Sure, Christmas Day is fun, but by the evening you’ll have played with all of your toys and gotten sick of looking at each other. And if you don’t celebrate Christmas you’ll be even more bored. We’ve got the solution for you this year – Chinese Food and ComedySportz! We’ll be doing a special show at The Retro Dome at 8pm, complete with a Chinese Food Buffet beforehand. Tickets are available on the Retrodome’s website. 

New Year’s Eve Spectacular

7:00pm at The Retro Dome and 10:00pm at ComedySportz

We’ve got something special for you this year. Your choice of our early show at The Retro Dome at 7pm or our late show at 10pm downtown at ComedySportz. Both shows will feature a countdown to midnight (hey, at 9pm it will be 2012 on the East Coast) and include party favors and dessert. Tickets are $20/person but will go up after 12/27 so buy yours early!

“I’m thankful that some of my best friends let me get on stage and goof around with them on a semi-regular basis.  I’m thankful that that’s actually entertaining to other people. I’m thankful that I also have two children that goof around with me on a semi-regular basis when I’m not making them do homework.  I’m thankful that my family and friends put up with me when I’m not making them do homework.” - Derek “The Real” McCaw

“I’m thankful I waited 42 years to find my true love.  Just don’t tell my wife or she’ll be mad…” -  Jeff “Non-Dairy” Kramer

“I’m thankful for my friends who have been especially good to me this year.  Thanks to my best friend Corey for using his sarcasm and wit to cheer me up when I needed it most.  Thank you to CSz SJ Playerz Sam “The Dark” Neipp for helping me move, Tara “Ra Ra” Paulson for all her pet sitting help, and Karin “Me & Bobby” McKie for all the great chats and for introducing me to a famous mime.” -   Brianne “Abbott And” Kostielney

“I’m thankful for family, friends, laughter and TiVo.” - Kevin “Shaquille” O’Shea

“I’m thankful for the wonderful family and friends I have been blessed with, and especially in the CSz family- local and abroad.  Life is sweeter with you all in it. Also, I’m thankful for my bike, turkey burgers, yoga when I actually go, and Ryan Gosling/Ryan Gosling’s abs.” - Courtney “Let Me See That” Pong

“I am thankful for my lovely wife and our great family (including 300 pounds of dogs known as Elphaba and Guste).  I also am thankful for my amazing ComedySportz family and the great friends I have made through ComedySportz.  I am thankful that Jeff has created a place for this bunch of misfits and miscreants to come together and laugh and play, and that our Loyal Fanz come down to watch us be silly, because otherwise I would have to spend my time at local parks and Occupy ­insert relevant location here Protests entertaining the crowd with my pun and rhyming skills.  Oh yeah…and I am thankful for my iPad…” - Michael “Bolton” Wilcoxen

“I’m thankful for my friends and family, and that I will get to spend the Christmas holidays in Kansas with them.  I’m thankful for my ComedySportz family, in which I will celebrate 1 year with at the end of the month! Mostly I’m thankful for you that are reading this, because it confirms that there is someone who wastes as much time as I do reading stuff on the Internet.  I would like to thank Kevin O’Shea for offering to give all of us at ComedySportz Apple TVs, iPhones, iPads and iMacs for Christmas.* And finally, thanks to Derek McCaw for keeping me warm at night.”** -  Andy “Perspirant” Alder

“This year I’m thankful for being a part of CSz. Ever since I became a player, I’ve felt welcome and supported by the whole team through thick and thin. They’ve become a second family (albeit a motley one) to me, and together we’ve shared more laughs than I can possibly count. I honestly can’t imagine not having my CSz friends as a part of my life. So thank you, guys! I am still not thankful for yams.” - Jimmy “Hero in a Half” Snell

*Not a real promise. Cannot be combined with any other offers. One per customer per visit.
** Not true, but let’s see if Derek notices.

ComedySportz player Cassie “Kiss From A” Rosenbrock here. I wanted to steal a moment to let you know that here at ComedySportz, we see you every weekend where we get to make you laugh and add a little joy to your weekend – But we’re not just improvisers, and we certainly don’t live at CSz. Well, most of us don’t, anyway. (I think CSz player Jimmy may have secretly moved into Psycho Donuts. He smells like sugar and is usually covered in sprinkles.)

We live in your community, we work in your office buildings, we eat your sandwiches that you put in the work refrigerator even though you put your name on the top because we were really hungry and we forgot to bring a lunch from home…and we’re pretty sure that you ate our burritozilla from last week – so now we’re even. We, like most of your friends, like to run into you when you’re out and about. We want to say hi!  Help you pick orange juice at Trader Joe’s (seriously, pulp or no pulp?) and let us get to know you. That way, come Friday and Saturday, when you’re coming down to a CSzz match, we get to see our friends.

This Thanksgiving day, we’re getting out in a big, sweaty way. A few CSz playerz have rallied together to run the annual Silicon ValleyTurkey Trot in our home of downtown San Jose. The race takes place (Rhyming!) early Thanksgiving morning and benefits several local charities. I will be running along with CSz playerz Jimmy Snell and Courtney Pong and I really hope you’ll join us! …Unless you run quickly or are athletic in any way. Our egos are very fragile. In fact, you’ll probably recognize us by the loud sobbing sounds we’ll be making as we attempt the 5K.

Please say hello as you race past the team, or come jog alongside with us and we’ll try to play Thanksgiving themed 185 to keep ourselves from passing out. I’m so excited to see all your faces! If you’re still interested in signing up to run, you can visit the SV Turkey Trot registration page. Leave a comment and let us know you’re coming. Can’t wait to see you there!

• Mashup games – Ever seen Blind Choice? (Blind Line + New Choice)  If you like the game 185, you should see it mixed with Onstage Dubbing…
• Mashup music – Tunez to jam to to help get you in the mood while you watch the above mentioned games
• Mashup Costume Contests – We’ll be looking to see who attended in the best mashup costume, and awarding cool prizes to the most creative and fun ideas. What does a mashup costume look like?  Think of putting two people together, like Abraham Lincoln and The Hamburgler, to create a whole new person/costume:  AbraHamburgler. Or Jason Patrick Stewart. Or…you get the idea. Start Googling…
• Any other mashup surprises we want to throw your way.

Apart from his interests in improv and theatre, Jimmy loves adventure, be it afternoon tea after climbing the Himalayas, sailing the English Channel in a washtub, or a good old fashioned land race across Mongolia.  He currently works training docents in a museum. It is there, amidst the dusty, disheveled shelves of the museum that he hones his improv skills, making up useless information about the exhibits around him, and presenting them as fact. His personal motto: “Si hoc legere scis, nimium eruditionis habes.”
