Heaven Gallery Screening Series Proudly Presents
The Experimental Comedy Video Show
Or the

“Superfuntasticexperimentalcomedyshortexplosion”

In the spirit of our experimental video series we thought that we would designate a night of experimental comedy videos. The artists in this show use experimental video technique and writing to produce pieces with a comedic edge. Post screening there will be a live performance by “Kill Comedy” a stand up comedy duo that aspires to perform live comedy but also to “kill” the standard stand up approach.
Video Screening & performance by Kill Comedy Saturday August 16th 2008 9pm $7 suggested donation.

Fresh from a four-day tour of St. Louis, MO., Kill Comedy is an anonymous standup duo in white sweat suits with “no jokes”. They present “a scientific study of the straight man/funny man dilemma”. “What is comedy?” they ask. Kill Comedy perform after the video screening.

Sell the Boat brings first-rate improvised comedy (at last!) to our neck of the woods with Chicago's best (honest!) improvisers from the iO, Annoyance, and Second City theaters with two shows in one night (yikes!). Closing out the 9:30 show will be The Reckoning, the most acclaimed improv ensemble in a decade and arguably the best group in existence. At 12:30 will begin the Special Brad Morris Late Show wherein Second City Main Stage star Morris beats it over to our little space to give us a sweet, sweet show. Dozens of dynamite performers at a cozier place and for far fewer dollars than you could ever see them elsewhere. Please come check out the finest practitioners of a truly Chicagoan art form.

Fred Lonberg-Holm/Jaimie Branch/Tony Buck

Born in Sydney in 1962, Tony is regarded as one of Australia's most creative and adventurous exports, with vast experience across the globe. He has been involved in a highly diverse array of projects. Apart from The Necks, he is probably best known as leader of hardcore/impro band PERIL.

Early in his musical life, after having graduated from the New South Wales Conservatorium of Music, he became very involved in the jazz scene in Australia, often touring with visiting international artists such as Vincent Herring, Clifford Jordan, Mickey Tucker, Branford Marsalis and Ernie Watts, as well as Australians Mark Simmonds, Paul Grabowsky, The catholics, Sandy Evans and Dale Barlow.

Following time spent in Japan, where he formed PERIL with Otomo Yoshihide and Kato Hideki, Tony moved to Europe, and has involved himself in many projects there, including the development of new "virtual" MIDI controllers at STEIM in Amsterdam.

Tony has played, toured or recorded with, among others, Jon Rose, Nicolas Collins, Tenko, John Zorn, Tom Cora, Phil Minton, Haino, Switchbox, The Machine for Making Sense, Ne Zhdall, The EX, Peter Brotzmann, Hans Reichel, The Little Red Spiders, Subrito Roy Chowdury, Clifford Jordan, Kletka Red, Han Bennink, Shelley Hirsch, Wayne Horvitz, Palinckx, and Ground Zero.

Chris Brokaw (Boston)

About the artists:

After 10 years of conventional classical music, AGATHE MAX started to improvise and develop a large range of different sounds with the accoustic violin. She's played with several bands, from pirate's performances with Arbrupt to gypsy blues folk music with Brown Recluse, with whom she did a US tour during the summer of 2005. At that time, she met the performer Rachel Rosenthal in her Los Angeles studio. She describes this as "the deepest human experience as an artistic point of view."

On her current project: "I've started this solo violin project in 2005 and since then i try to go further and further in this experiment that gives lots of possibilities."

She also does collaborations with Yoko Higashi (voices and effects) and actors, dancers (Juha Marsalo, Carolyn Carlson), videos (facteur prod)...
