Movie Libs for the Comedy Spot

Welcome to Big Day of Giving!

MOVIE LIBS is the online show where you help us revamp scenes from famous movies or TV shows! Tune in to help our actors fill in the gaps, and then watch the scenes we wrote together. It's a little janky and a lot of fun. We'll be having a reunion fundraiser show on Tuesday, April 29, at 6pm PT! Join us via Comedy Spot's Facebook page, YouTube channel, or Twitch channel to be part of the show!

Cast: Coreen Lemcke, Charlie Lemcke, Stacey Cochran, Tina Jett, and Marco Cabodi, with Dayna Bryant on tech

OUR HISTORY
We would not exist without Sacramento Comedy Spot. Movie Libs made its debut during the theater's livestream campaign for Big Day of Giving in 2020, and ran for 4 years + 7 months + 11 days, and 169 total episodes. (It is pretty much tradition at this point that we continue with an annual reunion show for Big Day of Giving, right?)

The Comedy Spot generously offers opportunities for comedy ideas of all shapes, sizes, and mediums to develop and find their voice. It brings together people from many different cultural backgrounds and walks of life to create a third space away from home and work. It fosters positivity, mental well-being, and community through laughter. Every one of us in Movie Libs has found a second home and extended family at this theater.

How to Participate

DONATE! – The Comedy Spot goal for 2025 is $20,000. You can donate any time between midnight on April 17 and 11:59pm on May 1st. Contributions made through the Movie Libs page will be added to the Comedy Spot's overall tally. 

New this year: In addition to credit card, you can now make online donations through this portal using Venmo, PayPal, or Google Pay! Don't forget to see if your employer offers matching donations. 

OUR 2025 CHALLENGES

• Pick Our Movies! From Thursday, April 17 through Friday, April 25, every $15 of donations placed through this Movie Libs page counts as 1 raffle ticket. On April 26, we will draw and contact 5 winners. Each winner will then choose ONE movie for us to perform a scene from during our show on Tuesday, April 29! These can be old favorites, or something brand-new-to-us.

• Show Challenges, Chosen by YOU! Aside from the chance to pick our movies, we will be accepting challenges throughout our show on April 29. Want to see one of us switch up to another accent? Another celebrity? Use the word 'fiddlefork' every line? Show us the donations, and we will be at your mercy!

• Bonus Show! If we reach our page goal of $2,000 (towards the Comedy Spot goal of $20,000), we will do another show very soon! Those raffle entries that didn't get to pick a scene for the April 29th show will be entered in another drawing to select scenes for our future show.

WATCH IMPROV FIGHT CLUB! – On Big Day of Giving proper, May 1, the Comedy Spot is hosting Improv Fight Club, a long-standing tradition, live on stage at the Comedy Spot at 7pm PT. Teams of house performers take turns showing off their skills and creativity in two rounds, with the winner being chosen by audience vote. Improv Fight Club tickets are $15 for either in-person admission or a livestream link to watch online. All ticket sales will be added to the Comedy Spot goal.
