Doug Benson from Last Comic Standing and Super High Me at the Drafthouse with Opener Graham Elwood

  Special 25th Drafthouse Anniversary Event
Special Two Headliner for One Price Comedy Event!
Doug Benson & Graham Elwood - Two Headliner Comics for the Price of One!
It would take too long to cite all of his credits, but here’s a small sampling: He has his own documentary called Super High Me based on a joke from his standup act. It’s available on DVD! How does a little show called NBC’s Last Comic Standing grab you? Fact: he finished top six in the 2007 season, no big deal. Doug is a series regular on VH1’s Best Week Ever. He also makes recurring appearances on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live. His second Comedy Central Presents half-hour special premiered in January ’09. He had the nerve to hit on Jennifer Aniston on the classic sitcom Friends, is a character on The Sarah Silverman Program, and oops, almost forgot, got Larry David in a headlock on HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm. If that’s not enough for you, he’s a creator/writer/star of The Marijuana-Logues, a show that’s been a hit (small pun intended) in clubs and theatres from Los Angeles to New York – and drew a bongload of rave reviews. Now there’s a CD, also called The Marijuana-Logues, and a book, The Marijuana-Logues: Everything About Pot That We Could Remember. In 2006, High Times Magazine named him Stoner of the Year. Doug also expresses his love of movies on his I Love Movies podcasts (available on iTunes). Enough about Doug Benson already!
Graham Elwood
High-Octane good times are had by all when Graham Elwood hits the stage. A 2nd degree yellow belt in karate, Elwood has the strength and skill to fight a puppy and the elderly. Some of Graham’s TV apparences are “The Late Late Show” on CBS, “The Sarah Silverman Program” on Comedy Central. As a game show host on tier 3 cable. He was also seen in “Super High Me,” and “The High Road, ” on G4.

 Special 25th Drafthouse Anniversary Event
Taste Local and National Craft Beers. Dogfish, Flying Dog, Stone, Sam Adams, Star Hill, Heavy Seas and Many More. Beer Tasting is Optional and at an Additional Expense.
In America, size matters. The bigger you are, the more power you have, especially in the business world.
Director Anat Baron takes you on a no holds barred exploration of the U.S. beer industry that ultimately reveals the truth behind the label of your favorite beer. Told from an insider’s perspective, the film goes behind the scenes of the daily battles and all out wars that dominate one of America’s favorite industries.
Beer Wars begins as the corporate behemoths are being challenged by small, independent brewers who are shunning the status quo and creating innovative new beers. The story is told through 2 of these entrepreneurs – Sam and Rhonda – battling the might and tactics of Corporate America. We witness their struggle to achieve their American Dream in an industry dominated by powerful corporations unwilling to cede an inch.
This contemporary David and Goliath story is ultimately about keeping your integrity (and your family’s home) in the face of temptation. Beer Wars is a revealing and entertaining journey that provides unexpected and surprising turns and promises to change the world’s opinion on those infamous 99 bottles of beer on the wall.

Raspberry Brothers - Back To The Future

 Live Comedy & Movie
With great excitement, the Arlington Drafthouse brings you a team of NYC comedians called the Raspberry Brothers. Their assignment: to mock the crap out of Hollywood films. This time they're taking you back to the future...2.
Why, you ask? Back To The Future movies kick ass. That's why.
1) Corny lines. Bring 'em!
Lou: You gonna order something, kid?
Marty McFly: Ah, yeah. Give me - Give me a Tab.
Lou: Tab? I can't give you a tab unless you order something.
Marty McFly: All right, give me a Pepsi Free.
Lou: You want a Pepsi, PAL, you're gonna pay for it.
2) Make sense? Who cares! It takes 88 miles an hour to go back in time? Yup!
3) Historical rewriting- Rock n' Roll was invented by a very white teenager. Sure!
4) Corporate sponsorship? In every scene! Thank you Pepsi. Nike. Burger King. Mattel. Texaco.
How gloriously American this film is. Let's celebrate with live comedy, beer, and crab cake sandwiches. The Drafthouse has 'em all!

from Super Troopers and Beerfest), Improv, Original Films, and Q & A

Searchlight), which premiered at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival and was released
worldwide in February 2002. Besides earning $20 million at the box office, Super
Troopers also found a massive audience in the home video market, selling over five
million copies on DVD. They followed Super Troopers with yet another cult favorite,
the horror-comedy Club Dread (Fox Searchlight) which was released in February of
2004.
In 2005, the group co-wrote and acted in the film remake of the popular 70’s television
series The Dukes of Hazzard (Warner Bros), which was directed by Chandrasekhar. They
followed their work on Dukes of Hazzard with Beerfest, released in August 2006, and
most recently The Slammin’ Salmon released in 2009.
Their successful stand up tour of 2009 was captured in concert and will air on Comedy
Central in Fall, 2010 and their DVD “Broken Lizard Stands Up” will be released in the
Fall as well.
Broken Lizard is returning to their sketch comedy roots. Join all five members as they
present stand-up and live sketches (including appearances by characters from Super

FX's The League Live Featuring Paul Scheer, Nick Kroll, Stephen Rannazzisi & Jon Lajoie
Schedule

 Special 25th Drafthouse Anniversary Event
LIVE STAND-UP COMEDY with The League Stars; Paul Scheer, Nick Kroll, Stephen Rannazzisi & Jon Lajoie
Fantasy football is supposed to provide an outlet for good-natured competition and camaraderie between friends and colleagues, but that’s not always the case. In FX’s comedy series, The League, deception, one-upmanship and a win-at-all costs mentality rule the day on the virtual gridiron and then extend into personal relationships, marriages and the workplace.
The League was created by the husband-and-wife team of Jeff Schaffer (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld) and Jackie Marcus Schaffer (Disturbia, Eurotrip) who serve as executive producers and directors. The series is produced by FX Productions.
The premise of FX's The League—five male friends who bond over a fantasy football league—seems to promise an endless parade of bro-tastic humor and fart jokes, not to mention references that would fly over the head of anyone who hasn't spent a Sunday afternoon worrying over the tiniest of NFL statistics. Thankfully, the show's loose comedic vibe and ensemble of gawky funnymen just short of their big break doesn't allow The League to devolve into a primordial ooze of Axe Body Spray, Doritos, and Peyton Manning's passing yardage. Four of those comedians—man of a million grating-yet-hilarious characters Nick Kroll; Human Giant's Paul Scheer; Internet sensation Jon Lajoie; and spiky-haired anecdotalist Stephen Rannazzisi—appear here to promote the show's upcoming second season, if not to give their individual laugh stats a little boost as well.
