#spank show

Hey Everyone!

Reservations for Leann Bowen and I's sketch show about my monstrous past relationship are available. Grab one and save the date June 19th for some comedy fun!!!

One of my proudest shows was never happened because of negativity within a 3-person sketch/improv group- FIC.

We had spent 3 months writing and practicing for a sketch show that was almost entirely without dialogue. We had ran 3 or 4 up in Not Too Shabby and gotten great reviews. We had signed up for UCB’s Spank Show, which gave sketch shows a viewing at UCB, and if they did well- were asked to come back. Since you sign up 3 months in advance, they frown on you backing down with two weeks to go.

We had promotional videos, and postcards made. Then the fighting started. All I heard was, ‘I’ve only written 2 of these 8’, or doubts on if they were as funny as we thought. I fought so hard to keep this going, yet 1/3 of a group isn’t enough to do the show. Like bad actors, they didn’t believe the motto ‘The show must go on’ and cancelled.

I didn’t want to keep getting disappointed by them, or be labelled as someone who always back down from my word at the theatre, so I did what I had to, and dropped out of the group. Never did another show with Amy Vorpahl ever again, but I did really have a blast being on a team with her till then.
