About Late Night Grand Rapids

Late Night Grand Rapids (LNGR) began as a group proper early in the year of 2015, but consists of a core group of writers, actors, comedians and musicians who have worked together in various combinations for some time. Founded by comedian Alastair J. Watt, the other players, including Danielle Armstrong, Sean Francis, KJ Johnson, Laura Uzarski and Sarah Wenger soon followed. Taking cues from classic sketch show structure (Monty Python, SNL, etc.), but with a modern twist of incorporating audience suggestions and guest-submitted sketches, LNGR combines pre-written sketches with a wide berth for spontaneity, improv, and adlibbing. Almost everything is planned, except for the parts that aren’t. All of it is backed by their house band Whisky Dick & the Dead-Woods, a talented supergroup who are able to score the whole show deftly with any genre of music, from blues to rap to showtunes. Envisioned as a place to present their own material while giving an outlet for others to submit their work, LNGR is a group committed to giving back to the Grand Rapids comedy community, and every show incorporates a special guest host from the area. We will do our best, we will “yes and”, we will be experimental. We will fail, but we will also succeed. Hopefully more of the latter.
