Last Call Cleveland

Last Call Cleveland

Last Call Cleveland is a sketch comedy troupe. The members originally met when they were students at Kent State University. Although most of their performances have been in northeastern Ohio (primarily at Cabaret Dada, the Second City Cleveland theater and the House of Blues) they have also performed in Chicago (at the Chicago Sketchfest), Washington DC and in Los Angeles (at the ImprovOlympic theater).

In 2005, the "Free Times" named them "Cleveland's Best Performing Arts Group of 2005".

On September 6th, 2006, their video about the cult web/Cleveland personality Marc the Norton Furniture Guy was featured on the Opie and Anthony website, as well as other videos.

The book " [http://www.amazon.com/dp/0767924185 Look At My Striped Shirt] " is available now from Amazon.com and at major retail booksellers. Edited by Mike Polk, it features articles by some of Last Call's current and former members, as well as the infamous "Look At My Striped Shirt" article which originally appeared on thephatphree.com, as written by Mike Polk.

On September 22, 2006, they appeared live on the "Opie and Anthony" radio show. In the October 2006 issue of 'Cleveland Magazine", they were named the city's "Best Comedy Group."

Last Call Cleveland is responsible for the mock motivational rock group Falconheart, which has appeared at The House of Blues.

The group is currently performing monthly shows at the House of Blues in Cleveland and appearing on Fox Sports Net. They have over 30 videos of live and taped performances on youtube.

The majority of the troupe's members are also a part of Run-Away-Box Productions - and can be seen in the on-line series "Man in the Box" and "Greg's Office Tormentors."
