  • 1920s Roaring 20s Jazz, Speakeasy, Organized Crime & Murder Mystery

    1920s Roaring 20s Jazz, Speakeasy, Organized Crime & Murder Mystery

    I love doing 1920s Murder Mystery shows.

    Early on I loved old MGM musicals about the 1920s, vaudeville and burlesque by Bob Hope, Gene Kelly and others. As a teen I played trumpet and piano in Jazz bands, including dixieland ensembles with my father (a) trombone player. Later in college, as I switched to theater, mostly Broadway & Opera, I performed in many “jazzy” shows, learning how to Tap Dance, swing and sing.

    In my 20s, I fell in love with the Godfather 2 and the history of Irish and Italian New York “families”. Part Sheehan & Murphy, I am a descendant from Irish Americans on both sides of the family. As an opera singer, I fell in love with great Italian food. Since 2012 I have been playing Santa Claus on Arthur Ave, the REAL Little Italy of New York.

    Combine all that, and 20+ years in Improv Comedy, completely immersing myself in a speakeasy or similar show just seems right. Perhaps the most natural next step in my career.

    These days I run 2-3 Murder Mysteries every week, from Clue Parties to full blown dinner theater style shows. I’m on the road 2-10 hours a day. I’m eating a lot of great event food.

    It’s not for everyone, but I love it. And like my improv comedy shows, any given night I get to play, using my talents as a singer, actor, dancer and comic. Sometimes I even get to play a little piano, or sing an Italian song with my uke.

    If you’re looking for something different, our shows are incredibly unique. Especially my Madcapped Mysteries and original Clue Parties that get your guests playing zany characters.

    Just like my improv shows and workshops, my mission is to spread joy and laughter, while building communities. In every show, I get a moment to be a fly on the wall, watching the fruits of our labors, as folks deliberate final solutions to the mysteries. Watching folks smile, rise to the challenges, collaborating with each other…. it’s what keeps me going at 2am driving home from some remote town upstate, Boston, DC, Pennsylvania or similar long-distance destination. The drives there are always gorgeous and the rides home are always long. But the 2-3 hours we get to entertain… priceless!

    We bring interactive, immersive entertainment to venues, homes and offices for any occasion. We have shows for any budget, group size and / or venue. Let our detectives lead your team / family of suspects or engage our entire team of zany characters. Let us turn your restaurant into a murder mystery dinner theater. We are ready to serve up the crime drama.

  • Madcapped Mysteries: The Most Original Murder Mystery Show EVER!!!

    The most original murder mystery show EVER, Madcapped Mysteries is a huge hit with corporate events, birthday oarties and even teen/tween events. Our top detective leads the event attendees in creating a completely original crime story.

    PICTURED: Walt Frasier at a Post Wine & Spirits, Larchmont, NY, whose celler is an actual historical speakeasy from the 1920s. It was the perfect setting for wine tasting, cheese plates and Madcapped Mysteries!

    Madcapped Mysteries

    The first few minutes is a live action MADLIBS style exposition. The detective’s opening monologue is completed with guests filling in the blanks. A true audience collaboration helps establish the crime – victim, location and means of the dastardly deed.

    THEN some or all (depending on size of crowd) of the audience become characters in the story, from friends and family, to colleagues at work or fellow students and miscellaneous towns folks (Mayor, police chief, CSI forensics, etc).

    THEN our detective names a few as their formal suspects and everyone else is deputized as a detective to interogate suspects, collaborate and solve the crime, usually in small teams.

    The show ends with our detective reading some or all of the final solutions. This is a common thread in just about every show, but the answers in a Madcapped Mysteries show are the most fun, and by far 💯 original. One team is named the winner. Prizes are also awarded to best actor, costume and more, as per audience votes.

    BOOK YOUR NEXT EVENT TODAY

    This is one of our #1 selling Shows at Improv Theater LLC. We also have more traditional Clue Parties, full cast murder mystery dinner theater shows (with four or more actors) and of course Improv Comedy, Corporate Team Building events, college and university campus activities and k12 schools education outreach and family events.
