Summary of Improv Goals 033

Now, the Roving Imp Show in the Student Union at The University of Kansas was fantastic, and the Elderberries commendable, which merits a separate post.

First, we have some lines from short-form games from two weeks ago.

John said, “Look! If you crack off the top, you can beer in these!”

Frank reacted, “Those binoculars were $200!”

Derek exclaimed, “I had a grape plant once and it was crushed by bears.”

David uniquely responded, “Yes, grapes look like berries to bears.”

“He overslept because he dreamed that ‘Weird Al’ installed granite counter tops on a lady.”

“My god, Man, you just danced with a planet!” ejaculated David.

In a game of Superhero Family Reunion with a suggestion “mud,”

Derek quipped, “I hope you get a dirt bike. The other kinds of bikes are stupid,” and “I invited a lot of people by throwing mud at them.”

Great reversal of exceptions from David as the dog, “Thank you, master, for letting me sit in the chair for a change,” and support from Derek, as the human in a crouched position on the floor.

Two weeks ago, John and Derek performed a long-form

where they operated a packed zoo on a half acre.

“We don’t need a velvet rope when we have a gate.”

Derek queried, “Why is the zebra up against the fence?”
“He’s sorted alphabetically,” responded John.

Derek observed, “They look sad; that’s a sad panda.”

“Pandas look like that on the best day of their lives,” responded John.

Thus began some quirky impersonations from John.

“‘Let me show you a camel on the happiest day of his life,’ he said, changing the subject deftly.”

“Let me show you a zebra on the happiest day of his life,” John is skipping and running, “Zebras are exuberant animals!”

John looks left, looks right, “Have ever you looked an emu dead in the eye?” John runs and lunges, and pecks at Derek’s visceral mass, “There, you’re dead.”

John arranges two chairs together and entreats Derek, “Here, I’ll show you a sloth on its happiest day. Come closer, and hold out your arm.”

Derek asks, “A sloth? Isn't that a sin?”
John reacts, “A sloth or having sloth?”
Derek clarifies, “That’s the eternal question: which came first the sin or the animal?”

Derek summarized the set that night, “The happiest and saddest days of the animals seem a lot the same. My life is a lot like that.”
