Tonight's the Night: Week 6 - Pimp Away!


Good lord, that's garish. BUT, it does accidentally touch on my point - which is not original at all, but true, so we're gonna work with it: Pimping, in improv, is not a crime.

Now, there's an important distinction to make between true, bad pimping, and "giving gifts", which is a wonderful, helpful move that too often gets lumped in with pimping.

Now here's the secret: Even the bad pimping isn't bad. Certainly not when you know your partner.

Anyhow, that's the definite item on the agenda tonight - Fun with Pimpin'.

I'm also looking at some more Whispered Secrets, since that went so well last week, and maybe some more Holiday Gift Exchange, Basement/Unbasement, Open Crossing, and, of course, Intervals.

Haven't come to my class yet, and are wondering what the hell those things are? Well, roughly translated they boil down to: Awesome, Awesome, Kickass, Fantastic, Fun as Balls, and Incredible. Hope that helps.

7-10, tonight, Simple Studios on 29th, $20, come on out!

N.B.: Actual pimps are very bad people.

Hope to see you there!

Your pal,
Geoff
