Hey there and welcome to the blog for the great BYOI show. Tonight was a fun night. Our cast tonight included, but wasn’t limited to, Daniel, Adam, Oscar and Ken. We also had some special guest cast members, Derek and Adam whom are part of our “call-back special”. So Daniel got the show started off with a bang telling everyone his RESPECT The Spot speech.
Ken, Oscar and Daniel warmed up us all by playing a game. This game consisted of having the audience “lap-clap” a simple beat and making them shout out some random phrases to the beat.
Our FAM tonight was Sara A. She has been to our show many times before, and is almost at the point of becoming a regular. She works at a bank, and really hates her co-worker, Kim, because Kim makes every dramatic. Her bank is not in the best of areas, so almost all her customers smell bad. Her favorite co-worker is Doug cause he’s just an overall nice guy. Sara’s friend, Kelly, came to the show with her, and describes her as spunky. Kelly also revealed to us all that Sara snorts when she laughs, and that they have made a drinking game out of it. Her mother, Lillyum, loves to yell and swear in Spanish. She has two kids, a little girl and boy. The little girl loves to wear mommy’s shoes and kick men in the shins, where-as the little boy has what she calls “Hulk rage”.
Family Dinner - Adam P. played as Sara, Ken played as Kim, Derek played as Doug, Oscar played as her mom, and Adam played as her little girl. Ken starts talking about how the genentic disease of snorting is still not cured, and that when you sneeze, parts of your brain shoots off. Oscar steps out and starts spurting out some random Spanglish. Adam K comes prancing out and starts kicking everyone in the shins. Derek decides to the chicken needs to be spiced up with “Wine-Coke” using the microwave, meanwhile Oscar is still spouting out random half Spanish and half English lines.
Sports Commentator - Adam P., Ken, and from our door staff, Beth, jumped out to mime the sport of “making lemonade”. Meanwhile Derek and a regular audience member stepped in to commentate on this exciting sport. Ken shaving with lemons, Beth loosening her wrists and decorating her booth with a table cloth, and Adam mixing lemonade and vodka. BANG! “And there’s the bell, and the competitors have begun juicing their lemons, wait some of them have begun peeling their lemons. Why? I do not know.” ” Oh no, and there’s lemon juice in the eye.” Watching that scene in super super slow-mo made this scene even that much better. Ken goes down from rat poisoned lemonade, and as Adam tries to revive him, Beth comes with the sneak lemon smothering attack. Daniel steps in to interview the winner, Beth who won by making pink lemonade.
Short Cutz - Adam K. and Daniel step out to start this game off using “Boring” as their prompt. So they are sitting in the bleachers waiting for the game to start, Daniel made advocato footballs, and Marina comes and sits right on it by accident, Oops! The Adams duel off about which Adam is sitting where, and Oscars jumps out and steals Adam P.’s seat ticket, followed by Derek, then Ken, then Marina… All stealing each others ticket for the seat. Daniel starts showing his son, Randy, his new trophy room, but then Randy learns her has to share the room with his more successful brother, Bryan, then Ken steps out with Derek, as Bryan newest life-size trophy. Adam K, hires Oscar and pays him part of his salary to do his work for him, then Daniel, his daughter steps out thanking his mom for allowing him to borrow his high-heels. Adam is then puzzled at how Daniel got to his work, but Ken steps out as Dad and says that he is paying Daniel part of his salary to drive him around.
Greatest Hits - Derek mans the keyboard with Ali to tell us all about the newest CD out on the market. 10 songs on 9 CD’s all about the band, Pediatrits. Adam K., Daniel, Oscar, and an audience member stepped up to sing these songs for us.
***INTERMISSION***
To start this second half off Adam P., Adam K., Derek and Oscar jump out and sit in groups of two having separate conversation by taking turns for each group and the lesson they were conveying was to taking turns in each group. And that’s what we like to call Yes And That’s How It’s Done!
Try That On For Size - I’m Knitting, I’m sowing my child’s face back together, I’m making a mo-hawk. I’m a bunny, I love my pogo stick. I’m unzipping a zipper, I’m flipping the switch that ends the world, I’m ripping the embryological code out of a woman. I’m fishing, I’m reeling in some nice tail, this is my first time eating spaghetti. I’m making rainbows, I’m raising the roof, I hope it doesn’t rain, I’m patching the Ozone with my fingers. I’m taking a poop, I worked all day and i’m relaxing, I’m using a thigh-master, I’m passing my lost thumb.
Interrogation Line-Up - Adam P. makes a great cop. The rest of our cast, plus Marina and Bryan step up and walk out of the room while we find out that someone kicked nuns, in a strip club, with Stevie Wonder with the help of our witness, Beth. After going through the entire line, the line-up figured out what was done, however after only a couple of questionings Daniel steps forth figuring out the location. Ken, being the brains he is put all the pieces of this crazy puzzle together and admitted that he did it all.
Slogans - Criminal Minds - “Now with a plot.” “Because we couldn’t call it Law and Order.” / Space Cadet - “Because helmets are for stoners too.” “Now accepting Wookies.” / Fall River - “Bringing you new smells everyday.” / Snort - “It’s adorable.” / Used to be tires - “Now we are putting the rubber back into horses.” / Hulk Hogan - “Ever wanna see what your grandfather looked like on steroids?” / Vodka - “Because beer doesn’t get it done fast enough.” “Lets face it… your b*tch is just ugly.”
Pillars - Derek, Ken and Ali play this game through while using Daniel and a regular audience member for suggestions. Ken took on the role of Walter Cronkite and Ali as Selene Dion, while Derek is the director of a horror movie. University of Antarctica Tech, and lamb-skin condoms were just a couple of the suggestions
2nd round - Jessi, one of our door girls, and a regular audience member step in as our pillars to be used by both Adams and Oscar. Adam K ate a caterpillar at a cheese factory where we learned that caterpillars are used to help make cheese taste like mustard or vodka on “whip-em-out-Wednesday”.
Greatest Hits - All cast play this game through all about the band Badminton Stars. Derek manned the keyboard, while Adam K., Adam P., Daniel, Oscar and Ken sang to us all.
Don’t forget to come see us either Wednesday 9pm or Friday 11pm @ The Spot, or Thursday 8pm in Newport @ The Firehouse Theater, or even on all three nights.
Very special congrats goes out to Adam P. and Derek for stepping up and playing some great roles with our cast tonight. Best of luck goes out to them and the other call-back auditioners!!!
AND SCENE!!!
