Thoughts on the Sept 11th, 2010 show:
-
I thought hoe-down went extremely well. Everyone had really strong rhymes, and Kristen pulled off the anchor position extremely well.
-
The slapfight game should not have a) ended the show, b) been about the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and c) shouldn't have been slapping. The first version of that game I saw was with marshmallows, which was Goddamn Hilarious. I would have rather seen a serious dialogue about 9/11 conducted while trying to stuff marshmallows into one's face.
-
The "same scene, different locations" game was fun, but I think it would have gone better if the audience had been involved with the problem that had to be solved for each of the characters in addition to the locations.
-
The scene for the "first line, last line" game made sense in the context of the two lines taken from the audience, but I felt that it went on a long time. Also... there was a lot of shitting going on.
-
I liked the cell phone idea quite a bit. My phone had a hard time getting the number to go through at first, but I think it's because I had tried only entering the seven digit number, and then everything went to hell from there. I was impressed with the fact that despite a smaller crowd, you guys had upwards of 50 texts at one point in the show. I don't know if I've ever seen 50+ slips being read on stage.
Those are the discrete bits that stuck with me. Overall, great show.
