The Crisman Show Now Live from Deep Ellum

(DALLAS, Monday, April 2, 2012) – The Crisman Show – the disruptive, high-heeled hybrid of Conan and Soul Train – will now manifest in an intimate studio setting live from Dallas’ Deep Ellum. The cult program will broadcast online twice a month as Sunday Funday live streams, podcasts on iTunes, and will be available online for digital syndication and viral bliss.  Each episode will feature live performances of the brightest stand up comics and musicians emerging on the scene today.

The studio in which this live extravaganza will take place is located at 2815 Main Street in Deep Ellum, Dallas. Tickets can now be purchased for the first two shows via Prekindle.

Sunday, May 6
Special Guests:
IvorY JeaN and Josh Johnson
Doors at 3, Showtime at 4 PM
Sunday, May 20
Special Guests:
Mary Walker and Chris Darden
Doors at 3, Showtime at 4 PM

The show will open on a diverse gathering of friends collected in a Dallas recording studio. The usual suspects of musicians, comedians, producers and close fans are about, enjoying a chill Sunday afternoon in the lab. The vibe reminiscent of Hugh Hefner’s 1962 program, Playboy’s Penthouse, in which Hef swanned about his Chicago mansion with Lenny Bruce and jazz musicians.

The audience will hear keys playing in the recording room, the pianist varying episodically. Our warm-up comedian will welcome guests and explain the mingling chat show ahead. He then introduces the pianist who begins to play his or her own rendition of “The Crisman Show” theme song, originally composed by Graham Richards.

Sarah Crisman is introduced and pops up somewhere in the studio with wireless microphone in hand, thusly descending into a mingling monologue.

The audience next finds Sarah at the piano for an Off the Bench interview with the guest on keys. Once all the funny is drained out of the piano man, Sarah welcomes a stand up comedian to burst forth into comedy in some awkward corner of the party. After several minutes of torturous hilarity, the comic joins Sarah at the bar for a post-mortem panel with a third Friend of the Show.

At last, the attention returns to the recording studio where an entire band has collected for twenty blessed minutes of a silent Sarah Crisman. After the set, band members decompress in the sound booth for a nearly painless interview. the close of the show will follow and all will carry on into the night.
