Last night I went to see ‘Ten Pound Badger,’ an improv group featuring (among others) one of my ex-coworkers from Common Networks.

A group of people on stage, crouching down and effecting various silly poses.

“We do have a replica available, but I'm afraid we don’t have Einstein’s actual head in stock at the moment.”

Three people standing around and looking at the fourth one’s head.

“Of course I changed color, I’m a chameleon! It’s what I do!”
“Can’t you let me know in advance what color you’re going to be? I need some routine in my life!”
“Oh, now look what you’ve done! I’m so mad I’m turning red!”

A man and a woman facing each other and talking.

Passerby: “Oh, good, it’s a doctor who fixes people!”
Doctor: “What’s the matter?”
Passerby: “It’s his foot!”
Doctor: (After examining the affected area.) “You’re right, that is his foot.”

A group of people standing around looking at someone lying on the floor.

“I thought you were a mistake…but maybe that was a mistake.”

One person pleading with another.

“I ran for Miss Dirt. I worked my way all the way up from Miss Dirt to Miss Steak—and now it’s all going to be taken away from me? What will the USDA say?!”

Two women facing each other, one looking very distraught and the other concerned.

“What do you see in the mirage?”
“I see… moldy cheese?”
“That means you’re ready for a new stage in life.”
“Yes! I want to be more than skim milk—I want to be whole!

Stage right: two people lie on the floor in contorted poses. Stage left: a woman kneels on the floor looking at them, while a man bends down on one knee to speak to her.

Bravo!
