…With a bang! We had a great show once again at Leisure World, tried a few new games, dusted off some old games and threw them back on the table – Got to keep the classics in rotation right?
We’re working on booking our next event and always practicing our signature form of madness in between – if you have any questions about the group or about upcoming performances, drop us a line!
And now to pimp out our fellow performers in the area:

@Riesl1: Soup?
Yes, we will fill our Thursday lack-of-rehearsal void with soup! But not your run of the mill chicken and stars…. Bomblet wants Pho.
“Up, up, and awaaay!”

The scene will revolve around superheroes with strange powers invented by the audience and fellow players, and be very different from the normal superhero types…
- Ask the audience for two suggestions: A superhero name and a problem that needs solving. Note that you should explain to the audience that you are not looking for superhero names like Superman or Batman, but rather newly invented (generally less powerful) superheroes like Captain Chipmunk or Lisping Lad.
- The first player begins a monologue in the character of the superhero suggested, discussing the enormity of the problem he faces.

After a short commercial break following the River Creek show we’ll be back to our regularly scheduled programming of rehearsal and mayhem plus a surprise Holiday Special! We could just tell you where, but a picture is worth a thousand words…
More details to come… stay tuned!
Aaw yeah, we gangsta. Flashin’ M:I signs before the River Creek show.
Show stoppin’. Improv poppin’.
A game not for the weak of heart… or stomach… or face.
Their little smiling peepy faces… they have no idea… it’s coming…
We have a little over a week until our Halloween party show at River Creek and we’ve been cooking up and rehearsing some fun holiday themed games for the kids and their parents.
So far our set list includes:
- Columns (AKA: Pumpkins!)
- Human Props
- Left!
- Slideshow
- Sit, Stand, Bend
- Day in the Life/DING! (Combo game)
- Peeps (still need to rehearse this one…)
- Spelling Bee
- Dubbing (tentative)
- Countdown
I think that’s it… but I’m drawing purely from memory and recording for posterity. Currently we have no Holiday shows planned for the November or December months, but we’re always open to the right opportunity!

It’s a big gig for us, so we’ve got to knock it out! Wish us luck and send us strong comedy vibes… we need some good juju* this month.
*No live chickens please.
