John Witherspoon hits the Improv

By Andrea Grimes

Published on March 27, 2008

You might think you've made it in show business when you've been in one slacker drug film, but you really haven't reached the pinnacle of success until you're in the sequel to that slacker drug film too. That's how I know John Witherspoon's upcoming headlining stint at the Addison Improv is going to be gold: Witherspoon's starred in both Friday and Next Friday. Which were both totally hilarious, even if I can't really remember why. Hrm, all of a sudden I want some Doritos. Weird. Sadly, Witherspoon didn't make it into Friday After Next. He did play Pop on the WB series The Wayans Brothers, but don't hold it against him. Instead, check out his stage presence this Thursday through Sunday at the Addison Improv, 4980 Belt Line Road. Showtimes are Thursday at 8:30 p.m.; Friday at 8 and 10 p.m.; Saturday at 6:30, 9 and 11:30 p.m.; and Sunday at 7:30 p.m. Call 972-404-8501 or visit improvclubs.com.
