Tall Mark joins us for Improv X Music at Cafe Deux Soleils on October 22

Impro Allegro is back at Cafe Deux Soleils on October 22 for a Musical Comedy Mashup! Our special guest this month is the talented Tall Mark!

Tall Mark

First there was Tiny Tim, then there was Weird Al, and now… Tall Mark! He walks the line; he pushes the envelope; he rhombuses the squares; he’s the bee’s knees; the cat’s pajamas; the chef’s surprise; the soup du jour; the best of both worlds (the Hannah Montana); the blessing in disguise; the best thing since sliced bread; he is rocket science! He’s a piece of cake; he’s a different kettle of fish; he’s a short story long; he’s Tall Mark!

Come learn more about the enigma that is Tall Mark! We’ll play some classic musical improv games, plus hear some Tall Mark parodies! Doors to Hot Improv Tuesdays at Cafe Deux Soleils are at 7:30 pm, show starts at 8 pm! Tickets are just $7 or $5 for students!
