Ramblings of an improv madman...

AND I TRIED SO HARD TO MAKE YOU LOVE THE DATING GAME!!!

I thought we had about a 4.5 / 10 show last night, and I will not let up that things are not really changing because we are content with putting up the same type of performance every time. I don't mean this to be a derogatory comment, but I am just pointing out I don't see a whole lot changing in our routine. Our leaders still host the same, our games list are similar, gag games are prevelent at the end, rehearsal feedback is still the same. If we want to get out of the 5/10 range, a lot of these things need to change.

Best game of the night: Deck the Halls. For all the work we have put into singing, I think it finally paid off. I, being the ass hole I am however, am still skeptical that this means we are getting better at singing.

Worst game of the night: Asides. Four players, story didn't go anywhere, cut-off was wierd. Close runner-up, Three-Headed Santa. The format just doesn't work out for that game.

I thought the hosting was the anvil tied around our ankles last night. Who the fuck plays with that kid during our games? I won't talk anymore on that. Badgering the audience, making reference to the kid several times, I can go on. Also, one of my bigger pet peeves: We go through the exercise of setting up a random challenge game, he gets the book out and gets the numbers, then instead of reading it and making it sound new and invigorating, he says FUCK IT WE'RE PLAYING PANEL OF EXPERTS.

We are getting into a downward spiral of needing to feed off the audience. We should be able to supply our own energy. A good example, if the audience doesn't show energy our first game seems to be like pulling teeth to get the troupe into it. The audience energy shouldn't be a factor for us, we should always be selling it. I won't go so far as to say the audience isn't a factor at all, but I think we should be able to nail the 6-7 / 10 range regardless of what the audience is doing.

If you were to ask me the number one thing that needs to change:

Hosting, all around

Second thing that needs to change:

Interesting objectives that make sense

Bring on the debate bitches...I want to ramble on this topic...LETS DO THIS!
