About Me

ColdTowne is Arthur Simone, Tami Nelson, Chris Trew, Justin York, and Michael Jastroch.We throw parties and call them improv shows. And sketch shows. The for-real "About Me" from our website is as follows:ColdTowne formed in March of 2005 from members of two Comedy Conservatory student teams in New Orleans, Louisiana. For several months, they performed weekly at one of the Crescent City's premier theater venues, Le Chat Noir, becoming key players in the city's budding comedy improvisation scene. After Hurricane Katrina, five of ColdTowne’s eight members fled to Austin, Texas, living together, begging for food together, and building a group mind that borders on codependence. Performing at Austin's Out of Bound Improv Festival, Coldtowne established their new existence as relentless and adaptable performers, come hell or high water. Since then, Coldtowne has performed long-form improv regularly at Austin's Hideout Theater, and even produced a sold-out performance of a Katrina-inspired sketch show, Hurricanes are Funny. The Residents of ColdTowne come from a variety of backgrounds... ( finished at www.ColdTowneTheater.com )
