Instant Christmas, Comedy Improv

The Reasonably Priced Babies are bringing their comedy improvisation to the Arts Center for two nights only on December 18 and 19 at 7:30pm. Tickets for the shows are $15 plus tax and can be purchased at online at www.BlackMountainArts.org or by calling 828-669-0930.

A typical comedy improv show has the performers satisfying suggestions from the audience based on a series of formats such as Next!, Movie dubbing, Forward & Reverse, The Carolers, Holiday Dating Game and many more.

Reasonably Priced Babies are Josh Batenhorst, who works by day at ArtSpace Charter School and by night may be directing a local show around town; then the busiest man in Asheville Show Business, Tom Chalmers, who is constantly on stage for one reason or another and hosts a storytelling show Listen to This every month at Asheville Community Theater; and local Black Mountaineers and married couple Mondy Carter and Karen Stobbe, who have been featured on NPR's This American Life and were speakers at a TEDMED Conference in November about the parallels of improvisation and Alzheimer's. And of course last but not least the multi-talented musician Aaron Price who will be providing music for the whole show.

"We perform attention deficit entertainment," says Mondy Carter. "It's fast paced, fun and easy to dance towait cut that last part. And the show is usually PG13 or higher, although most of the time not due to us but the suggestions from the audience."
