My son has performed in improv comedy for years now in Washington and he and a buddy have recently started a podcast highlighting DC comedians and giving news about upcoming comedy happenings. I just finished the logo for them, below. (If you want to listen, it’s on SoundCloud, under dccouchcast – I recommend Episode 4, an interview, with Topher Bellavia).
My son performs with several improv comedy groups in DC, one of which is King Bee. Here’s the logo I drew for them, cleaned up from the sketch. I kinda thought they’d go for the insect with the attitude.
King Bee is one of the House Teams at the Washington Improv Theater, a terrific venue for comedy in the capital. I’ve seen a number of shows at WIT with my husband and they are invariably creative, lightning-paced and hilarious. They really do base a large number of the improvisations on words or stories suggested on the fly by the audience, and uncannily weave them into weirdly logical scenes of preposterosity. (And they are, happily, largely politics-free — surprising for DC, but then I guess the actors all get enough of that at their day jobs.)
I’m creating a logo for an improv comedy group, never done that before. I’m expecting a lot of funny suggestions from the members when they see the sketches.
My son does improv in DC – made him this (thru Vistaprint, satisfied with result) for Christmas. That’s a closeup of him far right.
