There was an Improv Show last Saturday in case some of you missed it (which most of you did because there were staggeringly few people there).  I’ve missed a few myself so I don’t hold any grudges, but I would like to tell you what you missed.

To start, the show was very funny and really high-energy.  People who missed it, missed a lot.  There was Replay, where the a scene is acted then reenacted based on suggestions from the audience.  The suggestions were the Victorian Era, Shakespeare, and Greece.  All the scenes involved cheating, but there were more differences between the plot of each scene then there should have been (but the Victorian Era was so funny–you really can’t mess that up).

There was Props, where various random objects are presented and the players must use them any way but the normal way.  There were some good Star Trek references (though I don’t know if LeVar Burton knew Scotty) and a nice Lincoln parody from Josh–both of which involved a head band.  Sunglasses as a braw or a shooting star or even a ukelele.  Whatever the case, it was sold.

Another game was Story, Story, Die and it was about the Pygmies of Switzerland (who were apparently Smurfs).  It had a very Dances with Wolves vibe which reminded me of Avatar a bit (since they’re blue–get it?) but it was still very funny.  Everyone died at the hands of a bloodthirsty audience from things as random as a drinking straw to Voldemort.

There you go, a quick recap of the games.  I missed a lot, because I forgot a lot but it was terrific and worth watching.  For those of you who missed it, come out next time.  Improv Underground has nowhere to go but up (onto the surface).
