Comedy City Last Night

It was Comedy City's first show at the new venue. (The Westport Flea Market) I will go ahead and get all of the negative stuff out of the way.

-Parking was tough
-The theater was not clearly labeled or advertised from the street
-From what I overheard, there has been little to no advertising for the new place, or that Comedy City even moved for that matter.
When and if it sells out, there are seats on the side of the stage, so it makes for bad sight lines.

But you know what, that's it. Everything else was great. Luckily, I was on a team with Nick Rigoli, so we had a blast. The place was packed because it was a private bought out show. But, they have no reservations tonight because of the lack of advertising...ugh. The stage is okay, the lights are great, the sound booth is great. I really have no complaints at all about the venue overall. It has potential.

Let's face it, I am doing improv because I love to do it. When it isn't fun there anymore, I will leave, and I had fun last night.

Dear Gum Spit-Outers,

Stop spitting your gum out on the sidewalk. Wait...what? That wasn't gum? Awwwwe...poor baby bird.

Missing the cast

We were missing half of the IA cast last night which is never good for a group. Sure, we still had fun, and a solid rehearsal. But, you never want someone to miss out on what you are gaining. As a group, it is important for us to rehearse together to keep that group mind thing going. Luckily, most of us have played with each other for over a year now, but it is still tough to rehearse without everyone there. Everyone plays a huge role in our group, when one person is gone, they are truly missed. Hurry back soon guys!

Quit smoking

These kids died when they were 47 and 49 respectively. Do yourself a favor and quit smoking.

Weed is okay though.

Look at that hair. Poor guy. I guess this is what we all have to look forward to. I have a picture from when I was 16, where my hair is covering my eyes. I guess that means that in 10 more years, my hairline will be closer to the back of my neck.

Dear Nadia,

I am sorry to say that we can't have sex anymore. I thought your epilepsy would make it kinkier, but it is not.

Tuesday Rehearsal

Tonight we found out that Caroline and Katie will be taking a break from IA for about a month. But then, from the shadows...Caroline came forth. She will be with us for a little while...then she will be taking a break. I understand completely why they need it. It has been a hectic summer already for IA what with Chicago and everything. Last winter I tried to be in 4 improv groups at the same time and about killed myself trying. Hope they come back soon though, funny women in improv are rare, and Katie and Caroline are huge assets to our team.

Speaking of busy, I am still with IA, but I am also still doing 1-2 Comedy City shows a month...which is very easy to manage. I am also with a Thunderdome team, but we don't start rehearsing for awhile. John Robison and I are going to try our 2 man longform piece again starting in late July or early August. I would love to be able to do that show once a month as well, so that I can keep flexing my longform brain. He feels the same way, so time will tell what happens with that. I will definitely keep you all posted.
