Pork Filled Players present PORK FICTION

The Pork Filled Players and the Theatre Off Jackson presents Pork Fiction, an all-new show inspired by the action packed pulp magazines of yesteryear, running at the Theatre Off Jackson (409 7th Ave. S., Seattle), April 30 to May 15 (Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm).

Covering everything from Trekkies to political tea bagger conventions (times are tough), Pork Fiction is a celebration of the fanatic and the pulp stories they love so much. (And not just guys--PFP has the most women of any sketch group in the Northwest!)

Joining the Players are the local sketch comedy teams of Charles (April 30 and May 1) and Killer Donut (May 7 and 8) as well as the world-class team of Assaulted Fish, from Vancouver, BC (May 14 and 15). As a special bonus, winners from the University of Washington's Asian Students Commission 2010 Talent Show will be guest performers, including Clairbel Novelo, Chinese yo-yo masters Eric Wu & Eric Liao, classical musicians Alice Leung & Eric Zhang, singer Kyle Andrews plus others!

Tickets are $14 General, $12 Student/Seniors at the door. Group rates are available.

Discounted tickets can be purchased online at brownpapertickets.com ($11 General/ $9 Students or Seniors). Reservations can be made at 206/365-0282.

Scientists, programmers and nerds by day...By night, they are the Pork Filled Players!

Since 1997, the Pork Filled Players have waged a never-ending battle to unleash their hidden funny bone for audiences of every race, creed and gender across the Pacific Northwest. Beneath their guises as mild-mannered engineers, journalists and office workers, the Players simultaneously embodies, then subverts the stereotypes. They hone their humor like a scalpel (or is it a dull meat cleaver) to whack away at notions of race, class and social norms in 21st Century America. Equally adept at sketch comedy and traditional theatre, the Players are both Seattle's oldest sketch comedy group and the Northwest's longest running Asian American theatre. Humor is their chosen weapon in their mission to achieve maximum tongue-in-cheekiness, biting cultural/political satire and hilarious racial disharmony with their brand of Amazing Kung-Fu Grip(tm) zaniness.
