A year to remember...

The last DC Improvisational Open Mic night of 2011 was held on November 9 and had an incredible turnout. The room was packed (not a single seat left in the house) and about 35 people were interested in performing. Unfortunately, I was under the weather that night with almost no voice so thanks to Jinah and Bryant for pitching in to help host the first part of the show. Even though I sounded like a 13 year old going thru puberty, I had to jump up and host the second half of the show. The event lasted a little over two hours and was filled with tons of laughs. At the end of the night we played the signature ending game, "Lines from A Hat" and we actually ran out of lines! The grand finale was the entire room being videotaped singing Happy Birthday to a friends sister in Istanbul. Unfortunately that video did not go viral. I want to thank everyone who has helped make DC Improvisational Open Mic Night so much fun over the years and I'm looking forward to continuing in 2012. December is so hectic for everyone so we won't be hosting a show that month, but I'll be back (with a voice hopefully) on Sunday, January 8, 2012 for the first show of the year. Save the date for me and have a wonderful holiday season!

May Day

So after a six month break I was able to finally host DC Improvisational Open Mic night on Wednesday, May 11 (sorry for the delay in writing this blog). We had a great crowd featuring some new players as well as some of the regular peeps. I started the night off with the warm up "Yes Lets" where everyone was able to participate and get focused on performing some improv. Right afterwards, I decided to bring back good ol' "Dance Prov" where everyone was able to participate. I called two people on stage, played a song from the sound booth, had people dance and then when the music stopped they froze and started a scene. Some other games played that evening were Superhero's, Sounds like a Musical, Ally-prov and Remote Control. We also had a couple of groups perform: Two Bits, Saturn Force and Jive Turkey. My apologies to Bart and Bryant for not realizing they also wanted to perform a group spot that night. Of course we ended with the lightning round of lines from a hat. Overall I think the event was a great success and I'm looking forward to hosting this again once my schedule frees up. Stay tuned and I'll be announcing a new date. Thanks for all the support and laughs over the years.
