REVIEW FROM CLIFF KASDEN - QUEENS COURIER

"Killing Kompany kontinues komedy - by Cliff Kasden

 

No matter what challenges face us, it is our sense of humor that helps keep us strong. Just ask Jon Avner and his Killing Kompany comedy theatre troupe. Since the early 1990s, he and his revolving cast of characters-all professional actors– have entertained throughout the greater metropolitan area; In fact, anywhere they can get away with making you laugh!

 

Let’s go back to the scene of the crime. It’s Friday at Villa Umberto’s fine restaurant. They’re located near the city line at 90 Meacham Ave,Elmont. Must be close to 100 guests enjoying a great meal and a performance of “Murder by Reality TV; Redneck Rehab.” The actors are chatting with the guests at each table. They are dressed in costume and remain in character all evening.

There’s Doc Billy Bob (Bob Ader) eyeing the eggplant rollatini. That’s Doc Billy Ray (John Nelson) enjoying the Rigatoni a la Vodka while he flirts with the ladies. Why is rehab patient Billi Jo (Cindi Kostello) staggering over to the bar while the Caesar Salad is served? Of course Police Sergeant Michael Dorsey (Jon Avner) ad libs his questions and comments as he strolls from table to table.
A whistle blows! Did someone drop their knives and forks? There’s been a mishap and someone is to blame! The Sergeant questions the Docs and their surprisingly tipsy patient. He then calls witnesses to the center of the ballroom for good natured interrogation. After the comical questions there’s more dancing and more food.

Shots ring out between courses. Who could have done it and why? Well, there’s an evidence table nearby. Make your accusations by utilizing the documents in the center of your dinner table. A reward is in store for the best guesser.

It’s been a great evening for food, fun and mystery. The Killing Kompany has solved another case. Many of the guests have attended these shows previously and keep returning. My personal confession? I have reviewed ten, yes ten of Jon Avner’s comedy dinner programs since 1993. And that’s a fact!

For information on future programs or to enjoy a private event with family and friends call 888 SHOOT-EM or email them at killingkompany@killingkompany.com. There’s a website at www.killingkompany.com, or follow them on facebook and twitter.
As always, save me a seat on the aisle."

AND NEXT FRIDAY AT VILLA UMBERTO

A BLAST FROM THE PAST

Found this the other day cleaning out papers - a scene from a TV pilot starring Michael Rooker - which impressed my kids since they are fanatic about The Walking Dead and loved his character Merle Dixon. I don't know which shocked them more - how much younger I looked or how much younger Michael Rooker looked.

We have one special guest suspect but this is last call for Saturday's show at The Views At Mt. Fuji. Of course, we'll pick out a number of regular guest suspects too but if you want a special scene written about someone, get us the information now!

WANNA BE ON TV?

Here is another casting call for a reality TV show that was forwarded to me and I forward it to our audience:

"Hi All!

I'm working on a television show called My Grandmother's Ravioli, which is airing on the Cooking Channel. We're casting the second season and were hoping you would be able to get the word out about our casting to your community. The show is hosted by Mo Rocca and follows him as he meets grandparents around the country and learns their most beloved family recipes, history and stories.

We're looking for grandparents with vibrant personalities who also cook! I'm attaching a flyer here for you to pass out to anyone you think may be interested.
Narrowing Search for Grandparents:

• In NYC and surrounding area
• Of Greek, Asian, Indian, South American, or Middle Eastern Ethnicities (Any other ethnicities welcome, but we're still searching for grandparents to represent cuisine from these cultures)

To see a link and submit yourself for the show:
1. Go to www.mygrandmothersravioli.com.
2. Please note Kate Mack as reference when submitting application
3. Confirm with me so I can confirm we received your application


Hurry and submit by Friday, April 5. Thanks again for helping spread the word!

Best,
