REJECTEDfest 2010 has changed its name to Salon des Refusés, the Exhibition of Rejects! Don’t worry, Better Than The Machine is still a proud group of rejects in any language! Even French! Vive Better Than The Machine! Nous sommes perdants!
Hmmn… since I have no idea what I just said, I think we’ll stick to performing in English.
“Salon des Refusés takes in the forgotten. This one night only event showcases the overlooked, festival rejected, jilted, shunned sketch groups of the world!”
Better Than The Machine kicks off the last block of Salon des Refusés shows at 8:00 pm on June 12. After us, Foolhardy Manor, Dystopia Gardens (co-everything’d by our stage director Will Nunziata!), and Dominizuelan will each take their rejected acts to the stage for your amusement, whimsy, and tomato target throwing pleasure! Remember to bring your own tomatoes!*
It’s not important to know exactly which NYC sketch comedy festival rejected which hometown sketch comedy group for the fourth year in a row. This year somebody noticed that if they put together the best rejected comedy groups, they could hold one hell of another comedy festival. Better Than The Machine is proud to be a part of the first ever REJECTEDfest! It’s just like that other sketch comedy festival in NYC, but one block over and a couple blocks up.
REJECTEDfest 2010 starts at 6:00 pm on Saturday, June 12. There are three blocks of shows, each with four groups that perform 15 minutes of material. It will be held at The PIT (The Peoples Improv Theater).
We kick off the last block of shows at 8:00 pm. We’ll be doing 15 minutes of material. After us, Foolhardy Manor, Dystopia Gardens, and Dominizuelan will perform for 15 minutes each. Of particular interest in our block (other than our own REJECTED selves) is Dystopia Gardens, a sketchplay co-written by and co-starring our stage director Will Nunziata. The last block is gonna rock!
REJECTEDfest 2010 is playing at The PIT (The Peoples Improv Theater). The PIT is located at 154 W. 29th St. between 6th & 7th in NYC. For more information and ticketing, visit The PIT’s website.

Okay, I’ll admit we’re a little early for Mother’s Day. But it’s almost here and we just couldn’t wait to dedicate this video to the most important gals in our lives: our moms.
In this video, you’ll learn about what it’s like to be a single mother… of an adult cat. You’ll also learn what it’s like to be the boyfriend of of a single mother… of an adult cat. You know what, while we’re at it, we’ll just go ahead and dedicate this to all the mothers out there, no matter what kind of beasts your children may be.
