COMEDY CLINIC SETS SEASON FINALE AT JEWEL, APRIL 25th

Your last chance to laugh until next fall with Tulsa’s Comedy Troupe, The Comedy Clinic, will be April 25th, 2009, at Jewel (3340 S. Peoria) as the Medics of Madness close out their seventh season of hilarity. Season finale show time is 8pm, doors open at 7pm.

Brookside’s Physicians of Fun, also known as local improv veterans Ben Beckham, Maria Gus and Jeff Turner , will continue to break out fan favorite improv games as well as the newly introduced games this season, all of which include audience participation. Their magical on stage chemistry and local brand of improvisational comedy has dubbed them Tulsa’s own version of Whose Line Is It Anyway?

New improv games received enthusiastic approval from recent energetic audiences, like the packed Jewel crowd in February. Comedy Clinic player Ben Beckham says sprinkling in new games keeps it fresh for not just the audience, but for the players, too.

“Part of the fun is challenging yourself and if you don’t do that, you lose the edge,” according to Beckham. “Take Jeff for instance, we challenged him to go streaking before the last show and he was great! It wasn’t pretty, though. It never is. ”

All joking aside (until April 25th, that is), The Comedy Clinic not only saw the addition of fun, new games to play with fans, but the return to their original home at 3340 S. Peoria (then called Suede).

“We were ecstatic when the renovations for Jewel were complete and they asked us back,” said Turner.

Gus was also excited to return to Brookside for season seven.

“There were so many great people and fun places between Suede and Jewel for us, but Brookside is home and Jewel has been so great to us,” Gus said. “Can’t wait until season eight!”

But before season eight can start, The Comedy Clinic will close out season seven at home on April 25th at 8pm and you are invited to come over and play.

Advance tickets are $9 or $10 at the door. Advance tickets must be purchased by Friday, April 24th, 2009. Tickets are available for purchase online, as well, with Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. For individual or group ticket information, call (918) 928-7161, email info@thecomedyclinic.com or visit www.thecomedyclinic.com. The Comedy Clinic is available for private bookings, interviews and private consultations by calling the same number.
