Absolute lmprov will try to bring the comedy title belts back to campus after facing off with Wymprovf
lmprov: Two seven-round matchups
m Continued from Page 5
years ago in Agate Hall for a
women’s coffee house group, and
Wymprov! was created. The
group currently performs as a the
ater group once or twice per
month locally, as well as out of
town.
Aside from Absolute Improv’s
show with Yale's improv group,
The Exit Players, last spring, nei
ther Absolute Improv nor Wym
prov! typically participate in
competitions. Both groups say
they are enthusiastic about the
show for the Lord Leebrick The
atre and are looking forward to
the competition.
Vicki Silver of Wymprov! says
she has seen Absolute Improv
perform and enjoys its show, al
though the two groups have dif
ferent styles of comedy.
“Absolute Improv is a younger
group of people who use a differ
ent kind of physical comedy,”
said Silver. “It’s like the differ
ence between speed skating and
figure skating — just a different
kind of energy.”
Scott Vogel and Michael Govi
er, both of Absolute Improv, said
they agree.
“We haven’t had the opportuni
ty to see them perform, but I think
they do have a different energy.
AI is very physically energetic,”
said Govier.
The two groups will collaborate
on an opening number, which
will have the boxing-related
theme of "Rocky.” The competi
tion will consist of each team
working from a suggestion from
an audience member. A panel of
judges made up of local media
personalities, such as KEZI's John
Fischer, will render decisions af
ter each round. Jeff Foley of the
Lord Leebrick Theatre said the
match is all in good fun and joked
that the panel of judges will open
ly accept bribes.
“The Lord Leebrick Theatre
primarily produces theatrical pro
ductions, but we’re looking for
ward to this show because it
should be a lot of fun, and it
brings a new audience to the the
ater,” Foley said.
