(Ok.....so we may not be helping feed Ethiopians, but tonight, we ARE the world.)
You know those moments when everything comes together and you realize right then and there, that you better remember this....right now....take it all in........?
Well I am proud, honored, and DEEEEE-lighted to say that tonight's shows had those moments.
Improv is hard hard hard. Not going to lie. It's not for everyone, yet there are always those people who think they can just walk right up and do it. Ya' know.....People don't do that with boxing! Or high-rise window washing! Yet they think (and sometimes come up and say), "Oh I want to perform with you next time!" Normally I'm diplomatic, invite them to workshops, tell them about the rules, try to help them (nicely) see the way it really is with improv. They need to see that some people shouldn't try this at home. The highs are high, but the lows...? Well.....luckily the highs keep you in the game.
But you know what? After tonight.....if those people think they can still come play with the big dogs, then ok.......BRING IT!
Goooooooooooooooooooooood LUCK! Hope you're wearing protective gear, 'cause you're gonna' get KNOCKED OUT.

AWESOME SHOW I Had lots of fun, and the boys were on top of their game.
My family really enjoyed your show Sunday night. I was worried that my kids would not be into it and be distracting...boy was I wrong! They loved it and I loved hearing them laugh outloud. Thanks!
