--The "Kings" have moved venue, over to the Playground Tuesday nights for the duration of March and all of April. Catch them before troupe member and Bastion contributor Mackenzie Condon moves back to NYC to continue her studies. Boooo!!

--Tonight and tomorrow will be the premiere screening of the new video series, Dis-Lodged, over at the Lincoln Lodge. The inaugural film features Sean Flannery and his night of carousing that we joined in on a little while ago. We hear we even make a cameo appearance. Eep!

--The second night of the Edge Comedy Contest is tomorrow, 10:30 p.m. at Kitty Moon. There are still plenty o' slots available to get fame and riches!

--This week, we were lucky enough to get invited to the midterm performance of Witch City, an improv troupe out of Columbia College. Spotted in the crowd was Sheldon Patinkin, one of the founders of Second City and current chair of the Theatre Department at Columbia, and Sketchfest producer Brian Posen. The troupe's final will be at Donny's Skybox May 7, and we're stoked. If their midterm is any indication, their final will be riotous. We give A+s all around!

--Pablo Francisco, Damon Wayans, and Dave Chappelle's favorite target of Rick James beatdowns Charlie Murphy are heading to the Improv in the next few weeks.

--Time Out reported that the gals of the sketch group Ragdolls enjoyed their time in Aspen at the US Comedy Arts Festival, mixing comedy with a few slippery runs down the slopes. Wish we could have been there. Maybe next year?
