Song lyrics and celebrities
Tony Danza clears up the confusion:
Elton John gets it
Here’s the cover for tonight’s program. Hands up if you get the reference! Anybody? Anybody?
Jon Lee-Son, Richmond Arts Award winner!
TMP is very proud to announce that our very own Jon Lee-Son has won a Richmond Arts Award! Jon received his award in the category of Arts Education, which, to quote the city’s description, “recognizes an individual or organization whose achievements and contributions to arts education have been significant and far reaching.”
We are, of course, very proud of Jon and all that he’s done for TMP and for the city of Richmond. To celebrate those achievements, here’s a drawing of Jon as Wolverine:
Truly, Jon is the best at what he does. Congrats, Jonny.
In case you missed the late 80s
There’s nothing more nostalgically pleasing than the familiar theme from an old TV show. With that in mind, here’s something for those of you who remember a simpler time, when former St. Louis Cardinals infielders worked as line-in nannies for high-powered ad execs.
Also, come see our Who’s The Boss? Improv, coming up on May 10 at the Richmond Arts Centre!
3D IMPROV!
October’s program featured this headache-inducing cover, which probably is not actually 3D in any way shape or form.

Iconic Pickle Photos: Altitude Sickness
A search through the Pickle archives uncovered this shot of our mascot from back in the day, when he was working on the RCA building in 1932. You’d be surprised at how many improv group mascots get their starts in the construction industry.
If you know what he’s thinking, head to our Facebook page and put it in a comment!
Pickle in the News: In the middle of that riot…
Remember that couple photographed kissing during the riot? Turns out there was a shot that didn’t make the front page.
