Tonight I am a part of "instant comedy" A comedy/improv showcase @ Curious Comedy Theater. Curious is a nice, large theater in NE Portland, right off MLK. This showcase is like so: the audience calls out random topics for 5 comedians to talk about. They write a couple down, then 3 more comics each do a 10 min set up front and give first 5 comics 30 mins to think of jokes based on the audience suggestions. They are picked in a random order and its a really fun show.
Im 1 of the 3 comedians doing a 10 minutes set up front. I am the third comedian, and I go up with my Helium contest set to work the kinks out. The crowd is tight, they aren't laughing very much for anyone, but I did get a few applause breaks out of them.
After my set I go back out to the lounge and watch the rest of the show. All 5 instant comics did really well. It's amazing how they can come up with such brilliant material in such a short time. Curtis really blew me away with his Frozen bit, that man is a genius.
That was a great way to spend a weeknight
