June 23rd: Character work!

I have fallen in love with the late night shows at Second Storey Theatre.  After our usual Sudden Death Improv shows, we've been adding late night long form shows and the formats change depending on who is hosting the show.  On the 23rd, the format was probably my favourite I have seen yet, namely because it revolved around the creation of characters.

In the show we met Clause Vath-Bath - a butler who couldn't hold his alcohol and was embarassed by his name, Bambam Lill - a famous rock/movie star past his prime who had a pompadour hairdo and hated talking about himself, and Shadow Overstreet - the smartest rapper in the world who doubled as a CIA agent and who only spoke in words or two syllables or more. We were able to meet each of these characters in their worlds for 10 minutes each, and then we were able to see them all together.  And, as you might expect, it was AWESOME!

Way to go Shovin' Buddies!  You were great.  I can't wait to see the next one and meet some more crazy and awesome characters.
