Saturday's IA Show

We had a party of 20 ladies enjoying a bachelorette party. Then we had another 20 audience members behind them, trying to hear and enjoy the show. Don't get me wrong, it was still a great show, but we did have some trouble keeping the drunk ladies quiet. In fact, they gave most of the suggestions, and did a lot of chatting in between games. I had a blast with the cast of IA though. We all enjoyed a drink or 10 after the show, and we all couldn't stop talking about how no one person held the spotlight tonight. It really was a team effort. We each got great laughs all night. Fantastic team improv in my mind.

The first half went pretty long, so we only had 20 minutes for the second half. Instead of doing our normal longform, we decided to just take a suggestion and play. We let the transitions become the next scene and it went really well. In fact, Magie noticed that the first two scenes were quiet, so then she came out yelling in the next scene. It made me very proud of her. That is some great improv focus right there.
