MURDERFIST

That moment on a haunted hayride when you suddenly realize what’s about to happen and part of you panics, part of you needs to see what’s in the dark woods? That’s Murderfist.

If you ask anyone that has seen this award winning sketch comedy group, they will say “it blew my mind. Amazing. I never want to watch anything else. Why did you miss it? You were so wrong. So wrong.” Murderfist is a favorite at comedy festivals, and that is an understatement.

Named Best Sketch Group at the 2010 ECNY Awards, Murderfist was “birthed from the festering arm pit of Florida. [They] were formed by a combination of college student, drifters & drug dealers, which are all basically the same thing anyway,” explains John Moreno. Murderfist consistently pushes the boundaries of comedy. For example, the thirteen hour-long show they did at the People’s Improv Theater (PIT) in NYC. They performed 110 sketches. No repeats. If that’s not impressive, you’re a liar.

Murderfist sketches are bizarre, dream-like drug sequences met with intelligence and impeccable comedic timing. They push the audience out of their comfort zone, while taking care of them. Just when you think they couldn’t possibly take a sketch too far, they push it just a little further. The Kissing Booth sketch, for example. We’ll let you experience it on your own time (NSFW):

When asked where they see the future of comedy going, Murderfist said they want to see “some real Running Man shit. Take murderers out of prisons and put them right back where they should have been since the beginning, in death match comedy! Sure OJ Simpson was funny in Naked Gun, but wouldn’t he be even funnier in a cage match against the Latin Kings. We’re changing the WORLD!”
Who would they love to share the stage with, living or dead? John Wilkes Booth, Groucho Marks and Bruce Vilance.

Join Murderfist on a “journey to the extreme horizon of your mind-ocean;” Friday September 6 at 1030PM in ImprovBoston’s Main Theater.
