Laughing Gas Press Release 10/16/2004

Laughing Gas Nominated for Four "Improv Miami Prizes" - Awards for Excellence

The Laughing Gas Comedy Improv Theatre Company, South Florida's Longest Running Professional Improv Theatre Company, is proud to announce receiving 4 nominations for The Improv Miami Prizes 2004, or "Impys". Laughing Gas was nominated in "Best Short Form", "Best Long Form", "Best Extreme", and "Best Sketch".

The Impys are dedicated to the promotion of the improvisational art form and to recognize excellence both on and off stage. The event, to be held in December, will include almost all of the troupes in South Florida for an evening that will raise the standards of improv and have the audiences roaring with laughter as only an improvised award show could.

"We are proud to be recognized for our shows," said Gerald Owens, the Director of Laughing Gas. "We have built a reputation for excellence over the last 12 years and our nominations confirm something we've known for some time, that we're funny and our audiences like us."

"We look forward to the event," Owens continued, "and hope that the event will raise awareness of the artform in South Florida. That, plus it should be a lot of fun."

Over the past several months, Laughing Gas has performed shows to "Improv The Vote", lampooned pop-culture in the "eMTeeVee Video Music A-Weirds" and the upcoming "We Crashed the Auto Show" and performed in benefits raising money for charities. Already having been picked a Social Miami "Pick of the Week" several times for their themed shows and regularly being recognized for relevant material, Laughing Gas should be a strong contender at the Impys.

Details about the nominations are available on the improvmiami.com website at: http://www.improvmiami.com/2004nominees.htm

Details about the venue and show time will be presented as they become available.
