<b>Something Dada Celebrates 15 Years of Comedy in Cleveland at<br>DADA XV: Something Dada’s 15th Anniversary</b><br><br>CLEVELAND: Fifteen years ago, eight performers who shared a love of improv comedy came together with a common goal: to create a professional troupe of players committed to bringing Cleveland the best improvisational comedy it had ever seen.<br>
<br>“Fifteen years ago, no one in Cleveland was doing improvisational or sketch comedy,” says Russel Stich, one of the eight. “Something Dada changed all of that.”<br><br>Little did these trailblazing performers know just how successful their idea would prove to be. Though the venues have changed and the cast has constantly evolved, after 15 years, the legacy of Something Dada Improvisational Comedy Co. continues.<br>
<br>DADA XV: Something Dada’s 15th Anniversary celebrates this long legacy on Saturday October 10. This year’s anniversary party—the only fundraiser of the year—will be bigger than ever before, with more prizes, more auction items, and more alumi returning to perform on the Dada stage.<br>
<br>“Something Dada has provided training and performance experience for about 125 actors and musicians over the last fifteen years. Former members of Something Dada are working all over the country, thanks to the start they got here in Cleveland,” says Stich, who is also the current general manger for the group.<br>
<br>DADA XV will include food, drink, prizes and an auction featuring items that have been generously donated by local businesses. The main event of the evening will be a classic Dada performance, filled with predictably hilarious unpredictability. The doors will open at 8 p.m. and the show will begin at 9 p.m. The show takes place at Dada’s performance home in the Wooltex Gallery at The Tower Press Building, 1900 Superior Avenue, Cleveland. Tickets for this fundraiser are $20 at the door, or $15 pre-sale (online only.) Reservations can be made, tickets can be purchased and more info can be found at <a href="http://www.somethingdada.com" target="_blank">www.somethingdada.com</a> or by calling 216.696.HAHA (4242). The party continues after the show at Becky’s Bar and Grill, located around the corner from The Tower Press at 1762 E. 18th Street, Cleveland.<br>
<br>All Something Dada shows are based completely on audience suggestions, meaning no two shows are ever the same. Something Dada presents its signature brand of fast-paced, in your face, hilarious improv comedy every Friday and Saturday at 8:00 p.m. at The Tower Press Building. Something Dada also performs for private events, corporate functions, school groups, community festivals and more. <br>
