What's Happening at The 'Winch.

WPSA's Jonathan Chase has just finished shooting a National commerical for Eclipse Gum in New York City.  Jonathan has also recently finished shooting an upcoming role on FOX's Oliver Beane.  Neither of these projects would probably support what we're doing, but congratulations to Jonathan!!!

Also, our Rasika Mathur will be performing all over the place this weekend.  First, she'll be performing at the Jim Coughlin Midnight Stand-Up Hour, Friday Night (Nov. 7) at Improv Olympic West (6366 Hollywood Blvd).  It's free.  Then Saturday at 8pm at Comedy Underground in Santa Monica (320 Wilshire Blvd.), it's not free.  5 bucks.  Then on Sunday night at 9pm, she's back at ImprovOlympic for Laura Kraft's Extravaganza.  Also 5 bucks.


11.5.03
WPSA's Eric Moneypenny will be performing stand-up at The Improv in Hollywood on Thursday, November 19th in the The Improv's Best of the New Faces Showcase.  However, please note that he will have the same face at this show that he's always had.  Yowser.  The show starts at 8:00pm.
