I am famous everywhere else.

Before my show last night at the UCBT, Bobby Moynihan and Eric Scott (of the UCB TourCo) approached and told me that I was "all over Miami". Apparently the TourCo played the 2006 Miami Improv Festival last week, and much of the artwork/banners/programs had reproductions of Johnny Lunchpail, including our infamous "fat" photo (the one prompting us to all go on diets). Apparently one of the banners was "8 foot tall". Miami has a great festival and I wish we coiuld have gone this year.

Meanwhile in newly conservative Canada, Johnny Lunchpail was listed as a top 10 comedy show of 2005 by Toronto's Now Magazine.

9) JOHNNY LUNCHPAIL (Toronto Improv Festival, August 19) Clad in dark blue industrial shirts, this quartet from New Yawk have a working-class look to match their guy-on-the-street name. Yet their improv comedy is anything but common. They've got a terrific sense of structure and visual play, mapping out scenes physically so they come alive for an audience. At their standout set at the summer's Toronto Improv Festival, they took us on a rough boat trip, into a haunted condominium and introduced us to a forklift operator with a thing for crushing people. They capped it off with a song about a mechanic that was hilariously well-lubed. -- Toronto Now Magazine 12/25/2005

Hopefully some of this will rub off in NYC soon.
