This is Improv not Stand-Up...

Yeah, I am aware of that but I decided to open the show last night with some of my old jokes and one new one. I am running out of embarrassing things to share and warm up the crowd with so I figured I'd do some material. The core routine got some laughs but the new joke about water bottles bombed. I guess I should have actually written a joke out before attempting to tell it. Notice taken.

Once again it was a packed house with standing room only. I am thrilled to see that there is so much interest in this forum and really appreciate you guys coming out. That being said I had 7 groups sign up. Satan Sour Sauce, Dopplegangers, Insyndication, 5-6-7-8, The Meddling Kids, Scissors and a one man show featuring Giovanni D and his mail.

I did my best at trying to get stage time for everyone who signed up as a single improviser and I will admit I was pretty bad regarding explaining the game of Two Pillars. (Maybe I should take a class?) Other than that, we tried a new game Addicts Anonymous (which was eh) and we ended with good ol' lines from a hat. I realized that you people are sick and twisted with some of the things that end up in the bucket, but at least they are funny.

Next one has been scheduled for Thursday April 24th, 2008 so mark your calendars for that.
Sign-Up is 7-7:30 p.m.
Show will begin promptly at 8:05 p.m.

Also I am throwing at party. Here are the vitals for it.

“The DJ starts around 10 o’clock. Music includes rock some acid jazz, up tempo blues, until about 10pm. At 10 p.m. its old school 80’s & 90’s hip hop & rock. Then once 11pm hits we are hitting full force with everything.” I did not write that…I copied and pasted it so keep the mocking too a minimum.
