Terp2It/Chris Trew/Comedy

Lots more of these to come and I couldn’t be happier. Big thanks to the Hornets staff for the access and for Jonathan Evans for being such a badass director/editor/everything person.

A lot has happened in the past month. I filmed an episode of The Tommy Wi-Show. The Air Sex National Championships went down. I did a bunch of shows in Austin, Tx and one in Los Angeles. I was in a plane for a while. I had some meetings and I paid some bills. I wrote some Trew to the Game stuff. This post is me saying “hi” and I hope you’re doing really well, too.

I’ve always dreamed of putting on big badass comedy festivals and 2011 has been all about that. Our first one was in Austin this past April and this week New Orleans gets the comedy festival it deserves! I’ll let these amazing posters do the rest of the talking (speaking of, if you want to hire the people who made these let me know!).

I hope to see you out this week!

Approximately 6,000 incredible things went down at FunFunFun Fest this past weekend in Austin, Tx. It’s such a pleasure to be affiliated with what I consider to be (hands down) the best outdoor festival on the planet. They do so much and they pull it off masterfully. Here’s my attempt at recapping. (Shyla Ray from TNM Houston does an excellent recap on improvwins.com)

The TNM Dating Show was on Friday at 4:00p. It’s put on by TNM supergroup Handbomb (Vanessa Gonzalez hosts, Michael Foulk as Creepy Tranny voice and Alex Berry on the keys). I laughed harder than I’ve laughed in a long time. Everyone involved with this totally killed.

This picture of Mike Spara jumping off of my back and into Cyrus’ arms appeared in Paste Magazine which is pretty fun. I also got a shoutout in this Spin post.

Air Sex played to 300+ people on Saturday. Weinie Dodo finally won. I got to do standup on Sunday and host a Battle Rap Royal show (the world’s freshest new battle rap competition).

Tom Niland and myself got to host the Veggie Hotdog Eating Competition and I almost destroyed my vocal chords. I also got to get involved with several Anarchy Championship Wrestling matches.

Tons of photos on G-Su’s Facebook page. Tons more coming soon from Henry Linser’s super camera.

Some videos. Tons more on G-Su’s and Jesse’s channel.

Last month I was invited to speak at Tribecon. I got to talk about how improv can help you become a better collaborator, listener and overall a more badass human being. It was fun, people learned a lot and most importantly, we got to project our cool logo on a screen behind me. The event was amazing, well organized, fun, helpful and should be written down on your 2012 to-do list.

One of the folks who help make Tribecon go down is Molly O. who said this nice thing on a recap:

“One of my all-time favorite New Orleanians, Chris Trew, is a founder of The New Movement and an IMPROV MASTER. Not only is Chris hilarious, he’s a hustler and knows how to get things done. He presented at TribeCon on how a few basic improv comedy guidelines can transform brainstorming sessions and work environments.” I bolded, caps-locked and underlined the parts I thought were most interesting about Molly’s review.

I wouldn’t mind doing more stuff like this. Tech conferences, adventurous business team builder types, get at me! Someone from TNM will come to you and bring the funk.
