Over.The.Hump….hope everyone had a radical holiday weekend. WE certainly did. After a ridiculous gathering at Brent’s place last Thursday night and a blowout show on Saturday night, the Tank is still recovering. We have tons of new footage that should be ready any day now (both from The Cornservatory & the Live Bait Theater shows).

9 DAYS AND COUNTING
UNTIL OUR BIG SHOW! But seriously, if you have visited this site at all
recently, you’re probably aware. If you visit the site much, you’ve probably
also noticed that we are undergoing a redesign of sorts. We’re working to clean it all up and have it be more functional than ever.
So George Carlin
died this week. And that sucks. Without getting too sentimental we’ll say this: he was an AWESOME comic who we all (think tank) admired
tremendously. He will be missed. Here’s a great video of him ripping on white

Ah...to be back over the hump...first some news from the SHOWS department.
Think Tank have locked down a July 5th Show at the Live Bait Theater. Check the

email to tickets@thinktankcomedy.com to lock yours down. We are also pleased to
announce that we have secured our first ever Indianapolis show on July 26th at

Ok...on with HUMP. First up, all kinds of people have been wondering how the
new material is shaping up...and here's a sneak peek. This is us LAST NIGHT
