Cathcart & Olson's Blurbs

About me:
Hailed as "a trip out of the mundane and into something ORIGINAL and FUN" by Centerstage Chicago, Cathcart & Olson perform rapid-fire duet improvisation that celebrates and analyzes current trends, human behavior, and the struggle to maintain balance in a chaotic world. Characterized by strong relationships, vibrant characters, and rich slice-of-life comedy, each scene is a tightly wound drama that happens to be hilarious.

"Melissa Cathcart and Jay Olson are a STRONG TEAM, working well together and exhibiting GREAT CHARISMA" - The Chicago Reader

"Cathcart and Olson, who happen to be married to each other, provide an INTERESTING DYNAMIC...it's obvious some of their POLISHED HUMOR comes from working together " - Daily Southtown

Wall-B	Feb 17 2008 3:34 PM I think it's Jay's birthday today. Or maybe it's Melissa's. Or maybe it's your anniversary or the day you started performing. Either way, I have a note that says it's someone's birthday, so I hope that person or entity has an awesome day.

Wall-B	Jan 2 2008 11:48 PM Fact: Remove your helmet in an improv scene and something will hit you in the head.
Wall-B	Jan 1 2008 7:58 AM If 2007 was a movie, 2008 is the sequel. Let's make it more an "Empire Strikes Back" or "Godfather II" than a "Porky's II: The Next Day" or "The Chronicles of Riddick."
