Living up to its stated mission of helping to foster a thriving arts scene on the Coastside, Blue Blanket Improv (BBI) has been busy, busy, busy getting its laugh on. In addition to monthly shows at Enso Yoga Studio in Half Moon Bay, during the last couple of months, BBI has also polished the boards at the Coastal Repertory Theatre's 16th annual talent show and helped the First Congregational Church of Palo Alto raise money for their Adopt-A-Minefield sponsorship. Coming up, BBI is also looking forward to performing at the San Francisco Theater Festival and the Bach Dancing and Dynamite Society.

The buzz on BBI is really starting to ripple up and down the Coastside, from Pescadero to Pacifica. The last couple of shows have been well attended, and the audiences have been enthusiastic and inspiring. Ah good times.

But hey, if you missed any of these great performances, take heart -- BBI is out there, baby! On Saturday, May 10, we're putting on another local show at ENSO. So why not take the family, a date, or your buddies out to dinner and then swing by Enso for some quality, local entertainment. And it's improv, so who knows, you might even find yourself onstage before the night is over.

Things are really heating up for Blue Blanket Improv (BBI) this year. As part of BBI's ongoing effort to help develop a local entertainment scene on the coast, we have extended our monthly series of comedy improv shows at Enso Yoga Studio in Half Moon Bay through the end of 2008! And we've even moved our shows to Saturday nights. Saturday nights with the Coastside's own improvisational comedy theater troupe, what could be better? Check out our schedule of shows and then come check us out!

And as added incentive, BBI is going to make you a three-for-one deal. At the next show, pick up a Pay Three and Get One Free ticket. See three BBI shows and the fourth show is free. Or come with three friends and one of you gets in for nothing! Now come on, you can't beat that with a stick.

For years now, the Blue Blanket Improv (BBI) troupe has done our best to bring the San Francisco Bay Area it's badly needed shot of funny. So why not get off the couch and onto the BBI bandwagon? Read about our past shows, get your funny bone pumped up, and then join us in 2008 for some high-larity. Your sense of humor will thank you for it.
