Since 2008, The Tuxedo Tyrants, have dressed up in their fanciest garb and descended on numerous Los Angeles neighborhoods, with their saucy behavior and tall tales of their exploits.

THIS MONTH’S PUBLIC IMPROV STORY
Conway Industries is celebrating the launch of Dream Therepy service SomniActive which allows clients to record dream imagery and review them for their entertainment.

CHARITABLE ACTION

“Deception, secrets, and lies often prevent people from obtaining the necessary health care they need.

The Real Medicine Foundation is dedicated to improving health care to under privileged communities throughout the world from Indonesia to Sub-Saharan Africa to Boyle Heights. “

UPDATE 5/6: Over $1021.14 raised! (Plus addition matched: $2521.14!)
Andrew McGregor, of the Tiziano Project & LA Chessboxing, replied:
“Thank you, Tuxedo Tyrants! Besides your generous donation, I also received a matching donation of $1,000 from a donor and another person pledged $500 after seeing the event.
The Tuxedo Tyrants event and the subsequent ‘Fast Company‘ article helped validate chessboxing as a business venture so I turned it into an LLC after the event! Once implemented, 75% of our chessboxing revenue will go to Tiziano, especially when grants and philanthropists are hard to come by.
In conclusion, I see this event as being an awesome morale and community booster, and spurring the launch of a business that should provide hundreds of thousands of dollars to Tiziano over the next few years.
Bless you!”
UPDATE 4/23: Event is sold out. If you RSVP’d, an email will soon be going out with the fight location. If you didn’t RSVP, the post fight Bar Crawl is open to all: We’ll be at the first bar by around 11pm.
