Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood

of \"Whose Line Is It Anyway?\"

to appear in San Pedro, CA

Warner Grand Theatre Sunday December 5 7:00 PM

Following the enormous success of ABC's \"Whose Line Is It Anyway?\" Colin

Mochrie and Brad Sherwood, two stars of the Emmy nominated series, have

teamed up to present an evening of extraordinary improvisational comedy.

The performance is coming to San Pedro's Warner Grand Theatre on December

5, 2004 at 7:00pm, as a benefit event for the PeaceJam Foundation www.peacejam.org.

The evening will include special music from \"The Who\", and surprise celebrity

appearances.

General admission tickets go on sale November 1 at www.warnergrand.org for

$50.

---------------------------------------------

Using their quick wit, Mochrie and Sherwood take contributions from the

audience to create hilarious and original scenes. Throughout the evening,

the show becomes truly interactive as audience members are called to the

stage to participate in the fun. Their high-profile presentations have played

to sold-out theaters and universities all over the country.

Due to the overwhelming response of \"Whose Line Is It Anyway\"? both Mochrie

and Sherwood can be seen performing over fifteen times a week, between ABC,

Comedy Central, and ABC Family. Mochrie & Sherwood are also starring along

with Drew Carey and other top improvisers in the \"Green Screen\", a new improv

series premiering this October of the WB network.

Colin Mochrie began his Improv career when he was first introduced to Ryan

Stiles by a friend and the two teamed up. Shortly after doing Expo '86,

Colin moved to Toronto. There, he auditioned for The Second City (a famous

North American comedy theater), where Stiles was working at the time. Mochrie

worked in The Second City for three years.

Mochrie's first appearance on \"Whose Line is it Anyway\", the British version,

was in 1991. His role on the American \"Whose Line\" got off to a rocky start

when ABC wanted to drop Mochrie because they thought the comedian looked

too old and not hip enough. Thankfully those involved in the show held their

ground, and ABC was smart enough to see that talent and creativity were

more important than 'hip' and the fans agreed, making Mochrie a popular

mainstay on the American ?Whose Line? stage.

Lately Mochrie has been as busy as ever. He spent last summer touring with

the Improv All Stars, and in the fall he continued to travel with An

Evening with Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood. He's been heavily involved

in independent and small movie projects and is even involved in 'The Movie

Co-op', which is a Canadian venture to help produce great Canadian movies

funded by and run by the artists themselves. Mochrie also has a new CBC

television project currently in development with his wife Debra McGrath.

Brad Sherwood, who is originally from Santa Fe, is a regular cast member

on ABC's \"Whose Line is it Anyway?\" He was also a regular for three seasons

on the British version of \"Whose Line.\" His past credits include The Drew

Carrey Show, a season on L.A. Law as Jill Eikenberry's love-struck nanny,

and a cast member on The Newz, a critically acclaimed sketch-comedy series.

Recently, Sherwood appeared as a regular on \"To Tell the Truth,\" Drew Carey

Live and was an Improv All-Star on Showtime's Live from Vegas.
