Every week the dudes from OK Party get together and have a game night. Local videographer Ben Semisch was lucky enough to get invited and filmed this video so you too can see how a mediocre comedy group from the middle of nowhere works. Enjoy!
Our good friend Ben Semisch took pictures of us looking like disturbed cretins! They are wonderful, check them all out here:

If you ever need pictures taken, contact Ben…he is a gentle giant.
We also shot a new “sketch” video with Ben. Look forward to seeing that soon!
The newest episode of our Explosivo! podcast is now up.
Every month we have a showcase comedy show at The Slowdown and record it live. Our next Explosivo! is on Feb 16th…and it is FREE. Come party! http://www.facebook.com/events/356267024400607/
Also, our very own Zach Peterson wrote a great article about the podcasts he enjoys for Omahype. Check it out here:

Due to some wild winter weather the OK Party at CAMP show tonight has been postponed. We will keep you posted on its future date…in the mean time start a fire in your house and sharpen your axes. Keep warm friends!
For the first time ever, OK Party will be combining forces with our friends at CAMP Co-working (http://campcoworking.com/).
Expect some wild comedy of the stand up and sketch variety.
OK Party will be bringing along their good friends:
Greg Jaxies
John Thome
Destiny Sturdivant
and more!
Show starts at 9. Suggested donation of $5, BYOB!
(it is also Ian’s birthday, so don’t bring him anything)
Here is some footage of OK Party’s Chris Larkin and Zach Peterson opening for Rob Delaney in front of over four hundred happy faces. Thanks Omaha!

Also check out our newest podcast offering, Explosivo! Great stand up bits from OK Party and friends:
Pictured are the victors of our Battle Royale III at The Waiting Room - Greg Jaxies, Chris Larkin, and Sarah Gupta. Congratulations to Sarah for being our first female champion…as well as our first “first-timer” champion. What a gal!
OK Party is not yet officially a year old, but what a year we had. The shows keep getting bigger and better and more and more new comedians are springing up around Omaha. That’s why we do what we do, to encourage and foster an actual scene here in Omaha that can support national acts and more fun for everyone. So thank you to everyone who came out to an OK Party show in 2011, and everyone who stepped up to the mic in one. We have some great plans for the future (more national comedians and more monthly shows), so let’s make 2012 another great year for Omaha comedy!
- Mike, Zach, Casey, Chris, Jason, and Ian.

OK Party is giving you the gift of comedy this holiday season.

Second, we are doing another Comedy Battle Royale on December 28th at The Waiting Room…with a lot of brand new faces its going to be a wild one:

Both shows are free and have enough alcohol to cover up your holiday depression!
Come party, we promise it will be OK.
This is what happens when the OK Party guys get free booze and access to a green room.
Check out this awesome video our friends at Sound Surveillance made of our last show.
Thanks Ben!

We are proud to announce that OK Party has expanded with the additions of Jason Miller and Casey Crawford. Two dudes with big beards. Other Omaha comedians will post on the internet about how they’re the best…but these two humble guys let their sets do the talking.
