TFM’s FALL SCHEDULE

Mark your calendars!   Set your DVRs!   Get ready for a Foolhardy Fall!

TFM has been accepted to the PIT’s SketchProv competition! Last year we made it to the Quarter-Finals and this year we’re looking to take home the Grand Prize of $2500 cash and a scheduled run in the new year at the PIT!

Our first appearance in the preliminary round is SUNDAY, SEP. 19th at 7pm!

Watch as we put on 20 minutes of our best sketch-comedy against the funny and talented group “Boat”.

If we advance, the next rounds would be:   Quarter-Finals Thurs 9/23 at 8/9/10pm,   Semi-Finals Fri 9/24 at 8 or 9pm,   and the FINALS are Sat 9/24 8pm!

Remember, the audience vote counts every show, so be there and help make a difference!  We can only advance to the next round with your help!

TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE! – please double-check your dates

and coming in October…

This Halloween season, THE GHOULHARDY MANOR returns to NY/NJ!  For two spooky Saturdays this fall, the PIT becomes the spookiest place in town. The Foolhardy Manor has been redecorated. Enter The Ghoulhardy Manor to be haunted by an all-new character-driven and one-of-a-kind improvised spook-tacular from your Foolhardy friends. You’ll regret it if you ignore our house while trick-or-treating this year. If you see that there’s a scarecrow waiting outside, don’t worry. He won’t jump at you. Or will he? Is that a person in there, or what? I’m not getting near that thing. Come on, just do it. You’ll laugh when it’s all said and done.
SATURDAY OCTOBER 9th at 7PM    &   SATURDAY OCTOBER 16th at 7pm

COME IN COSTUME!

SATURDAY 10/30

ALSO COMING IN OCTOBER, TFM WILL BE PERFORMING AT THE END-ALL BE ALL OF HALLOWEEN COMEDY EVENTS IN NJ.  - (DETAILS TBA)
