SERIES AT THE TANK
Email Pro
Hosted by Ivan Anderson
“highly entertaining and incredibly creative Email Pro is…..on the spot- craft wacky, thoughtful, amusing emails that you may not have known you needed, but will leave you laughing, scratching your head, contemplating your life, or all three.” – Broadway World
Email Pro is a live show based on Ivan Anderson's long-running email performance art. The show includes standup comedy, an interactive seminar on writing emails to strangers (in real time), bursts of live music, and Q&A. Actual emails are written in front of an audience, with or without audience participation. The whole thing is like a glitched-out combination of talk show, email masterclass, and comedy meltdown.
Email Pro is a live performance in which Ivan Anderson writes and sends emails to strangers in front of an audience. The emails are 100% improvised and typically consist of the following: parodies of spam, parodies of self-help, absurd distortions of what it’s like to be a person, and frantic attempts to tell the truth and be helpful. Crowd work and audience engagement have a significant impact on the course of each performance. Meanwhile, recurring guest star Jeff Manian sits at the side of the stage, providing musical accompaniment on synthesizer and serving as the voice of reason. The entire thing is like a glitched-out combination of talk show, email masterclass, and comedy meltdown.
