June 4, 2016 Show Announcement
In Honor of Father’s Day: Advice from our Dads We’ve collected pearls of wisdom provided by our fathers over the years, recapped here to benefit from their life experience: Dad’s Advice | BBI Interpretation | Always give 110% percent! | If tickets are $10, you should pay $11. | Don’t get into a pissing contest with a skunk. | If a skunk comes on stage, run! | Drive for show, and putt for dough | Practicing the fundamentals is what makes BBI a quality troupe. | Measure twice, cut once. | If traffic is bad, look twice before you cut in. | Skate to where the puck is going to be. | Anticipate the punchline, and be ready to laugh before anyone else gets it! | Aim for the fences! | Our scenes are big and bold; the higher the stakes, the funnier the mistakes! | Neither a borrower nor a lender be. | Don’t forget your money and try to give BBI an IOU for your ticket! | 99% of success is showing up. | You can’t laugh at our jokes if you don’t come. | If someone asks you to walk a mile, go two. | You, too, can join us on stage. If we ask for a volunteer, jump in! We’ll make sure you have fun and look good. | If it’s supposed to stick, and doesn’t, use duct tape. If it’s not supposed to stick, and does, use WD-40. | Just what it says. Any good toolkit has both. |
The Skinny: BBI performs short form, improvisational comedy. Audience suggestions will fuel short scenes of hilarity, each lasting 4-7 minutes, with some kind of twist to challenge the players. We might be required to rhyme, speak in gibberish, perform in the style of a western, or only move where audience members direct. The characters, scenarios, dialogue and resolutions are made up on the spot. It’s a challenge for the actors, and a night of madcap comedy for the audience. Join us! |
