Bring Your Own Improv today was invited to a Johnson & Wales press conference where Daniel, John, Adam and Dan got to show off what BYOI is all about. After a brief session where we talked about who we are and what we do, we broke into some improv. In Pillars Adam and Dan worked through there break up. Then in Freeze Tag with some great audience members, we found some junk in the trunk, put Adam up on a poll and learned that drunk old men get picked up easier then women. Then questions from the audience…
And Scene!

And being actors, we couldn’t resist the chance to dress ridiculously. Seriously, no one knows who the cast actually was tonight, they were that thorough. Rumored to be in attendance were Ken ‘El Frijole Frio’ B, Disco Barbie Beth, Baby Dan W, Jimmy Travolta, and John Cougar Melonsmasher, but don’t hold us to that.
Yes And … multitasking ROCKS.
IM … Zombies, Global Python Systems, and fun with cryo. Woo.
EC … brought to you with much holiday enthusiasm (or, one could say an extra spark) … Fart jokes, cheers and innuendo. Hey! It really IS the BYOI cast!
TCSM … a gory take on this house favorite! Who knew slinkys were so universally dangerous? Must be why they went plastic … And personally, I never would have guessed the hippie was the most astute.
PQ … butt jokes brought to you by Baby Dan’s (ongoing) onsie wardrobe malfunction. Otherwise, there was a game here, and it was funny, and Clue may have been referenced. It was awesome.
And after a quick pumpkin-carving break:
PO … (it’s been an awesome show so far)
FT … 1) Bringing back the poultry dowry, The Neverending Story (again? still?), and Hippie Bones. Woo. 2) For the record, no, that’s not what ‘mouth to mouth resuscitation’ means. Ever. And 3) BYOI is proud to present the first EVER Human Rorschach Test. PS: the hot ref IS full of sheet.
R … MORE butt-flap jokes. Cross breeding is good for nature. Cockapoopoos, Shihzberns and Sporkies, what is this world coming to? Hey Mikey, I think he … uh, he’s high?
FLW … First rule of FLW? You all belong to Disco Barbie Beth. Second rule of … anyway, moving on. A frightful (adorable?) amount of puns were enjoyed by all. Especially Jimmy T. And a whole lot of ‘too soons’. What a treat. Too bad you’ll have to wait ’till next year to get this spooky-themed awesomeness, trick’s on you.
Get it? Haha? No? Well, come on by for our show next Wednesday (remember, no Friday show this week!). Less costuming, but all the same Funnyhaha!
Over the past few weeks, Bring Your Own Improv hosted auditioners in the show as part of their callback process. The talent has been amazing and the laughs were many, however only two out of the six could be chosen to make the cast. We would like to welcome and congratulate, Ken Breese and Daniel Wood to the BYOI family! Come see both their first shows with us next week!
