2014 SOLOCOM to Run 11/14-16

The Peoples Improv Theater announces the return of SOLOCOM following last year's record-breaking weekend, which debuted 60 world premieres. Creators Toby Knops (creator of NY Improv Fest & NY Sketch Festival) and award-winning solo show artist Peter Michael Marino (Desperately Seeking the Exit) once again present all new solo comedies from national and international solo performers. This year's festival features artists from across the country, London, Australia and Newfoundland - from traditional solo show artists to sketch, storytelling, stand up, physical comedy, musicians, multi-media, improv, cabaret, and clowning.

Marino and Knops created SOLOCOM to provide artists a platform to generate new comic material. Dozens of shows that made their debut at SOLOCOM 2013 have gone on to tour the world and play at various festivals including Edinburgh Fringe, Hollywood Fringe, NC Comedy Arts Festival, and Orlando Fringe. Gary Busey's One-Man Hamlet by David Carl began at SOLOCOM and became the break-out hit of the New York International Fringe this past summer.

Shows this year include new work from Australia's Xavier Toby who received acclaim at this year's NYFringe (When We Were Idiots), SNL-spoof shows from Angel Yau & Iliana Inocencio, a Christmas cavalcade from radio host Nancy Lombardo, and an intriguing new show about gambling from PIT founder Ali Farahnakian (SNL).
With 90 shows ranging from 15 to 60-minutes in two spaces over three days, there's bound to be something to tickle everyone's funny bone during the return of this groundbreaking, comical solo show weekend. All shows are only $5!
