GIT Improv Comedy! at Broadway Deli & Lounge
GIT Improv Comedy! at Broadway Deli & Lounge

They were on the boards in August. The crowd was small, but everyone and I mean everyone had a blast. Those in attendance, the performers, even the staff had a great time!!

We have found the reference that best resonates with people to help them get an idea of what to expect with GIT Improv is to think of the long running television comedy show "Who's Line Is It Anyway?" AND we are so thrilled to give you another opportunity to come see them on Friday 9/17!! 

GIT Improv are an elite traveling improv comedy troupe based out of the Quad Cities who present hilarious and unforgettable shows by combining wit, intelligence, humor and 20 years of experience. 

They have opened for and/or performed with Weird Al Yankovic (UHF), Norm MacDonald (Saturday Night Live), Howie Mandel (Deal Or No Deal, America’s Got Talent), Darrell Hammond (Saturday Night Live), Sinbad (House Guest), Brad Sherwood (Who’s Line Is It Anyway), Tim Bedore (NPR, Bob and Tom), Jimmy Carrane (Improv Nerd) and many more! 

GIT Improv knows you're an attractive Mid-Westerner and you like your comedy one way, funny. They make funny funnier. Through jokes, storytelling, slapstick, characters and music they create a brand new show every time they perform. 

Audience suggestions and volunteers fuel the improv that will make you laugh and keep you smiling. They'll play a series of games that erases the thin line between genius and sheer stupidity. The show you are about to see has never been done like this before and it will never be done again, this is your night to be a part of something awesome. Be fun, be unique, be at GIT Improv at The Broadway Deli & Lounge on 9/17!

Admission is $15pp plus a 2 item minimum purchase (at least 1 food item) in the Broadway Lounge. When ordering your seats, MAKE SURE you indicate in the notes if you are joining anyone else so we can make sure to get your group at the same table(s)!

Seating begins at 6p with the show starting at 7:30p.

Once you are seated, wait staff will come to your tables to take your food, drink, and dessert orders!

The Broadway Lounge offers an amazing selection of Bread Bowl Soups & Pastas, Toasted Deli Sandwiches, Flatbreads, Salads, and Desserts. Check the menu out at BroadwayPeoria.com!

Art Reception at The Contemporary Art Center of Peoria
Art Reception at The Contemporary Art Center of Peoria

Art Reception: Saturday, September 18, 2021, 6:30 - 8:30 pm
free admission, donation requested 

Featuring art exhibitions in two galleries:

Faces and Forms: 
André Petty & Scott Mossman
Preston Jackson Gallery

The pop art portraits of local artist André Petty are paired with the post-minimalistic sculpture of Chicago artist Scott Mossman celebrating the exploration of gestural shape and extravagant color.

Pieced Together: 
Chris Dokolasa & Lori Reed
Gallery 3R

These long-time friends share the practice of redefining their chosen mediums. Multiple altered photo prints are hand cut in strips and reassembled by Reed to create a fresh scene with other elements pieced into the final layer. Dokolasa pushes her sculptural vessels to surprising combinations of pattern, texture and flowing forms.

Also featuring live music by acoustic duo 
Berchtold and Stear, who share a special musical chemistry on stage. Their music runs the gamut of San Francisco Folk of the late 60’s, to pre and post-war Piedmont and Delta blues, to their own acoustic interpretations of rock classics. Brian’s harmonica, mandolin, and porchboard bass playing (and occasional washboard) is the perfect complement to David’s acoustic finger picking. David Berchtold spent over 40 years diligently practicing his craft, blending his hard driving alternating-thumb playing style. 

The public is invited to this open house style event, featuring the exhibits described above. No food or drink will be offered. All typical safety protocols will be in place, including wearing masks at all times.

The Contemporary Art Center is open Tuesday-Saturday 11-5:00. The public is invited to these open house style events, art exhibitions and ticketed events. No food or drink will be offered. All typical safety protocols will be in place, including remaining 6 feet apart and wearing masks at all times.
