A Slightly More Detailed Improv Report

Last night's L3 show was incredible. I'm so glad I stuck to this improv thing, because... wow. The feeling that you get from standing in front of a paying audience and making them laugh is just exhilirating. It's like sex, but with fewer hazards.

alterity started us off with some awesome warm-up exercises. Warm-ups are tricky for me, but I enjoyed. There was one called London Bridges, I believe, that was a complete mystery to me, but I caught on soon enough. I think. I hope. Anyway.

The crowd started ambling in soon enough. Mom came, as did my sister and her Jason. skittle_licious was there, and a few other folks that I invited/were invited on my behalf. Completely gratifying, even though I didn't really get a chance to say hey to everybody until after the show.

Then lights down, Jester'z up... and everything's kind of a blur after that. There's a few scenes I remember with crystal clarity because they were just that good ("Oh, I can stretch!") and some I can remember that well because they could have been better. Other scenes were swell to super-swell, but like I said, blur. It just went by so fast. I was lagging in energy by the time the last game came around, but man...

And the kudos! People coming up with the hi-fives and the handshakes and the hugs and... wow. Just wow.

I have to thank everybody who was up on stage with me. Improv is nothing without support and we were 100% there for each other. If you're reading, gang? Great job.

And now I must trundle back to the less-funny work.
