PFP K-SPAMs the Media

Stop the presses! Flood the airwaves! Spam the Net!

Pork Filled Players (PFP) body slams the media in their new sketch comedy show, K-SPAM: Yellow Journalism and Other Jaundiced Media, starting September 16, at the Northwest Actors’ Studio Cabaret Space (1100 East Pike St., Seattle, WA).

The Northwest’s longest running Asian American sketch comedy group tackles the debut of Seattle’s first South Asian superhero, singing Zen Buddhist monks, the trials and travails of Asian American new anchors and the Bush Administration’s final solution for NPR funding.

K-SPAM plays at 8 pm, Fridays and Saturdays from September 16 to October 8. Tickets are $12 general, $9 students/groups. For more information go to http://www.porkfilled.com or email pr@porkfilled.com. Tickets are available online at http://www.ticketwindowonline.com or call 206/325-6500.

PFP welcomes its first South Asian member, Agastya Kohli, as well as fellow rookies Virginia Gabby, Brian Beckley and Jaime Saginor, who join PFP stalwarts Edward T. Tonai and Maggie Lee (in a new role as actor!) under the leadership of returning director Linda Lombardi and producer Roger Tang for PFP’s 17th show.

The Pork Filled Players have been veterans of the Seattle sketch comedy scene since 1997. As the Northwest’s premiere Asian American sketch comedy group, the Players have toured from Eugene, Oregon, to Vancouver, B.C., racking up appearances at the first two Seattle Sketchfests, Bumbershoot 2004 and SketchOff@%#!?, the first international Asian sketch comedy competition. Over the years, the players have employed an ever changing cast of characters in their never-ending battle for truth, pursuit of justice, and finding out whatever the hell they mean by the American way of life in the 21st Century.
