Pork Filled Players celebrate Winter Spam*O*Rama

The Pork Filled Players, Seattle’s longest running sketch comedy group (and the Northwest's senior Asian American theatre group), leaps into the Year of the Rabbit with a brand new Spam*O*Rama, February 26, 8 pm, at the Jewel Box Theatre (2322 2nd Avenue, Seattle, WA).
Joining PFP as musical and comical co-conspirators are the dynamic comedy duo of Charles and songwriter/performer Melinda Parks, as PFP cooks up anew the bubbling blend of sketch comedy and music they’ve brewed in venues across Seattle, tackling the the Superior Asian Mom and How To Succeed in Business With A Facial Ornament.

Tickets are $10, and are online at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/144958.

Scientists, programmers and nerds by day…By night, they are the Pork Filled Players! Since 1997, the Pork Filled Players have waged a never-ending battle to unleash their funny bone for audiences of every race, creed and gender across the Northwest. Beneath their guises as mild-mannered engineers, journalists and office workers, the Players have honed their humor like a scalpel (or is it dull meat cleaver?) to whack away at notions of race, class and norms in 21st Century America. Adept at sketch comedy and traditional theatre, the Players are the Northwest’s longest running Asian American theatre, with humor to achieve maximum tongue-in-cheekiness, biting cultural/political satire and hilarious racial disharmony with Amazing Kung-Fu Grip(tm) zaniness.

The comedy duo of Charles, featuring Charlie Stockman and Chuck Armstrong, has been a staple of the sketch comedy in Seattle. Featuring intense cerebral humor (that borders on comedic arrogance), Charles has also been cracking them up in sketch comedy festivals from New York to Los Angeles and has just returned from the San Francisco Sketch Comedy Festival.

Melinda Parks is a brand new solo act that has charmed audiences at Annex Theatre’s 60 Seconds Max and Spin the Bottle. Featuring a wry, humorous take on life and music, Melinda utterly charmed the Players with her version of the Panda Song.

PFP gives special thanks to 4Culture’s Hotel Lodging Tax for its sustained support.
