About this show

Blank Page LIVE! SHOW DESCRIPTION: All books have a beginning, middle, and end. But what about the rest of the story? Join the cast of Blank Page live on stage at the Rockwell as they improvise entire books they’ve never heard of after reading just three pages! Have an unread book that’s been collecting dust on your bookshelf? Bring it with you and let us decide the story (and ruin the likelihood of you ever reading it)! So get ready to sit back, laugh, and watch a full-length narrative story be brought to life right in front of your ears AND eyes! Have an unread book that’s been collecting dust on your bookshelf?

ARTIST BIO: Ari Goldberg is the host and executive producer of Blank Page. He can often be found with a book written by Rick Riordan in his bag! Along with being a huge fan of the Percy Jackson universe, Ari is a Boston based improvisor with over a decade of performance under his belt. Short-form, long-form, sketch, he’s done it all! Catch him every Tuesday at Improv Asylum’s House Teams shows or listen to any number of his long running comedy podcasts like Crews Control, Yes And Dragons, and of course, Blank Page. Want another fun fact about Ari? The theme of his Bar Mitzvah was simply “books”! He was the COOLEST kid. You can find him on Instagram at @arithelionking. Bo Segrest is a writer and comedian based in Boston, MA. He has performed on house teams at Improv Asylum, and Harold nights at Union Comedy. He is also the producer of Modern Exhibits: a sketch comedy podcast, and he is the co-editor of Yesterday’s Magazine (a local print comedy publication.) When he is not doing comedy, Bo can be found reading pulpy books from the 50’s or simply frolicking. Kayla Hutchins is a Boston-based musician, improviser, and co-host of Blank Page. While this is her first live show about reading, Kayla has been reading into things her entire life. You can hear how this manifests into song by following @hutchins.wav on Instagram, or check out @kayla_hutchins for upcoming improv performances. Emma Skinner knows how to read. In addition to being one of the hosts of the world famous Blank Page podcast and a Boston-based improviser. Emma has read every non-fiction dog encyclopedia, Greek mythology picture book, and The Giver by Lois Lowry 18 times. You can catch them at Improv Asylum with the Main Stage Wednesday Company and last Thursday of every month with Fruit Basket! @emmaeskinner on Instagram August Kees was crowned champion of Reeves Middle School’s Battle of the Books competition. Other impressive accolades include reading all of Crime and Punishment without SparkNotes, and evading overdue library fees by fleeing his home state. August is a co-host on the Blank Page podcast, and the self-proclaimed bad boy of Improv Asylum. You can catch him every Tuesday at IA’s House Teams or on the last Thursday of every month with Fruit Basket! Keep up with @augustkees on Instagram! Creature doesn’t know how to read, but he loves to watch comedians read out loud. He is not an improviser, but he considers himself to be a “staple part of the community”. Creature does not know where he came from, or how old he is, but he doesn’t let that get him down! One day he hopes to be released from the podcast studio so he can pursue his dreams of public indecency.
