Celebrating 10 Years of Making Stuff Up

Some of you know that I do improv and belong to the Tucson improv group Not Burnt Out, Just Unscrewed. I joined the troupe shortly after moving to Tucson in 2005 so I have been with them a little over seven years now.

However, the troupe was founded in 2002 so that makes 2012 the 10th anniversary. On November 10th, we had our big 10th Anniversary show. We rented a big theater at Pima Community College, invited back all the aluni who could make it and put on a two hour improv extravaganza.

The show was recorded and is now on the web.  We had 23 players. We divided the large cast into four smaller teams, each of which performed one set (each set had a different host, I hosted one set and played in one set). Here is the set I played in.



The highlight is the game typewriter which starts about the 13:00 mark and contains a marvelous epic chicken in chapter 3.

If you want to watch any of the other segments, or some of our other shows, you can find them at Cristobal Improv.

I hope this wets your appetite for some improv and if any of you ever make it to Tucson, I hope you can take in a show.

That was great, hale. The chicken tale was hilarious. How do you resist looking back to see what the others are doing?

Well, it's easier not to look when the show is being recorded and you know you will get to see it.
