Fun Improv Song

Gangsta rap ode to the UCB improv scene.  I love it!

totallymorgan:

My friend Patrick Noth created the most bad ass improv gangster rap of all time. By improv gangster rap, I mean it is all about the improv community and it will melt your face. It’s a theme song for the show Improv Nerds with Brandon and Chelsea.

Improv Withdrawal

Our wayward member Robert has sent us a message from the far off land of Nashville.

In the Running Gag circle, we have condition that is wittily referred to as “improv blue balls.” Whenever one of us must be away from the troupe for an extended period of time, it pains us to be without regular practice and performance. The end result is a rabid desire to return to the stage as soon as possible, often with results comparable to those of its namesake- messy and embarrassing. Needless to say it’s been over a month since my last practice, and it’s starting to wear on me in really inappropriate ways. I find myself watching legislators (I work for the government in Nashville, by the way) making terrible puns on the senate floor, and I want to leap from the balcony and join in just to get a laugh. I actually did the dance from this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-SK1-iILlY for the staff just to feel real….someone rescue me before I end up showing my blue balls to these people.

Classroom Gets Spicy

So in one of my classes the other day my teacher decided we needed to become more of a community and therefore should all introduce ourselves to the rest of the class. So in this class of about 10-15 people we get through introducing everyone in a normal fashion until the very last girl. She is probably about 30 and says that she too is a film student and that she runs a business out of her home. In a honestly curious manner my teacher asks her what her business is, if she doesn’t mind sharing the information.
She didn’t mind. The lady very calmly answered, “Oh, I run a sex hot-line out of my house.”
My teacher doesn’t bat an eye to this simple statement and says, “Wow, I didn’t think people actually did that from their homes.”
Almost immediately however after the lady announced this almost disturbing fact, another woman quickly asked if she was hiring, because many have told her she “has a great voice” but she “doesn’t know what to do with it.”
A guy behind the first sex line lady quickly chimed-in and offered that he could write scripts. The girl responded by saying that, “…around the holidays, Valentine’s Day and Christmas, when people get more lonely, I’ll probably hire on more people.”
The rest of class laughed at the quirkiness of the situation, yet a definite undertone of “uncomfortable” filled the air.
….Uh, check please!
