Mr. President

Another LD Show Down

Last night my improv group, LD & The Scientist, had another show after a 2 month hiatus of not performing. As always, these hiatus’ fill me with uncertainty of how we will perform, especially as we’ve had trouble scheduling practice recently. And let’s face it, an improv group that doesn’t practice is going to have issues down the road.

 Luckily for us, last night was not the night for problems. We had a really solid show. Our suggestion was “potent” and we attacked the suggestion with ferocious attention to grounding scenes. Our scenes contained a couple who romanced through spicy chili, A researcher and intern handling dangerous material with spatulas, inducing pregnancy through pheromones, and a scene about the illicit chemical warfare of spanish fly in high-school.

 Unfortunately, because of an electrical glitch a huge purple light came on 8 minutes into our show. Being caught in the moment, enjoying ourselves way too much, and not knowing how long we had been on stage, we assumed this was out wrap it up light. We wrapped it up in just over 9 minutes.

 Later, after the show, we realized that in mistakenly thinking faulty wiring was a message from above end our show, we had inadvertently made it “potent.”

Damn we’re good.
