Vilification Tennis JEWbilee!

Be honest, you don’t know how to spell Hanukah correctly, you’ve never read Merchant of Venice and you call that hat Jews wear on their heads “that hat that Jews wear on their heads.” This show is for you! We will do our best to be as offensive and insensitive as always but for January, we’ll feature more bacon. Because WE can eat it.

The Vilification Tennis Fringe Show: A one man musical interpretive dance about growing up as a gay single mom in the Midwest

With the Minnesota Fringe Festival just around the corner, it is time for us to make fun of everything that makes the fringe a favorite for all sorts of people who aren’t us. Join us as we present a one man musical interpretive dance about growing up a gay single mom in the midwest. We are hoping to have many well known fringers join us to make this a truly memorable show about a whole lot of truly forgettable theatre. We imagine most of them will turn us down. Pretentious jerks.

Vilification Tennis: The Biggest Loser

The return of our annual amateur show will pit aspiring vilifers against one another in a series of humiliating games that we call an “audition.” It could be a train wreck, it could be really funny. There is a good chance it will be both. The audience will be final judge of which amateur makes it to the final round and is crowned The Biggest Loser!

Take a Walk on the Wild side: The Vilification Tennis Sex with Animals show

Vilification Tennis celebrates animal husbandry. And animal wifery. This month’s show is specially tailored for folks who REALLY love animals. If beastiality isn’t your thing, you can still enjoy the hilarious improvisational comedy of the Mustache Rangers. Cabin fever must be setting in and it’s just you and the dog (who needs a break) anyway. Come on out and watch. We know you like to watch.

The Vilification Tennis Drinking Game – Friday, October 22nd & Saturday, October 23rd

We blatantly acknowledge what has always been obvious – we are a lot funnier when you are drunk. To ensure you enjoy our show as much as possible, we are going to help you out by playing all sorts of drinking games designed to make us extremely funny. The Bryant Lake Bowl has even put together a drink special for us called the “Fat Mom,” a bacon infused vodka martini with a bleu cheese olive garnish and a bacon chocolate chip cookie! Worried about how you are going to get home? Don’t! Soft drinks are free for designated drivers! So hand your keys over to someone and enjoy a drink or ten with Vilification Tennis.

Buy our S**t! A Vilification Tennis Salute to Black Friday – Saturday, November 27th

What better way to celebrate the holiday season than to pimp our shit? We’ll have a new T-shirt, new DVDs and other Vilification merchandise sure to convince you to part with your hard earned cash. You know your mom would like a new shirt, although we aren’t sure they make shirts in her size…

Scheduled Guests: Joseph Scrimshaw, more TBA
