Internet Sensation Delivers Laughs, Hits, and Blue Popcorn Balls Will Screen at the Los Angeles Comedy Festival, November 3rd
LOS ANGELES, CA–(Marketwire – 10/26/10) – YouTube has brought us dancing guinea pigs, drunken rants and karate-kicking babies. And now it’s given us another phenomenon, The Dick and Jane Show. Since its debut episode, which averaged around 85,000 hits, this quirky comedy has quickly gained a cult following of the adventures of a husband and wife in an idealized suburban 1960s. And with eight episodes already under its belt, The Dick and Jane Show has proved it’s no flash in the web with the launch of the second season on November 2nd, with new episodes every three weeks.
The first Friday Night Salon at The Acting Center was a smash! Monologues, songs and improv were the fare at The Acting Center Theater. A salon is an informal assemblage of artists who come together to perform.
The Salons will continue each Friday through the 20th of August. Come join us!
We are proud of our improv teacher’s success with the Honorable Mention winning commercial for GoDaddy.com. Check out this funny commercial with a very funny man, Tait Ruppert!

This past weekend, The Acting Center and staff were delighted to have a booth at our first Showbiz Expo. We met a lot of great actors and creative people of all kinds—writers, casting agents, directors, producers and more. It was a fun experience made even more entertaining by an impromptu performance by our own Jim Meskimen & Tait Ruppert, who improvised some songs at our booth. Check out their funny video and we will see you at ActorFest in the fall.
