Asaf borrows dialogue, & Jeremy stands up in the Fringe

Post by Roy Janik »

Here's the plan for the Free Fringe this week:

6/21/2012: The Twenty-second Show!
Stand-upProv, produced by Jeremy Sweetlamb


It’s a common occurrence for stand-up comics to carefully refine their acts over years of performing… tweaking the timing and words until it’s a finely crafted piece.

In this improvised stand-up show, that’s all out the window.

Each comic is given a set list that they have never seen before as they hit the stage. It might just say “The one about duck”, and we’ll have to figure out what that means together.

They have 5 or 6 minutes to improvise their stand-up set list.

The Borrowers, produced by Asaf Ronen

Look, let’s be honest. A lot of musicians, writers, actors, and filmmakers have spent a lot of time writing/saying/singing a lot of beautiful words.
Why should we have to make up our own, when there’s already perfectly good words out there ready to use?

In this project, the situations and characters will be new and improvised, but the words will be… familiar. All the dialogue will be lovingly borrowed from existing movies, songs, novels, etc..

cast: Kayla, Halyn, Vines, Jordan T. Maxwell and Asaf Ronen

Headliners and Hosts: Firth & Arjet
Presents Once Upon A Time!


Jessica and Kristin create a brand new fantasy story each week, using fairy tale elements provided by the audience before the show. Princesses, dragons, castles, swamps, magic lamps, poisonous apples – you help guide what gets added to the tale. Will the heroes have a happily ever after or a grim demise? An audience vote before the ending will decide.

That standup idea seems so obvious and fun that it's a wonder I haven't seen it before.
