Thrilling Adventure Hour Poster
If you’re in the L.A. area and you haven’t had a chance to check out The Thrilling Adventure Hour, do yourself a favor and pick up tickets to their next show. It’s like a younger, more absurd version of A Prairie Home Companion — actors on stage reading lines in the style of an old-time radio broadcast. And along with the super-talented main cast (the Work Juice Players, who include people like Paul F. Tompkins, John DiMaggio, and the lovely Annie Savage), the monthly guest stars are like a who’s who of comedic actors. The first show I went to guest-starred Nathan Fillion and The Kids in the Hall’s Dave Foley, among others. I’ve also seen Michael Hogan, Chris Hardwick, Allison Brie, Colin Hanks and a ton of other very funny people at the shows, which are staged at a cozy little theatre called Largo at the Coronet. If you can’t make it to a show, check out their podcast, which they just launched at the beginning of the year.
I fell in love with this show the first time I went, and I’ve been back several times. A few days ago, it occurred to me that their old-timey theme would fit in perfectly with my retro art style, so I asked them on Twitter if I could design a poster for them. They replied with, “We would love if you made us a poster! Get in touch through the website.” Naturally, this made my day, and I set right to work coming up with something.
I was so inspired that I had an idea straight off the bat, which was to feature one of their main segments, “Sparks Nevada: Marshal on Mars”. The skit follows the adventures of a earthling law man and his martian companion, Croach the Tracker, who is grudgingly under onus to Sparks for saving his people.
I’m not sure what the folks at The Thrilling Adventure Hour will do with the poster, but it was fun getting to play in their world for a bit!
