Hamilton (without her, RuBin does not exist)
- To all of our friends & family in this improv community that donated to our fundraisers to help get us to Toronto (thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou)
- And thank you to everyone that’s been so kind to us in these last 2 years to ask us to play your shows, to tell us how much you liked our shows, and to come play at our shows as well. We’re just amazingly grateful for all the support we’ve gotten from everyone in this community.
This trip meant a lot to us to get there, even if it is a 12 hour trip to perform a 25 minute show. But it was totally worth it. We would do it again in a heartbeat, except change the Megabus to either an Amtrak or Porter Air flight and if Binu remembered his passport.
We love you. Let’s keep this party going because this is too much fun!
Episode 6 of our trip to Toronto & the Toronto Improv Festival is up!
Paolo (the batshit loco Megabus driver) is talking to the dispatcher in Spanish about Ruby and wants Ruby off the bus! Plus at a rest stop in Syracuse, Binu recalls a private conversation that he has with the Megabus driver at a Subway food station where the driver tries to reason with Binu. Seriously?
Couples' Retreat - Fri. 8/19 @ the PIT!
* HODAPP & ROTHWELL (Dan Hodapp & Natasha Rothwell)
* GIRL, YOU’LL BE A WOMAN SOON (Chris O’Neil & Aston Hollins McClanahan)
* POU & NIC (Poupak Sepehri & Nicole C. Lee)

All happening at the Peoples’ Improv Theater (123 W. 24th Street bet. Park & Lexington Avenue)!
If you didn’t know, we’re getting ready for our musical improv debut this Friday night, 8pm at the basement of the Peoples’ Improv Theater (123 E. 24th Street bet. Park Ave. & Lexington Ave.)!
