It's a Mitzvah!

As most of you know I always like to start off these shows with something personal and preferably from my youth, so last night I opened with a 5 minute edited video showcasing scenes of me at my own Bat Mitzvah back in June 1991. I intend to put this up on youtube at some point for those of you who missed it...it was hilarious. We had a HUGE turnout last night even though tornado watches and thunderstorms loomed over us. There was standing room only and close to 70 people in attendance. We also celebrated 3 birthdays last night (Min, Tommy, Bart)...thank you guys for choosing Improv Open Mic to celebrate your parents having sex, I appreciate it. So that being said the troupes that performed were, 5-6-7-8, Loser Josh, 7:30 Bitches, Fortunes Fools, Vacuum Shark, Zach Paul and some other D-Bags. Each received 8 minutes of performance time. I had a ton of people signed up to play short form games...so much that I couldn't give everyone stage time. (I'm Sorry!!) I really like to get everyone stage time, especially as single improvisers. But like I said last night, it is a free show so you can't get too mad at me. I also realized that I need to make some changes for the July event. I noticed that last night there were several repeat performers in groups. For July if you plan on coming please keep your signing up to only one group so I can accommodate everyone and offer them all a chance to perform. The show ran a little over 2 hours and of course ended with my signature ending, "Lines From A Hat". To all who were there last night, I admire your enthusiasm with Improv and appreciate your attendance and I look forward to hosting this event again (I'm running out of embarrassing moments though). The next round is slated for Thursday July 10th, 2008. Sign-up from 7-7:30 pm. Show begins promptly at 8:05 pm.
