Last night, BYOI had its first summer show at The Firehouse in Newport, RI. The air outside was scorching, but the theatre was cool and welcoming and above all, filled with comedy! We were lucky enough to have some Bit Players in the audience and one of them became our FAM for the night.

Who has at least one thumb and loves BYOI? This guy!

Jarrod told us everything we needed to know about his life and more. We sang a little ditty about it. And then it was on to the games.

I don’t know what went over better Try That on for Size or Chainsaw, but both were hilarious. And, um, I have to put a little plug in for Questions, cause this lady held her own during three different scenes. Adam, Jimmy, Dan, and Jon, et. al rocked out in games of Six-Pack, Good Cop/Bad Cop, and Short Cutz. And for the family aww moment of the night, Jon’s father-in-law joined us onstage for Slogans. He asked that we call him Mister. We did not argue.

The night ended with a song. But our shows in Newport continue all summer long. Come down and join us!
