A very memorable night.
I participated in a charity event for the Make-A-Wish Foundation in a "Theatersports Cup" Exhibition Match. If you don't know anything about Theatersports, its basically another show format for Impro by Keith Johnstone.
The format is very simple. Each Impro team takes turns challenging each other on different scenes. One team issues a challenge, and the other team accepts. At the end of each team's performance, the audience rates the scene from 1 to 5. 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest.
Our team was called "Anything For Now" simply because we couldn't think of another team name for ourselves!
Anyway, we challenged the other team with "A scene that is inspired by a Beatles song."
We asked the audience for song titles, and the Beatles song we chose was:
Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey.
I volunteered to participate in the scene and I'm glad I did!
The scene was short, sweet, and ended with big laughter! I'll never forget it.
The audience even rated us a resounding FIVE! Writing about how exactly the scene unfolded won't do it justice, so you'll have to ask me about it next time!
In any case, tonight's performance revalidates my love of being on stage!
Luckily I've got two more performances in the next week! I wish you were all here to support!

That's cool man. Good to see you really taking a liking to a new hobby. Maybe you can join 2nd City when you come back to Chicago? And Make a Wish Foundation? Good stuff! Jolly good show, mate! What.
