DUCHOVNY Dominates, Ends VERY GOOD Run October 28, 2024 |
DUCHNOVNY stormed the stage and took the win last Thursday, abruptly ending VERY GOOD BOYS' run. VERY GOOD BOYS, who a week earlier had taken the championship and along with all of our hearts, gave a very good performance--but it was DUCHOVNY's trademarked style of controlled chaos that ultimately won over the rowdy crowd of Cageamaniacs. A gentle reminder to our expansive readership: Cage Match will be presenting a special Halloween performance of the the ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW next week--so you'll have to wait until November to find out if DUCHOVNY is able to hold on to their title as they go up against scrappy upstarts JUST AND. We'll see you in the Arena--same cage time, same cage theater. |

VERY GOOD BOYS Have Very Good Set October 21, 2024 |
The lights on Cage Match Way were dimmed last Thursday as another team had its blazing hot run ended last Thursday. CLINT, who for the past seven weeks enchanted and delighted us with their quirky mix of mad cap wittiness and fanatic religious devotion, had their run ended by a quadrio wild merrymakers--VERY GOOD BOYS. Indeed, VERY GOOD BOYS lived up to their name and led the audience a comedic journey that ultimately netted them the win. Come back next Thursday to follow the wild misadventures of VERY GOOD BOYS and come back for our championship to see if CLINT takes the big trophy. Also, a ghost revealed that Fun Boy Randy canonically has three testicles. |

Caped Cretin Causes Chaos, Kills Cuckley August 25, 2024 |
Last Cage Match was a bittersweet mix of joy and sorrow as, beneath the blistering arc lights and rapt attention of a sold out audience, long-time host Chuck Cuckley was tragically struck down by a hitherto unseen assailant. The brazen attack was committed by a caped villain who gave his name as Duke Rascal and whose flashy showmanship was matched only by his hatred of improv. After striking down Cuckley with a Scripted Three-Act Drama Death Touch, Rascal left the stage without further incident. Fun Boy Randy, the other host, witnessed the event but did nothing to stop it. He later commented, "I had just eaten almost an entire sandwich, so I was in no shape to save anyone's life." Cuckley is survived by his wife, Taramarianalunicinda, and her boyfriend, Chad. Aside from the public murder, the rest of the show was a veritable whirlwind of excitement as up-and-comers Siblings put on an incredible show and almost beat champs Clint. Unfortunately, "almost" is the key word here, as Clint also pulled off an incredible feat of improvery and managed to defend their title--by the narrow margin of only four votes! Truly anything can happen in the Cage March Arena, concrete jungle what dreams are made of! Donations to the Cuckley family can made at 242 E 14th St this Thursday at 10pm. |

PIE TOWN says, "Bye, Town," as THE LAKE AT DAWN Dawns New Era June 7, 2024 |
Beloved indie darlings PIE TOWN, who three weeks ago ended SLOP's marathon 9-win run, had their own run ended by scrappy up-and-comers THE LAKE AT DAWN. Both teams introduced themselves with synchronized statements, which were described as, "like a drunken night at a cabin," by one onlooker and, "like drowning," by another. This madcap energy carried over to both sets, prompting many a delighted giggle and guffaw from the amazed crown. But in the end, THE LAKE AT DAWN prevailed and will return next. Is the beginning of a new multi-show run? Or will ZEBRA nip this budding dynasty before it blooms? There's only one way to find out! Tickets are on sale now! |
