Cartoon Overlord at ACME Comedy Theater
It's been a while since I've been able to check out ACME Comedy Theater, the comics-friendly improv outfit run by Travis Oates over on La Brea. But comics and animation fans should check out the current Sunday night show, the improv-animation combo Cartoon Overlord.
Yes, that's right, improv animation, creating using both artwork created by local cartoonists and by the crowd. Audience members can download a template for creating characters and settings at the website or at the show. The artwork is animated by a cast of ACME improv actors who provide live voices and use a proprietary videogame engine to control what's on screen with game controllers.
Here's a sample:
The show, which opened March 18 and runs through May 27, is run by Joseph Limbaugh and uses comic art from Comic Strip Network. Tickets cost $10 if you submit art and $12 if you don't. More info on the show and ACME at their respective sites.
