Comedia del Culver City

Sat in on a couple interesting things last Tuesday September 29 and Monday October 5 in Culver City.


Sunday City Hall Sandwich


Sandwich 

Sandwich has finished the iO West Training Program and is in the middle of a Tuesday night run with other graduate groups.  They are just beginning their improv journey with iO and around town.  We rehearsed at City Hall in Eagle Rock on a Sunday Afternoon; a big open space for a fun and physical group.

Warm Ups
Rome the Room.  Dualing Lone Wolf. Emotional Face Takes. John Lee Hooker Pose & Go Scenes. 

Harolds/Petals Form

"Santa Monica Chocolate Shop"
Strong Affirmation Gang working after hours in the shop.
Taking your ex boyfriend to his new date.
Can't stop eating chocolate. 
Netflix Buddies.

"Shakespeare's Pizza"
Employees Paddle the pizza, sonnet toppings, daddy confessions, & first job means first friends. 
"Locker Pal's gotta know when a friend is crushing on a Billy."
Mom & Dad don't cook, not even on a Shogun date.
Nonchalant Pepperoni Deal gone wrong with Creeps on the Block. 
Back at Shakespeare's, the Boss is gone. New Rules. Sonnet Toppings: "Our dreams are our dreams."
Daughter, Moms, Gramas, & Guardian Angels, your phone privledges have been revoked.
When in the war bunker, take that gun out your mouth when taling to us. 

Notes
Check in with self and others. What is your awareness.  Starting with something physical and big.  Really Receiving your partner's gifts. Discovering variety of relationships.  Whether in or out of the scene, it's all good.

Not All Cops


Not All Cops Are Bad 

It's True!  George McAuliffe is ridiculous hilarious.  I'm jealous as all get out.  His show is one of those comedies that's a sweet bundle of fun elements.  Topical? Sure.  But what a weird story about a real life imaginary cop facing the every day challenges of work, family, and life in the line.  You can get your selfie taken with Carlisle PD's Finest Not-An-Average Man, Officer Scott Baker.  I saw this show three months ago and I appreciate how it's evolved since playing in New York, Chicago, & Fergusson's own, St Louis MO. Sweet Cherry Wine, find a way to see this show.

Love it or leave it.  Thankful for the familiar faces and Ben Seeder who keeps the jazz playing every week.  Shout out to HipHopPhilosophy.com who runs the tables, lights, & puppy patrol.  Grateful to get to play two sets, one even with LA newbie & fellow PG Koleno, Aaron Caponigro.  Had fun trying.

Single's Motel is every Friday at 10pm at Rafa's Lounge 1836 W Sunset Blvd in Echo Park.
