An semi-regularly-updated brief history of The Comic Thread: 1998-2011!

A retrospective of TCT material performed between 2003 and 2011. This is the demo reel we are submitting as part of our application to appear at various sketch comedy festivals across the country and in Canada!

Mamma and Challah sketches from 2004's "Jew, the Obscure" at Second City.

Would he make a good college roommate? No need for *you* to answer! We explore that very question in this non-historical (yet tactfully choreographed) dance routine from 2004's "Jew, the Obscure".

Craig has a problem - or rather, his girlfriends do. You see, Craig takes great pride in just two things: his expressions of love, and his vintage collection of Queen 8-Tracks. The trouble is, Craig can't seem to truly appreciate either without combining the two. He is so passionate, so sensitive, and such a great dancer, that the only way he can make love to his girlfriends is by lip syncing and dancing to Queen, playing the part of (legend) Freddie Mercury.

In this audio-recording, theatre critic Catey Sullivan enacts a dramatic reading of her review of the Comic Thread's 2008 production of "God? Dammit!" at The Apple Tree Theatre.

This review has stood the test of time for being the single-greatest critique of a Comic Thread production ever. A big thank you to the radio station for providing us with a copy.

Fun fact #1: The run time of "God? Dammit!" was two hours and five minutes, including a 10-minute intermission.

Fun Fact #2: The Comic Thread has never had any stage hands.

Fun Fact #3: Plans are afoot to add visuals to this (currently-audio-only) delight.

Following TCT's disinvitation from a local arts festival, iFilm invited us to create some content explaining the situation. Several short videos were then prominently featured on that website. This clip, showcasing the 30+ HPHS alumni who have worked with TCT between 1998 and 2007, has since evolved into the "X Years of Bows" video that periodically gets updated with new clips.
