Day 26 (340) – Improv’e Your Weekend

So it’s Friday, which means it’s time to kick off another busy weekend of comedy (and I wouldn’t have it any other way).

Tonight, Smarty Pants will be traveling up to Miami Oxford (home of racists cops, popped collars, and DP Dough – as Jim so lovingly referred to as Cardboard Calzones).

We will be helping to host Miami’s ImprovFest, where groups from Miami, University of Dayton, North Carolina State, and The Ohio State University will be competing in a friendly improv ComedySportz competition.  I know a little bit about each of the groups, but I heard the group from OSU, called “The 8th Floor” is phenomenal and was co-founded by one incredibly sexy man.

After the Fest (which starts at 7pm at Peabody Hall, tickets $3), we will be heading over to some other hall named after a rich old guy and seeing Second City perform, so it should be a hilarious night.

Tomorrow morning we start out with a Improv Workshop led by Dave Powell, who has been teaching us some amazing things on Thursday Nights.  Smarty Pants will then head up to Dayton to perform a family-friendly improv show at the Dayton Funny Bone (show starts at 3pm. tickets $10).

After that show, a few of us will head over to Advanced Systems to perform at a corporate dinner, before heading to University of Dayton for Day 2 of the ImprovFest (same dealio as before, just in Dayton now – home of … (I got nothing)).

Once the ImprovFest wraps up and we have an improv champion (I’m leaning towards that crazy OSU group), Smarty Pants will then host an improv jam with some members from the college groups.

Once that’s all said and done, it’ll be time to head back to Cincinnati for Keenan and Jim’s Party Bus.  Though this won’t be improv related, it’s sure to be hilarious (those crazy kids and their alcohol).

But what this all really means is that tomorrow might be the first day that I don’t get a chance to blog.  Now I’m not going to wuss out and claim tomorrow as an exception and not pay up; I have a feeling I might be giving out my first $10 on Sunday morning.
