Favorite Shows/Scenes for the Festival

[Zach]

My favorites so far for the festival:

You're Not My Real Dad's bachelor pad complete with Hugh Hefner robes and out of touch swingers. + wizard eagle tattoo

Token Boy's Principal Moleste, "it's just like Celeste..."

Pretty much the entire Available Cupholders show, but specifically all the parts where Bill Stern's very honest reactions in character threatened to devolve his fellow improviser's into uncontrollable laughter.

Also Valerie Ward and Jill Benard's son/daughter leaving home scene in the Starter Kit's show. I was so enjoying watching that scene from the side of the stage where i was suddenly like, 'oops, holy shit I am in this show that's happening right now, sweet!'

Rosa Parks played a nice slow quiet set that was quite impressive. Great characters.

Grandma Hates Technology- Jessica's "Mrs. Moskowitz," an extrememly hard to deal with character. When asked if she understood how the loan process works, she replies, "I need money, You give me the money. Later, I bring it back."

Will Durst stopped by the Velv open mic last night. Crowd went nuts and he was super nice to everyone that approached him and encouraging to all the other comics. Catch him tonight or tomorrow

Mike and Dana writing songs in Tin Pan Alley.

Mike and Dana spreading the good news...and the bad news.

Mike and Dana dealing with raptors.

Covered and Smothered is the only show i've gotten to see so far. :p

Jeff insisting everyone outside Coldtowne "touch the pole." For all I know he's still standing there doing this.

Eris 2035. All of it.

In short: Crew stumbles upon a gas giant, get a signal from something crying about being lonely from within the planet, ship's computer gets possessed by the sentient planet, crew is forced to breed so the planet can have friends. The show ends with the crew's ship imploding and being stranded in paradise, shortly before stripping off their space suits and getting busy. I normally love how PGraph can blend being scary and funny at the same time, but this show took the scary/funny cake.

If I had to pick one moment, it would be when the ship's log states, "Deleting SAM [ship's computer]," as crew continue talking to what they think is the ship's computer.

agreed about the show as a whole. the best part of the "delete" moment was the computer continuing to misspell "deletion" (the last in a long string of typo humor), and thus having to constantly delete the word itself until it got it right. and by it, i mean Roy. and by Roy, i mean awesome.

for me, it had to be the perfect "let's all fuck in a gas cloud" ending.

One favorite was the Maestro scene performed almost entirely in Hebrew between two "librarians" with one poor Brit trying to find a book on aeronautics. Best "gibberish" scene ever!

Also the 5-second "roommate assassination" scene. Among others.

Oh! and the dance-off totally rocked.

I loved all of those too!
The dance-off was strangely awesome and kinda beautiful.

Jordan also rocked that Shakespeare scene so. damn. hard. It was amazing and part of the time I thought, "We need to do Improvised Shakespeare again and Jordan needs to be in that! He needs to move back to Austin, dammit!"
And then he announced he was moving back at the end of the show!

Loved Eris a super lot. And the Maestro Hebrew Scene, and all about Jordan. And the "2nd place" guys... forgive me not knowing his name... Awesome, too. I love this (global) community.

[Rev. Jordan T. Maxwell]

addendums (addenda?) to earlier Eris 2035 post with more favorite moments...Val putting the puppet eyes on her hand to resolve conflict and Kareem's utter joy about it; the perfect timing of Roy asking "what could possibly make you want to stay on this station?" and Kareem then crossing upstage, in and out of the scene without a word; Roy giving JUST the perfect amount of winking acknowledgement to the fact that he had to play a crew member AND the computer/entity voice; Kaci's catwalk confession to Kareem. oh, and now that i know it, the fact that the gas entity and ice moon of Godiva were actually a margarita.

PROJECTproject's technical difficulties. British accents. non-rapping rappers. and a child named Tutelage.

yes! that was my favorite of the Maestro. i wanted to give them bonus points so they could win and i could go take a nap.

Oh! and the dance-off totally rocked.

thanks. my body still hates me.

The dance-off was strangely awesome and kinda beautiful.

i'm a horrid dancer, so each round i was just trying to think of what movement would be fun to do and entertaining to watch. when i saw Ryan had some actual moves, i thought he'd clinched it. so exhilerating and breath taking (literally...i don't think i caught my breath until two hours later). thanks again to Andy and Jeremy for running such a tight ship and for so, so many gifts in the show.

Jordan also rocked that Shakespeare scene so. damn. hard. It was amazing and part of the time I thought, "We need to do Improvised Shakespeare again and Jordan needs to be in that! He needs to move back to Austin, dammit!"

can someone tell me what happened in the Shakespeare scene? i kind of blacked out after Andy directed, "we see her enter." lol!

i knew you and Roy and Kareem would give me the usual bit about "so when you moving back to Austin?" very difficult not to just come right out and say it and reward you all for your four year running gag.

Really? KICKASS!!
