Last night we had the last Fools’ show of the year. It was a solid show with some great moments, but ran long (about an hour and forty minutes). That was mostly my fault – I included the game Dream Sequence which involves interviewing an audience member, so it takes a fair chunk of time to play. Also, some of our games that usually run fairly short ran long; welcome to improv.

We had a great crowd. We had at least 90 people and may have had 100, which is easily our biggest audience ever. They were a game group – they hung in there even when the show went 30 minutes longer than our normal shows. They were enthusiastic and had some great suggestions to get us going.

Some of the more interesting things to come out of the show:
– A Fool being engaged to be married to a grilled cheese sandwich
– Buckingham Palace being taken over by ravens disguised as cheeseburgers and being killed by alka seltzer
– Bambi the deer going to kindergarten and being taught to roast marshmallows over a fire
– A fantastic Genre Rewind where a scene about a cheap engagement diamond had to be done as hip-hop
– A Party Quirks guest who was interested in eating sundaes off of people’s heads

It was a fun evening, if exhausting. I am always surprised how much energy is required to run a show; it took me over an hour to get out of bed this morning. I’m sad to be losing six seniors (they always leave!), but I hope all four underclassmen come back next year – that would be a great core to build with, which includes two freshmen that I hope to have for three more years. So, the Fools take a break until next September and the next show will be in December.
