Calgary A-GoGo Brand-new World-Cup tie-in Show, "Own Goal!"

Calgary A-GoGo announce the launch of their brand-new football tie-in show, "Own Goal!"

In this new show, Calgary A-GoGo alumni Halzius Creepley and Calgary A-GoGo co-founder Cal Robertson will help you celebrate everything you love about European-Rules Football, or "Soccer" as you Europeans love to call it.

Our years of living in Europe has given us a unique knowledge of Soccer, and all its rules and legends. So to help you out, we'll answer questions on any of the complexities of the game: The Left-side rule, what the penalty space is for and where the goolies are.

Not only this, but we've completely changed our menu to celebrate this exciting time for world sport. Out goes the "Nachos Special" at 17 Euros, and in comes the "World Soccer Series Nachos" at 24 Euros. Out goes the "Calgary Triple Burger" at 19 Euros and in comes the "Calgary Hat-trick Burger" at 29 Euros. And we've gotten rid of the "Various Barsnacks" at 20 Euros to make way for the "World Championship Super-Challenge Wonder Selection" for 37 Euros. For Holland games everything will be colored orange using FCC-approved orange colorant E129.

So come celebrate your Soccer Olympics with us at Calgary A-GoGo's fantastic "Own Goal!" show.

Tickets: Euro 95 (increased price reflects the fact it's exactly like being in a real soccer arena because we have removed the tables and food is served from traditional European-style hot-dog stand.)
Show Starts: 10:30 pm
Dress Code: Please, no sports-wear or team colours.

Happy Sporting,
Cal Robertson,
Artistic Director Calgary A-GoGo

End of an Error

As you know, last year Calgary A-GoGo began its occasional Calgary A-GoGo Improv Cash-In. This was started when we realised there was a sizable community out there who wanted to perform improv and were prepared to pay for it. Calgary A-GoGo was only too happy to help them fulfil their dreams and our coffers. Alas things did not work out as had hoped, due to the following factors:
1) Not enough people turned up. This is despite making it as easy as possible to know when it is - simply call the premium-rate 0907 number the afternoon of the show (usually Tuesday or Wednesday) between 2 and 4 to hear a recorded announcement. And also despite us making entrance absolutely free (with the purchase of three cocktails or a T-shirt).
2) People considered coming along and getting stage-time was somehow a substitute for our Calgary A-GoGo Improv Comedy Courses (levels 1 through to 17) and Calgary A-GoGo Improv Comedy Masterclasses (levels A to J).
3) We need the time to work on our brand new shows: "Bountiful Blitz of Best Bitz from Back Before" and "Say, 'Mould.'"

I can only say, I am disappointed in you all. We tried to help the community with the Calgary A-GoGo Improv Cash-In but you let us down. In fact Calgary A-GoGo is out of pocket (not including the money we got off you from the courses you took in the first place) so much for 'community.'

But please do still come along to the next Calgary A-GoGo All-Out Improv War. And just to let you know, we've upped the price of that to get back the 17 Euro we lost on this last venture.

Cal Robertson,
Artistic Director Calgary A-GoGo
