Wednesday, February 20th 2008 I hosted another DC Improvisational Open Mic night in The Comedy Lounge. Even with with the weather not cooperating being cold and snowy, we still had a packed house. When I host the show, I like to start off with something personal for the audience so this round I decided to show a video to warm up the crowd. The video was a poorly produced music video shot at Ian's Bar Mitzvah back in June 1991 and featured some incredible dance moves by yours truly to the popular C & C Music Factory Song, "Everybody Dance Now". My moves included the electric slide, the running man and my famous running man into a jazz split. Good times and lots of laughs had by all. I also sadly look basically the same as I did when I was 12.
Now on to the show. I had 8 groupes sign up to perform, 5-6-7-8, Kibbles & Bitch, and some others that I have written down at the club and will add in later on. I was able to intersperse some short form Improv games for my single improv-ers in between the group performances and had some pretty good one liners throughout the night. Ian's Bar Mitzvah was a common theme whether I wanted it to be or not and we ended the event with the popular game lines from a hat...my signature ending.
The next round of fun is slated for Wednesday March 19th, 2008 in The DC Improv Comedy Lounge. Sign-up is from 7-7:30 p.m. Showtime is at 8:00 p.m. and the event is FREE!
See you there...
I just did a split.

About Improv Comedy Open Mic
- Improv Comedy Open Mic Night
- Washington DC
- This forum was officially announced by Allyson Jaffe (Manager/Owner of The DC Improv) on 11/28/06 to the Improv Community and launched at The DC Improv Comedy Club in our comedy lounge on 12/20/2006. The goal for this forum is to offer all students who never get the chance to practice and perform improv to have the chance to do so, for FREE. The DC Improv Comedy Open Mic is open to everyone; we encourage anyone with or without training in Improv to participate. The format of the show incorporates group performances along with single improvisers (whom are chosen randomly that evening and placed in a short form improv game). The single improvisers may or may not know the game or the other people playing it which is part of the fun of Open Mic Night. Again, the goal of this is to have fun, meet new people and offer another playground to continue to perform your Improv Skills.
