Since
1981, the Troupers have brought laughs to thousands of residents and visitors
of Southern California with their unique and hilarious blend of high-camp
comedy skits. They’ve performed weekly
engagements at well known Los Angeles clubs including Studio One, the Apache,
Oil Can Harry’s and Rage. The Troupers
also performed engagements at clubs and events in Santa Barbara, Long Beach,
Laguna Beach, Palm Springs and San Diego.
The
popularity of the Troupers show and great audience response has gained them the
notoriety as “Southern California’s funniest high-camp comedy ensemble.”
Their
active involvement in the Gay community has been very visible through their
performances on the Main Stage for nine (9) Los Angeles Gay Pride festivals,
Palm Springs Pride, and participation in numerous fund-raisers for AIDS support,
research organizations and programs; Guide Dogs for the Blind; Orphan Pet Oasis
of the Desert; and many others. Through fund raising events and audience
support, the Troupers have donated food and durable goods, and raised thousands
of dollars almost every year for important community organizations.
In
1997, The Troupers changed their calendar from weekly shows in Los Angeles to
monthly performances and other special event engagements in Palm Springs, and
play to packed houses at every show.
From their vast collection of skits, the Troupers
create a different show each month.
Some of their audience favorites include tributes and spoofs of famous
TV shows; musical groups from the 50’s
to today; movies and Broadway
shows; various camp take-offs of well
known actors, singers and performers;
and numerous original comedy sketches.
Other skits lampoon veteran icons of the Gay community, and new
creations are added to shows on a regular basis to satirize current local and
world events.
The Troupers perform their hilarious high-camp
comedy show at 6pm every first Saturday of the month at Hunters Nightclub inPalm Springs, CA. The only exception to
their schedule is that in November, their show is on the second Saturday.
