The Comic Energy Sketch Comedy Troupe concludes their 7th season of live performance with, "Aloha Philly!" (Island Fever) tonight;
9pm at O'Neal's Pub.
The interesting thing about Comic Energy is not only has the troupe been able to survive as long as it has,
but the troupe is actually striving better than ever. "Aloha Philly!" marks the seventh production of this
seventh season for Philly's longest running sketch comedy troupe.
Comic Energy's sketch shows feature a theme based set. September being their season opener was titled, "Back
To School Special" a two week run that featured the groups famed fraternity, "XXXX" (chi chi chi chi).
The troupe is currently writing a screenplay for a film based on the characters and Comic Energy plans on
filming the 60 minute venture this summer.
"The frat movie titled "A Night To Remember" takes the stage version and builds a basis for the characters.
It takes place 10 years after graduation, where you see the main characters of the fraternity in their
new lives. After being re-united at one of their local spots they reminisce about the past and the stories
come to life", says producer JD Daly.
The staged original script was written by JD and Walter Threadgill in 4 days and was performed twice in the past
few years a one week run in September of 2004, followed by one in September of 2006.
"What I like about this new version is the moral of the story, this might be the first time in 7 years that we
have actually hit a moral".
"Aloha Philly!" the troupe's latest stage show opens tomorrow night with some of Comic Energy's more popular
characters of the season, that being "Krunkie" (Mike Ford) on Survivor and "Billy" (Frank Fral), who's idol is
Peter Pan) on a Hawaiian dating show.
The show also features the "Nutrionist" played by Caroline Simmons who teaches us how cannibalism can be
nutrious with the help of an island chief (played by Jon Bissett) and his son "Chi Chi" (Pat Reber).
