The L.A. Connection Comedy Group dubs THE BLOB at the Laemmle Royal Thursday February 11 at 10pm with a special bonus screening of the hit TV series Mad Movies.

The L.A. Connection (LAC) is proud to announce we have signed on with The Laemmle Royal Theater to dub a different classic film on the second Thursday of each month at 10pm, followed by a half-hour episode of the cult hit TV series “Mad Movies with the L.A. Connection” with a live appearance from creator/host Kent Skov.

The Sherman Oaks based comedy troupe has been dubbing old films since 1982. The process began with a live performance of “Attack of The 50 Foot Woman” at the Fox Venice Theater. Since then the group has dubbed hundreds of movies live and has produced the cult hit series “Mad Movies”, which was Nickelodeon’s top rated show for two years. LAC was also nominated for a CableAce Award in the “Best Comedy Special” category for dubbing a Sherlock Holmes classic on The A&E Network.

The Concept is simple. The actors sit in the front row armed with microphones and a live sound musician. LAC then eliminates the original soundtrack and the actors dub in a brand new hilarious comedy soundtrack live.

“The Blob” a horror classic, was created in 1958 and starred a then unknown Steve McQueen trying to save the town from a rampaging mass of man-eating intergalactic jelly. In the LAC’s dubbed version, the Blob is a vaudeville-style comedian from the outer limits who wants to muscle in on Steve’s one-man, stand-up act he’s trying to book on the Tonight Show. LAC has also added an animated mouth onto the Blob and turned him into a Henny Youngman-esque wisecracker with the graces of Henny Youngman himself. LA Times gave this dubbing a “Best Bet”. Village View wrote, “The cleverly synched integration of words and action is expert and minutely observed.“ Hollywood Reporter wrote, “Anyone who’s attended these affairs can attest to the group’s amazing flights of mirthful invention.”
