Forget that other SPRING TOURNAMENT. You know the one that involves sports. Every Monday in the Marigny, TNM has something way WAY way BETTER. No other COMPETITION will have you LAUGHING and CHEERING. The best part is that YOU DECIDE the winner in the BEST BRACKET TOURNAMENT OF ABSURDITY! TNM’s Knockout presents eight show concepts that will leave all their COMEDY on the COURT for your DELIGHT and ADMIRATION.
In This Week’s Semi-final Event: MAWN vs. ALICIA HAWKES
That first round of match-ups was one hell of a laugh-off, but we have our final four concepts set. We don’t know if we can cheer any louder for these competitors. They are energetic. They are sharp. And, they are complex. You will most definitely marvel at their gameplay and roar for their raw humor. Your belly will need a long rest from the gut-busting guffaws, so you better start stretching your laugh muscles now. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
The improv duo of MAWN delighted the first audience of this tournament, and the break has only given them more time to hone their wit and chemistry. Watching their scenes unfold is like watching your two favorite relatives have a pleasant - and hilarious - discussion. They are engaging and relatable, and you can’t stop watching them from the corner while you are eating your second helping of blueberry pie. Also at this party is the comedian you wish you were - ALICIA HAWKES. This powerhouse sketch writer and character actor will have you wondering how deep is her imagination and how broad is her knowledge. Every tightly crafted line is a surprise. Every emotional expression is a revelation. If you are one of those people who doesn’t laugh out loud, get ready to feel what that joy is like.

The New Movement is the nerve center of the New Orleans comedy scene. It's a bustling conservatory that trains the best comedians in New Orleans, it's an aggressive programming machine that features the most comedy shows under one roof in the South, it's an event production company that produces festivals, workshops, and tours like Hell Yes Fest and the Air Sex Championships, and it's a never-ending hustle to put this city on the comedy map. Arrive early for the show and grab a drink at our patio bar, ROSEWOOD. Register for classes at TNMcomedy.com. #WeLiveComedy
