From DHT's show, 9/1/11 (sorry, I don't know the performers' names -- someone help me out):
Prostitute (following sex): OK. It's two fifty.
Young john: Oh God! My parents are coming home at three!
The silver knives are flashing in the tired old cafe. A ghost climbs on the table in a bridal negligee. She says "My body is the life; my body is the way." I raise my arm against it all and I catch the bride's bouquet.

And then later, she said "It's two seventy-five now," in the hopes he would get that she meant money, and the other performer just appeared confused... ;-)

At the Derby, Sept 9.

Andreas, asking the audience for a suggestion:

"OK, you were out of the office last week. What was the reason?"

Todd, from the audience: "OOB!"

In response to being asked if she was having a stroke:
Alex: "I dabble in strokes."

Someone correct me if I got this slightly wrong:

Playing Category Die in the Derby: Category was "Nursery Rhymes".

Ruby W.: "One flew over the cuckoo's nest!"

That answer is correct:

Vintery, mintery, cutery, corn,
Apple seed and apple thorn;
Wire, briar, limber lock,
Three geese in a flock.
One flew east,
And one flew west,
And one flew over the cuckoo's nest.
What is to give light must endure burning. - Viktor Frankl

Another gem from Ruby playing Category Die-

The suggestion was plastic surgery...

She said, "Blow job".

Best Show Lines - The Professor - Oct 14 2011

I don't remember specific lines (I wouldn't be able to remember them all) but the scenes between Clay Towery and Colin were absolutely astonishing. While watching them I slowly realized that I was watching some of the best improv I have ever seen.

Just jaw-droppingly and delightfully awesome.
