We really nailed it with Joke Night, we think. Like…we’re not really “jokey” guys, but we think we wrote some solid punch lines and set-ups, etc. What a fun annual tradition!

During our time in Indianapolis, Scuba Mission stopped by the NCAA Hall of Champions. That means that in two trips to Indy, we’ve filmed segments at two museums (this one and the Children’s Museum). WHAT’S NEXT, HUH MUSEUMS?!
From this week’s NUVO - Indy’s Alternative Voice:
Shawn Bowers and Colin Hogan performed for only a handful of people on IndyFringe’s opening night, which is a shame because they delivered a hilarious sketch show that would have generated laughter heard up and down Mass Ave had it been in front of a full house. The two Chicagoans demonstrate mighty improv talent and strong chemistry during a series of fast-paced sketches exploring working life and under-employment. Of particular appeal and absurdity is the “Surf Shirt Lawyer/Volleyball Attorney at Law” sketch. Perhaps the 10:30 start time is to blame for the sparse opening night crowd. Whatever the case, add this show to your must- see list. - Matt McClure
Thanks for the kind words, Matt McClure! You helped us get a lot more audience than we would have had otherwise!
We know a lot of you like to watch our videos at work, so we took that feedback to heart and created a completely silent Scuba Mission video that you don’t have to turn the volume up to enjoy. SO WATCH IT.
Scuba Mission is premiering our next full show, Gainfully Employed, at the Indianapolis Fringe Festival in just a few short weeks! We’ll be there doing it Indy on the following dates:
If you’re around Indy or have friends in those parts, tell them to come check us out. We promise to be on our most performance-like behavior!
We take Man Versus Food to the next level by making it not food and adding more men. That’s the key to success, folks - bigger plus better equals a new video!
We both got new sunglasses and we’re super excited! Be excited with us! Please don’t not be excited!

We did some brand new material at the Playground on Tuesday night, opening for Claymore. We had a whopping six people in the audience, but boy did we make them laugh like there was twelve of them! Check it out.
Last night, I was going through an old notebook and came across a list of names from back when Scuba Mission was first forming. For those who were wondering, the name Scuba Mission was born from an overly scientific system of combining words that sounded good together until we found something that stuck. But what if we hadn’t have ended up on that particular combo?
Here, then, is a list of possible alternatives:
Battledudes
2 Cool Guyz
Firefoxes
Editor and Chief
Boxcar Men
Manbats
Self Edit
Newschopper Five
Financier
Bitchy and Houndstooth
Dog Floss
Snack and Grab
Too Men
Juice Catch
I think we can all agree that we lucked out with Scuba Mission.
Fun fact: Scuba Mission performs as part of a larger group called the Saddle Dads as well. This is from our last show we did at the Second City’s De Maat Theatre in Chicago. Also featuring Tim de la Motte and stuff. Check out the Saddle Dads website for more junk like this.
