The night could not have gone better. We did an interview with Alt.news before the show, Bill Arnett unveiled some new videos and then we had a killer Michael Pizza show. So, maybe it could have gone better. I could have gotten free Chipotle or Keira Knightley could have asked to wear my hat or something. But anyway.
Here are some of my favorite moments from the show...
1. Josh was a southern woman who called her legs "getaway sticks".
2. I played a southern science teacher in a scene that only lasted 3 lines. It went something like this: "Welcome to the first day of science class. Today we will be discussing your lord and saviour Jesus Christ. Class dismissed."
3. Eric and Josh had a hilarious moment when, as Eric was being hunted, he stopped and bought a hotdog from a park vendor.
4. Kass had a really great moment in the end where he fell in love with himself and then had to jump back and forth in order to play both the man and the woman. Funny.
Anyway, that show really reminded me of how important it is to have friends and fans who support you. We needed a big turnout and people really came through. With that being said, I want to support some people who I feel deserve it. So here it goes...
1. If you want to read about improv, read Bill Arnett's blog. Read the old posts as well. It is mostly dead on, funny and smart. Here's the link: http://blogs.iochicago.net/bill/wordpress/
2. My sister is in an improv show every Friday at 10:30pm at The Apollo Theater called Baby Wants Candy. It consists of the VERY best improvisers in the city.
3. There is a new Harold team at iO called Neapolitan. They have been doing some really good work. Check them out.
4. If you want to see the teams that Michael Pizza looks up to and strives to be like, go see Cook County Social Club, 3033, The Reckoning or Improvised Shakespeare.
That's it. That's all I got.
