Pork Filled Players present PORK FICTION (Apr10)

Heroes! Villains! Good guys! Bad Guys! Gods! Demons! And the fans who love them!
The Pork Filled Players, in association with the Theatre Off Jackson, presents Pork Fiction, a new sketch comedy show inspired by the action packed pulps of yesteryear, running at the Theatre Off Jackson (409 7th Ave. S., Seattle), April 30 to May 15 (Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm).

Covering everything from Trekkies to political tea bagger conventions, Pork Fiction celebrates fanatics and the pulp stories they love. And, since PFP has the most female writers and performers of any sketch group in the Northwest (writing the vast majority of the show), we ain't talking just testosterone fantasies–plenty of girl power, too!

Joining the Players are the local sketch comedy teams of Charles (April 30 and May 1) and Killer Donut (May 7 and 8) as well as the international sensation of Assaulted Fish, from Vancouver, BC (May 14 and 15). As a special bonus, winners from the University of Washington’s Asian Students Commission 2010 Talent Show will also appear, including singer Clairbel Novelo, Chinese yo-yo masters Eric Wu & Eric Liao, classical musicians Alice Leung & Eric Zhang and singer/songwriter Kyle Andrews.

The Players are led by producer Roger Tang and lead writer Maggie Lee and include Brian Beckley, Derek Chan, Chau Luu, May Nguyen, Owen Yen and Yvette Zaepfel.

Tickets are $11 General, $9 Student/Seniors through early discount online at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/103663. Group rates are available. Tickets can be purchased at the door, $14 General, $12 Student/Seniors. Reservations can be made at 206/365-0282.

Since 1997, the Pork Filled Players have waged a never-ending battle to unleash their hidden funny bone for audiences of every race, creed and gender across the Pacific Northwest. Beneath their guises as mild-mannered engineers, journalists and office workers, the Players simultaneously embodies, then subverts the stereotypes. They hone their humor like a scalpel (or is it a dull meat cleaver) to whack away at notions of race, class and social norms in 21st Century America. Equally adept at sketch comedy and traditional theatre, the Players are both Seattle’s oldest sketch comedy group and the Northwest’s longest running Asian American theatre. Humor is their chosen weapon in their mission to achieve maximum tongue-in-cheekiness, biting cultural/political satire and hilarious racial disharmony with their brand of Amazing Kung-Fu Grip™ zaniness.
