Michael Robinson remembers...

In a debate we're having at www.comedycouch.com/forum in the improv section under New Theatresports Show, Michael Robinson brought up a horrible Urban Improv show he saw once. Here's how he remembers it...

(Drew) endowed (Ian) as a giant piece of poo and then spent 10 minutes shitting you out. Everytime you tried to speak he jammed more poo in your mouth, then he inexplicably became a cross between a scottish pirate and Pearce's fat man character, chanted in latin, and peed himself.

Sometimes It's Good Just to Watch

Having played almost every Monday night at the Urban Well for the past umpteen years, it was good to take a night off and just watch the show. I missed the first half, unfortunately, as I heard it great. But I did catch the second half, and it was fantastic. This really is some of the best improv you will ever see. It's consistantly funny week after week after week. But if you are reading this, you already know.

Can you see the difference?

Sad Clowns and the Mirrors

If you missed tonight's show... well maybe you didn't it was pretty full.

Anyway...

There was a film about how children can turn into clowns when things go wrong. We saw what happens when Burger King and Dairy Queen have a child. We saw the perils of using X-Ray glasses. We saw what happens when your ex girlfriend runs a speed dating night. We saw a hitchhiking banana escaping from a very disturbing past. There was a haunting version of the James Blunt "You're Beautiful" song by Nathan and Chris followed by a hip hop performace by the Neo Nazi group the Heimlich Maneuver. Also we learned what it means to be on the recieving end of Randy's "Pimp and Leave".

This is a word cloud based on everything posted on this blog. Is it as cool as one of those black clouds that tries to kill people on Lost? No. No it's not. But it's odd and late on a Sunday, that's what matters.

Last Monday...

...the second half got way better looking with the addition of Allen Morrison making his debut with the seasoned haggered looking pros.

AND he was funny.

fucker.

Canadian Content going to Oprahland

Canadian Content (Urban Improv's sketch spin-off) has been accepted for the Chicago Improv Festival. Will we still offend south of the border? Only time will tell.

We Pity the Fool...

We pity the fool who didn't see Roman Danylo's many Mr. T scenes tonight at the Urban Well.

Yep, Urban Improv, staying on the cutting edge of comedy...

of the year 1983.
