The Aristocontest

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DEAD-FROG.COM AND THE PEOPLES IMPROV THEATER PRESENT
“THE ARISTCONTEST” FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY

New York, September 9, 2005 – For one night only, some of the best
comedians in New York City will take the stage at The Peoples Improv
Theater to present their version of the filthiest joke ever told: The
Aristocrats. The event is co-presented with Dead-Frog.com, home of the
Official Aristocrats Joke Database.

Starting with a simple set-up (a man walks into a managers office), and
ending with the punchline, “The Aristocrats,” the joke has been made
infamous by numerous retellings, and the recent documentary of the same
name. At this special showing, Ali Faranakhian (former writer for Saturday
Night Live), Andres du Bouchet (Giant Tuesday Night), Fearsome (2005 ECNY
nominees), and many more will present their own unique versions.

In addition to these guests, there will be a chance for audience members
to sign up to present their own version of the joke.

Dead-Frog.com is a well respected comedy analysis blog, and the home to
the official Aristocrats Database.

The Peoples Improv Theater is home to the Best Comedy Classes in New York
City (New York Magazine), and NYC’s Best Improv Group (Big Black Car, 2005
ECNYs). Improv, sketch comedy, stand-up, and comedic theater shows are
presented nightly.
