Retro Vision with Shaun Landry

  • Curious Comedy Annex 5229 NE MLK BLVD Suite 102 Portland, OR 97211 (map)

Imagine watching episodes of your favorite 1950's sitcoms on stage, but with the wry commentary of today. Plus it's all based on your audience suggestions.

THE NANCY WHO?
Detective brothers, The Nancy Boys (Nick and Justin Condon), are back on the case! This time they're taking on Curious Comedy's Annex to solve another improvised mystery! What cryptic crime or strange scandal will they uncover? That's up to you! Every performance is uniquely based on your suggestion.

Join the boys for a twisted send up of classic Americana! Think the Hardy Boys + Nancy Drew + Scooby Doo + the Ambiguously Gay Duo + all of the characters performed by only two actors. This show is campy enough to roast your hotdog in! (Please refrain from bringing uncooked hotdogs to the show - food safety laws prohibit it.)

WILL THERE BE FOOD AND DRINKS?
You betcha!

CAN WE BRING THE KIDS?
We like to stay improv is for everyone, but keep in mind there will be innuendo and could be adult situations/themes. So maybe get a babysitter this time around, or don't and have some good conversations after the show.
