[edit] Beer Shark Mice
Pat Finn performs regularly with his improv group Beer Shark Mice. The cast includes veteran comedians: Mike Coleman, Neil Flynn, Pete Hulne, David Koechner and Paul Vaillancourt.
For years, Beer Shark Mice has been performing to sold out houses at the IO West theatre in Los Angeles.
Prompted by a single suggestion from the audience, these five gifted performers attack the stage with comedic abandon. What unfolds can only be described as democratic anarchy: scenes and characters appear, transform, and reappear with such speed and become so intertwined that it is hard to believe they are making it up.
Voted Chicago Improv Festival’s Ensemble of the Year and considered one of the best long-form improvisational groups in the country, the cast, which includes Mike Coleman, Pat Finn, Neil Flynn, Peter Hulne and David Koechner, boasts an impressive list of credits, both collectively and individually (Scrubs, Anchorman, Seinfeld, American Body Shop, How High, My Boys, Ed, Mean Girls, Thank You for Smoking, SNL, among many others).
