Arts / News Robot Johnson to hit the road
Posted By Anita Overcash on Mon, Aug 24, 2009 at 4:43 PM
As many of you have probably already heard The Nook (formerly The Graduate) in Plaza Midwood has closed. This means Charlotte Comedy Theatre won’t be holding its improv comedy shows there anymore, as well as the sketch comedy troupe, - headed by Sean Keenan - known as Robot Johnson.
So, what's next for Robot Johnson? Creative Loafing just got word on the troupe's plans via its latest press release. Check out the news below.
Robot Johnson (www.robotjohnson.com), Charlotte’s premier sketch comedy troupe, is taking its show on the road this Fall.With the closing of The Charlotte Comedy Theatre – Robot Johnson’s home since its inception in 2007 – the troupe got creative and started calling around.
One of the first venues they booked for the newly-created “Best of the Best” show was the Carolina Actor’s Studio Theatre, or CAST.
The Robot Johnson Show will perform at CAST at 10 pm, Saturday September 5th.
Robot Johnson is no stranger to changing venues. Between April and September of 2008, the troupe performed at the Charlotte Comedy Theatre, Actor’s Theatre Charlotte, the Duke Energy Theatre and McGlohon Theatre.
“We’ve enjoyed having our own home for nearly two years now,” says Sean Keenan, co-founder of Robot Johnson. “We’re extremely grateful to the folks at The Nook and The Graduate as well as CCT for giving us a place to play. We see this not so much as a setback as an opportunity to do new things.”
As a special added bonus, fans who attend the September 5th show will receive a unique promotional CD featuring two popular parody songs with new lyrics by cast member David Golden. The songs were recorded during sessions for Golden’s upcoming album, Here’s What I Really Think of You, and also feature cast member Meghan Lowther on vocals. The songs will not be included on that album and are only available to people who attend the September 5 show at CAST.
Robot Johnson will also perform Monday, September 29th at The Gathering Spot in Greenville, SC.Robot Johnson is Charlotte's premier sketch comedy troupe, giving the Queen City good humor by bad people. For more information, please visit www.robotjohnson.com.
