One in the bag

On Thursday we had out first show of the season, and our first show on the Lecture Hall's brand new massive stage. I mean it: this thing is a frickin' beast. It's too big, really, but what are you gonna do? We ain't exactly paying to use the thing.

So after a couple of cold games, the pace really picked up. Crowd favourites included the nautically-themed Scene Three Ways (A Cousteauish Aaron used the hapless Jon as bait for Spencer's less-than-lethal giant squid) and the always brilliant CD Compilation. In fact, CD Compiliation is so exceptionally popular that we're thinking of abandoning all our other games in favour of two hours of Jon and Lawrence singing. Honestly, wouldn't you pay to see that?

This show also saw the debut of our brand new feature: Low Budget Comics. Basically, I get up on stage and ask for a bunch of suggestions to create a story. Example:

Okay, who's someone you wouldn't want to show up at your birthday party?

Michael Jackson!

Okay, great. Now, what does Michael Jackson do over the Thanksgiving long weekend?

He runs a day care.

Great. Now, who's a famous historical figure that happens to attend the day care?

Josef Stalin!

And so on and so forth. I think the end result works pretty damn well. It might not make much sense, but it works. Check it out and let us know what you think.
