The Raspberry Brothers cast consists of writers and performers who also contribute to SNL and the Onion. And lead Raspberry Brother, Jerm Pollet, performed with this comedy format since 2000 in Austin at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema.Each show includes drinking games, and audience participation for prizes, like free Videology rentals and free adult beverages. The Raspberry Brothers have drink specials they create for every show. For Back To the Future 2 there was a drink called the Time Machine. It was a Miller High Life and a shot of banana liqueur (since the professor throws a Miller High Life and a banana peel in the tank to fuel the Delorean). For Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles it was a toxic waste colored green drink called the Teenage Mutant Ninja Cocktail. And when they do their Star Trek party on Tues. Aug 10th they will have Romulan Ale and Klingon-blood Wine.
