NCShakes Final Friday Series Opens April 27 With Comedy Troupe Nekkid Feet
The North Carolina Shakespeare Festival is launching a new monthly series of entertainment events, Final Friday, which will open on April 27 with a performance by the Winston-Salem improv comedy group Nekkid Feet.
Events will take place on the last Friday evening of each month at the festival’s headquarters, Spirit Center, located at 807 W. Ward Avenue in High Point. The series is sponsored by High Point Bank.
“In addition to the festival’s world-class theatre productions and educational programming, we want to lead the way in offering other activities for people in High Point to enjoy,” said NCShakes President and CEO Wil Elder. “Nekkid Feet, for instance, is something new and different in this area, and we think that this will have wide appeal – particularly to the young professionals who are looking for things to do closer to home.”
Nekkid Feet performs regularly at Winston-Salem’s Community Arts Café in their own shows and as part of the popular “Comedy Potluck.” Their interactive style of performing, where the troupe improvises routines based on suggestions from audience members, reminds many viewers of the hit TV show “Whose Line is it, Anyway?,” says its “captain,” T.J. Walker.
"We like to run a PG-13 show – innuendo and double entendre, but we don't go too blue,” Walker says. “We keep our audience entertained without performing in the gutter."
Final Friday kicks off on April 27 from 7:30-9 p.m. at Spirit Center; doors open at 7 p.m. Parking is available on site. The event is limited to ages 18 and up. Admission is $10 at the door, with beer, wine and other refreshments available for purchase.
