We have an audio sketch featured in this weeks edition of "The Sound of Young America," a great comedy podcast recently profiled in Time Magazine.

Listen at www.maximumfun.org.

We are proud as pie to announce that we have been invited to perform in Sketchfest NYC again this year... We will present a host of new material for this esteemed comedy summit... venue details to follow. Thank you SFNY!

The last time anyone has seen our stuff was at the Toronto Sketch Fest this winter. The last time we performed was in Hot Tub last fall at the PIT. Needless to say, our absence from the merry stage must be accounted for:

FLF has been working very hard for the last several months on a television pilot. We are allied warmly with a fantastic producer, a crew, some funding, some equipment, and a number of exciting wigs. We specially thank Dan Klein, Josh BarLev, our friends from The Colbert Report, and Robert McCormack the Lighting God, who have made shooting very easy thus far.

Our pilot will be finished in June, and we hope to hold some test screenings... If you're interested in attending, sign up for the mailing list below.

In the meantime, stay tuned for continued video, pod,
and text updates

Much thanks to all that made our West End show and PIT appearance a glorious success. FreeLoveForum is proud to announce that two of our sketches have been chosen for a screening at the Toronto Sketch Fest. If for some reason you can't make it to Toronto's Gladstone Hotel on Saturday, November 26th at 6pm, then check out 'DaddyandSon' and 'Bear in the Field' in our video section to see what we're exporting.

Currently FLF is in the development stage of a new (as yet undisclosed) project. Rest assured, it's the biggest thing we've ever undertaken, and it promises to demand a lot of time and energy. We'd also like to belatedly congratulate FLF's Gabe Gronli on his new position at Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report."

In the meantime, stay tuned for continued video, pod, and text updates.

THANK YOU NEW YORKERS!

Well the inaugural NYC performances have slipped into the ether leaving but sweet memories. These memories are due in part to the organizers of SketchFest knowing how to make a troupe feel welcome. We couldn't have dreamt a better way of meeting New York's awesome sketch comedy community, and are becoming increasingly psyched about adopting the town this fall.

Additional warm recollections are attributed to the Olde English crew and The PIT. The night before our SketchFest show we shared the bill with Olde English at The People's Improv Theater, performing to a hot and happy packed house. Earlier in the week the two groups formally met over drinks after a long, protracted online courtship. Having enjoyed the other's company, we hope to try it again some time in the near future.

Though not expecting any real mention in SketchFest NYC's press, we actually ended up with a little. Just before converging in New York, we read that we were "the big group that came out of absolutely nowhere." Actually we've been together for 9 years (on and off) but still, it's a nice complement (nobody told them, it's fine). Then SketchFest was written up in TimeOut-NY, where we were described as a "particularly pleasant discovery... whose surreal wit outclasses the work of many of their big-city competitors." A bit much maybe, but expect to see it plastered on future promotionals.

To top it all off people really enjoyed our show. Not that anybody would have noticed, but in actual fact the show was the final stage in our thesis on distance comedy. Over the past three months, with our members spread across three US states, we demonstrated that the Internet and conference calls are viable means of comedy collaboration. Our move to NYC will mark the first time in years we've been able to work outside semester breaks (see 'cause most of us recently graduated college).

Finally, we are ever grateful to: Ali Farahnakian and the amazing PIT staff. We'd also like to give a big non-sexual embrace to the SketchFest NYC organizers who were incredibly kind and brought us a community: Elizabeth Ellis, Becky Poole, Alexander Zalben, and Keith Michel. And as always, a very special thanks to Sebastian for doing our tech last week and producing FreeLoveForum's music. If you missed our PIT show then you also missed a great Thinktank Animation by Sebastian and Jeremy.

Oh and finally–finally, we'll be posting the sketches premiered in NYC shortly, followed by a cut of the entire show. Plus a reminder: the site will soon be changing it's look dramatically. Stay tuned...
