This week is the Big Comedy Go-To Festival in London. We have a ridiculous week of shows planned. It began with a 60-minute set at the Alex P Keaton on Saturday April 7th.

Next we present… The Good Game Music Show! A half-hour show of musical comedy presented by Good Game. This is the first time we’ve put on an all music show. Make sure to catch it either at the Smiling Buddha in Toronto tomorrow @ 7:30pm (No Cover!), or at the Arts Project in London Saturday the 14th @ 4:00pm. Both will be awesome shows!

David and Craig are also appearing as stand up acts at the Comedy Go-To’s The Big One the night of the 14th at the Black Shire Pub in London. It’s going to be an awesome week! We also have a show planned in Sarnia later on this month, more details on that TBA!

Good Game member Craig Scorgie has been working on this documentary for quite some time. It will have its first public screening this Spring, then will carry on to festivals around North America. Check out the trailer! Technically, you could say that it’s one-third Good Game movie. To receive screening updates, you can follow the film on Facebook, Twitter, or visit their website.

Here’s a little inside tidbit about us Good Gamers. Mr. Nick Chenosky works at a radio station. Sometimes we meet at this radio station to write. Sometimes we get distracted and make wacky audio things, usually never of them see the light of day. This is one of those things, and you know what? We’re gonna put it out there, just to see what happens. Consider it a little treat for stopping by the Good Game website. You’re welcome! Come back some other time!

For the record, we did not write this. This is literally us reading a facebook status update with comments, off of a facebook profile of a real man named Walla Pumpy. If you don’t like it, it’s his fault. To play the podcast, click on the blue “The Correspondences of Walla Pumpy” just to the right of this post. Cheers!

This December, Good Game has two exciting shows at Hard Luck Bar. On Tuesday we will be performing as part of a special event, featuring some of Toronto’s best up-and-coming standup comics: Catherine McCormick, Steve Patrick Adams, Adam Downey, Kirk Jorgenson, and Eric Miinch. If you missed out on our show at the Lower Ossington Theatre in November, you don’t want to miss this one! The best part about it… it only costs $5 at the door to get in. Sweet deal.

“Nick Chenosky is THE asshole”

We’d like to start off by thanking everyone who came out to our performance Tuesday night at the Lower Ossington Theatre. It was definitely our best performance at TO Sketch Fest, and likely the best performance we’ve yet to do in Toronto. We’d like to thank the producers of The Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival, and all their staff and volunteers for making it happen. Here’s a little blurb that “Vic” from the blog Bloody Underrated wrote about our show:

Next up was Good Game, a Toronto sketch group comprised of three talented and confident young men. They had some weird humour: I’m thinking, specifically, of the offbeat Dan’s Day Off sketch, which conspicuously lacked a punchline but which was pulled off flawlessly by “funny weird or just weird” Craig. But they also threw in some good old-fashioned musical comedy, which I adored (though I’m the first to admit I’m a total sucker for a cute guy with a ukulele.) Some of the sketches had great (almost Charles-level) segues, and the last sketch’s throwback to the first one was genius, a wonderfully surprising way to wrap up the show. I love a show that makes you feel like you’ve gotten to know the performers on a personal level, and Good Game did that for me, especially in the Debate sketch in which it is argued in the most serious and intellectual way possible whether or not Nick is an asshole. These are clearly three naturally funny people, and they won my vote hands-down for the “Best of the Fest” ballot of the evening’s first show.

Because we’re attention-seeking narcissistic bastards, we naturally only included the part of the review that was about us. See the full review on the night’s festivities here.

Good Game was featured in the Ossington Village Blog today, leading up to our performance at the Lower Ossington Theatre this Tuesday November 8th (full details below). We answered some questions for them, to tell y’all what the deal is. Check it out.

It’s official, we’re appearing at the annual Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival for the second time. This year has some of the best talent the Toronto Sketch Fest has ever seen, including the Williamson Playboys, Picnicface (Comedy Network), Two Kids One Hall (Kevin McDonald and Scott Thompson of Kids in The Hall), The Imponderables, Falcon Powder, Smells Like The 80s… the list goes one. The cost of one show is $15, but for $40 you can get a 4-show pass for the festival. All tickets can be purchased in advance on the Toronto Sketch Fest website. We hope to see y’all there!
