#offbook

tshirt that says "i love when improvers do meta jokes with the mechanics of their craft" whatever you're thinking of it's not about that this is about zach reino in episode 323 of offbook (mountain do in your room) playing a character who's losing it a little from self imposed total isolation and referring to the band as his "three friends who play music" and then the band will play licks when he's talking about them but then when he desperately asks jess's character "you can see them right?" over and over they are completely silent

Off book fandom I know “we object to fear” is the most well known improv musical because it was taped but I BEG of yall to give the same love to “captain dangersky and the daily special.” And it’s not just cause I’m partial to it cause I was there in person. It has a main plot centered around gay lovers, physical comedy you can’t see cause it’s an audio only podcast, scatting, both Zac and Jess playing scrappy orphans, profound philosophical life lessons embedded in the extremely catchy songs, for gods sake there’s LEITMOTIFS!! THAT GET RESOLUTION!! and a talk back with a kid calling himself bob mcdoggle the hotshot broadway producer in the silliest little voice!! I felt every emotion watching it and I need to share it with someone else!!!

stop glamorizing mental illness. my mental illness doesn’t make me sexy and mysterious. it makes me like musical improv

Incredible show! Shoutouts to the livestream chat for being so fun and shout outs to the techies making it possible!
