Count Basie Center for the Arts presents Colin Mochrie & Brad Sherwood in "Asking for Trouble"

(RED BANK, NJ) -- Get ready for an evening of sidesplitting laughter as the dynamic duo Colin Mochrie & Brad Sherwood from TV's "Whose Line is it Anyway?," take the stage in a one-night-only uproarious live show, Asking For Trouble. The show comes to the Count Basie Center for the Arts on Friday, October 4, 2024 at 7:30pm.

Armed with their lightning-fast wits, Mochrie & Sherwood transform the audience’s suggestions into an unpredictable evening of non-stop comedy gold. No script? No problem! “Asking For Trouble” is a wild rollercoaster ride of hilarity, where two improv legends prove they are still the best in the business.

Known by TV audiences for their work on Whose Line is it Anyway? Colin & Brad improvise new material every night from audience suggestions and participation. “Interactive” in every sense of the word, Colin & Brad will take the audience on a comedic high-wire act…just like a live version of Whose Line!

Their amusing, PG-rated family show includes variations on many of the games showcased on Whose Line Is It Anyway?, including “Sound FX” and “One Word Expert.” As Mochrie and Sherwood take caution to point out at the beginning of each show, the scenes that make up the act are entirely unscripted. Throughout the evening, the show becomes truly interactive as audience members are called to the stage to participate in the fun.

Tickets range from $29.50 - $69.50 + fees and are available for purchase online.  Count Basie Center for the Arts is located at 99 Monmouth Street in Red Bank, New Jersey.

Mochrie and Sherwood both rose to prominence on the improv TV series as frequent players in its original incarnation on Britain's Channel 4 and then as star performers on the American version of the TV show from 1998-2006.

Before making comedy history with Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Mochrie starred in a variety of commercials, TV shows and movies. He was the recipient of the Canadian Comedy Award for Best Male Improviser in 2000 and the Canadian Comedy Award for Best Male Performance on the Canadian version of “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” the following year.

Sherwood has also appeared on various TV sitcoms, including VH1’s I Love the 70s, 80s and 90s and has headlined in Las Vegas with Drew Carey as a member of the comedy show, “Improv All-Stars.”

Now, Get ready for a night of non-stop laughter for all ages!
