1 9 100958 <p>Formed in late-2008 when a stray bolt of sex-lightning struck Austin&rsquo;s ColdTowne Theater, improv comedy troupe Boy Toy includes some of the funniest and most-innovative improvisers in the country. Among this dazzling troupe of funnykins are ColdTowne Conservatory teachers and graduates, an Air Sex World Champion, a World of Warcraft guru, a zip-line tour guide, the manager of a Starbucks, and &ldquo;Dirty Baby,&rdquo; leader of Austin&rsquo;s only ukulele rock-and-roll band. Boy Toy performs &ldquo;The Harold,&rdquo; the grandpappy of improv formats that intertwines organic games, scenes, and relationships into one big ball of sexy you&rsquo;ll want to take home with you &hellip; but not to your mother. Boy Toy performs <strong>every Saturday</strong> at ColdTowne Theater (4803 Airport Blvd, next to I Luv Video), at 7:00pm.</p> http://do512.com/event/weekly/sat/boy-toy-presents-2 http://do512.com/event/weekly/sat/boy-toy-presents-2.xml Saturday 11/07/09 20091108T010000Z/20091108T010000Z false 0 23.0 07:00 PM Sat, 07 Nov 2009 19:00:00 -0600 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 19:00:00 -0600 23 SAT 01/30/2010 http://www.boytoyimprov.com http://s3.amazonaws.com/do512/photos/277473/boy-toy-medium_sq_90.jpg ColdTowne Theater 780 http://do512.com/venue/coldtowne-theater http://do512.com/venue/coldtowne-theater.xml
