“Cat & Vegas nicely juggled the difficult task of generating musically palatable interlocking vocals while weaving a psychedelic disco full of dreamsicles and swinging barbecues.

Cat & Vegas, a history.
Hey, we’re Cat and Vegas and we’re an improv comedy band that performs on-the-spot songs inspired by live-audience prompts. We’ve improvised hundreds of songs with our audiences, which is more than Taylor Swift has ever written. We met in our college improv troupe, The Mixed Signals, at The College of New Jersey in 2007. One year later, The Temple of Boom was founded in our friend’s basement. As a budding singer-songwriter, Cat had a lot of sweet riffs waiting to be desecrated by fresh, improvised lyrics. So after not much practice, we moved the act from the basement to the Rathskellar stage at TCNJ.

She’s performed long-form and short-form improv with various professional troupes including the Bit Players of Newport, RI and Howdy Stranger of Hackensack, NJ. One time General Electric Lighting hired her to write comedic songs for a live product launch for 3 hours straight; it was dope and her contacts didn’t even dry out. Vegas is an actor, improv and stand-up comedian. He’s a long-time member of the Philly improv troupe, The N Crowd. He also opened for comedian Demetri Martin as a college student which was very cool.
