Tonight in Los Angeles: Rigor Tortoise Performs Improv at The Clubhouse

May 27

If your Wednesday night plans currently involve:

– Scrolling endlessly into the void.
– Rewatching Gilmore Girls for the 90th time.
– Or wondering whether or not you’re actually hearing an owl. You know that feeling when you’re like, “do owls even live here?” But, you’re sure you’re hearing an owl.

Well, hoot hoot, there’s a better option.

Tonight, Rigor Tortoise performs live as part of Honeymoon Improv at The Clubhouse in Los Angeles.

Known for fast-paced longform improv, absurd characters, and emotionally committed performances, Rigor Tortoise has performed at festivals and comedy shows across Los Angeles and beyond—and tonight’s show should get wonderfully weird…and…may include owls. They’re there!

Show Details
– Wednesday, May 27th in the year of 2026
– 9:00 PM, or 21:00 hours if you’re “that guy.”
– The Clubhouse

Featuring:
– Hilarity
– Scarity
– Owls

And yes… still No Mio.

Live Improv Comedy Show in North Hollywood: Rigor Tortoise Returns with Greg Castle – This Friday at The Brickhouse Theater

July 8

Look, do I think AI and ChatGPT is horrible for the business of creatives, and just in general? Yes! Should I be saying this out loud for fear that robots will murder me? NO I SHOULD NOT! But…I am not good at promoting, and you know who is? My ol friend ChattyGPTizzle. Here’s what I asked, and here’s what I got. You know this post is gonna go so viral and our show is gonna be bigger than Babs at The Hollywood Bowl!

What I asked, and probably would have used because I’m just a dumb human:

Create an image post that I can use on Instagram to announce a live show Rigor Tortoise is having this Friday at The Brickhouse Theater in North Hollywood. The show is at 8PM and it is the return of Greg Castle! Greg was abducted many years ago, and we’re so happy he escaped his captors, and the very first thing he wanted to do was an improv show. The show is $15, and includes food and drink from King’s Hawaiian. King’s Hawaiian was a staple of my youth as a very fat kid. I’d eat the whole tray, and guess what, I wouldn’t put it in the oven, I’d raw dog it. Oh, and make this like a teaser, you know? Cuz we still got a week, so I gotta post over and over again. Also, I don’t think there is a link. But, people can figure it out, right? It might be at the door? Okay, make this Instagram post! Also, it’s gotta go viral baby!

What I freakin got!

🎉 IT’S ALIVE! 🎉

Get ready for an EPIC night of laughs and surprises! Rigor Tortoise is BACK with an incredible live show this Friday at The Brickhouse Theater in North Hollywood!

🗓️ Date: This Friday
🕗 Time: 8 PM
📍 Location: The Brickhouse Theater, North Hollywood

🎟️ Admission: $15
