Welcome to the New Kevin website.
This week:
New Kevin performs in our last
on-campus show of the year, Thursday, 9pm, back again in Social
Sciences 100. Playing the part of Daryl
Thomas this week will be Josh Cicci.
The group moves to Bookman's,
Speedway Location, for our next two shows. Our first one is Monday, November
25th and our second show is Thursday, December 19th. Both shows start
at 7:30pm and run for an hour.
If you like our little group,
coming out for these shows are the best way to support us, as it will
give the Bookman's management incentive to give us better timeslots and
better compensation in the future.
In any case, New Kevin will return
next year to put on shows for the university. We have learned much from
our run, and we have an even better show lined up for the future.
In other news...
New Kevin Speaks Out
Against Wildcat Staffer, Gets Response
Displeased with Rebekah Jampole,
an Arizona Daily Wildcat writer
who frequently does the "On the Spot" column, New Kevin collectively
wrote the following letter to the editor of the Wildcat, which was published
in the Wednesday, November 13th issue:
On the Spot ‘ridiculous
and pointless waste’ of space
Let this letter serve as notice of our dissatisfaction with Rebekah Jampole.
We at New Kevin, a long-form improv comedy group, believe that her daily
column, On the Spot, is both ridiculous and a pointless waste of time.
For example, in Friday’s On The Spot, she asks head football coach
John Makovic, “... what is the best pizza place in Winston-Salem,
North Carolina?” Only one of us has ever been to Winston-Salem,
and the pizza was terrible. Thus, the question is completely irrelevant.
Why not ask why the team is unable to win any games within its own conference?
Or why not ask if he has any extra basketball tickets? New Kevin collectively
believes that the space occupied by On the Spot would be better served
by a blank page for doodling while waiting for class to start.

physics graduate student
Shaun Clayton,
theatre/media arts senior
Daryl Thomas
liberal arts senior
Timothy Budinger,
optical engineering freshman
Surpising to us, Rebekah Jampole
provided a "response" to this letter, in the Wildcat, at the
end of the Thursday, November 14th "On
The Spot" article.
We appreciate Jampole's ironic
promotion of New Kevin.
Musicians Wanted
New Kevin is seeking solo musicians
and small combo groups to perform a short opening, ten minutes of music
in the intermission, and a short close.
We are also looking for musicians
that do not require large-scale set-ups (like a drum set) something that
could take 5 minutes or less to set up and take down.
We do not provide compensation,
but you will get a chance to perform in front of our audiences and we
will include the name of the musical group or the musician(s) who are
performing in our advertising.

further questions, e-mail us at .
