      Sorry buddy. I completely forgot about it. I was thinking there was a week apart. I feel like a jerk

      You should all carpool to the show. It's only a couple hours... I promise to try to be funny.

          You do improv? Long-form, or regular?


          By the way, I'm not going to be there, either. I was actually trying to pull something off, but the wife's trip comes first.

            Short-form, "Whose Line" type stuff. We're going to be giving long-form a shot later on this year, I think. Right now we're doing a "comedy sports" format, the host acts as the referee and the match is between two teams of three. It's a lot of fun!

                    I absolutely hated the somewhat-current 'Whose line is it anyway' format, as it wasn't real improv. Real improv is occasionally screwing up, and trying to get your way back out of it....the mistakes that actors make is as funny as the work they're doing flawlessly.

                    It's not doing prepared material and having plants in the audience shout out stuff you have already worked on when 'audience participation' pieces come up.

                    I thought about doing a bit or two should I ever show up at a SF event, such as 'Puppet Show', as it always generates a laugh or two even though it's an old format. I was working on creating a bit called 'Stunt Double', when I had to get out of doing improv (had to change jobs, the new job at the time was during showtime)....but alas', maybe someday.

                    Improv is a hell of a lot more fun to do than traditional stage acting....after a few years of being out of the 'business', I tried doing a traditional, three-act mainstage play back in 2004....and I couldn't stand it, the monotonous repetition of saying the same goddamned lines, over and over again, just got to be too tedious, and I bailed.

                      I wasn't aware that you were so familiar with improv. I usually use "Whose Line" as a basic description since most people just stare back blankly when you tell them "improv."

                      I've never done any straight theatre. No real burning desire to try it. I like the freedom of improv, and I'm usually able to think pretty quickly, so improv really appeals to me.
