— The Siren Theater—

Bridge City Improv & Fake Radio team up for an incredible evening of improvised comedy.
Fake Radio: Old Time Radio Comedy Troupe has been re-creating Hollywood’s finest radio classics from the 40’s & 50’s… with a healthy dose of improvisation. On this night, the talented Fake Radio cast of LA & PDX comedians join BCI on the Siren stage with special guests John Pirruccello and J. Keith van Straaten.

John Pirruccello is an actor and improviser who lives in Los Angeles. He played the role of Nick Stavros alongside Helen Mirren in the TV movie Phil Spector, portrayed Deputy Chad Broxford on Showtime’s reboot of Twin Peaks, and currently plays the laughable Detective John Loach on HBO’s Barry.

J. Keith van Straaten has been called “a local hero” by LA Weekly and his improv resume boasts The Groundlings, Second City, UCB, Gotham City Improv, and ACME Comedy Theater. He hosted Comedy Central’s TV game show Beat The Geeks and LA landmarks The J. Keith van Straaten Show and What’s My Line? – Live On Stage. Television appearances include Curb Your Enthusiasm, Gilmore Girls, The Today Show, and has twice been recommended viewing by People magazine.
