Section 8 Comedy Troupe - Dallas, Texas

WHO ARE YOU CRAZY GUYS ANYWAY?

The Section 8 Comedy Troupe had its primitive beginnings at the venerable performing-arts and modeling institution of KD Studios in Dallas, Texas. There, an ad placed in their newsletter circa 1993 led to an assemblage of talented folks, then calling themselves Actors Without A Stage, intent on using their combined talents to entertain the masses. Among these bright and funny individuals were Josh Martin, Chris Rager and Mark Orvik. Mike McFarland jumped on board later in 1996.
AWAS made a name for themselves over the next few years, playing local popular venues in Dallas including Club Dada, Pocket Sandwich Theatre and Addison Improv, as audiences had their collective asses laughed off to the outrageous improv sketches and hysterical musical numbers, as well as timeless characters like the Pilzberry Homeboy and Byron The Special Person.
As time went on, gigs came and went, lineups changed, associations formed and dissolved... and by the end of 1998 Josh, Mark, Chris and Mike forged a new comedy collective that would now be known as Section 8.
Today, Section 8 continues to entertain audiences in the Metroplex and all around the United States with their unique and edgy brand of humor.

SO, WHAT GOES ON AT ONE OF YOUR SHOWS?
Once the lights go out you're in for a wild ride. The show mainly consists of hilarious sketches, songs and improv games where YOU, the upstanding citizens in our audience, throw in your suggestions for the guys to play off of.
