While creative chefs draw culinary inspiration from many sources, this Friday night, Tucson Foodie’s very own Adam Lehrman will be a main ingredient. That is, in a hilarious “dish” of improvised comedy with Tucson Improv Movement (TIM).

TIM’s “Soapbox” comedy team regularly features locals such as Lehrman as “monologists,” who provide the raw ingredients in the form of their own unique story that the team then transforms into a night of comedy scenes.

The comedy group breaks the monologist’s story into a number of segments, acted out by two person , as well as larger “group games” that feature more than two improvisers on stage at the same time.

The night begins at 9 p.m. at the Tucson Improv Movement theater located at 329 E. 7th St., just off of Fourth Avenue.

The theater is within walking distance of a number of bars and restaurants, such as Tap & Bottle, Ermanos, Che’s Lounge, The Shanty, Surly Wench,  as well as Flycatcher. Grab a bite or drink before heading over. Tickets are available online or at the door for $5.

More information, including tickets, can be found on the The Soapbox with Adam Lehrman Facebook event page.

Three-peat!🏆🏆🏆

@Chef_antbanks of @obonsushi defended his Iron Chef Tucson title against AJ Mortazavi of The Barnyard Crafthouse & Eatery, with tomatoes from Wholesum Family Farms revealed as this year’s secret ingredient.

Dromgoole’s winning menu included pork with minced olives over a diced tomato salad, a tomato-forward ratatouille with mozzarella, charred corn and whipped ricotta served with tableside tomato soup, and a standout dessert of fried tomato topped with goat cheese ice cream and balsamic glaze.

With the victory, Dromgoole joins Ryan Clark as the only chefs to win @theironcheftucson three years in a row. Here’s hoping OBON brings these dishes back for a special dinner. 🍅
