Zap2it has a report here on last night’s “Dharma Station: UCB: A ‘Lost’ Comedy Event, the evening of ‘Lost’-themed sketches. Damn, was it a blast. No, I’m not just glad to be there: That’s a papaya in my shirt.
It’s a safe bet I’ll be hanging out a bit at the UCB for the foreseeable future. The comedians are hysterical and friendly. Sigh.
Tonight I’ll be performing on stage at the UCB (Upright Citizens Brigade), the galactically-renowned comedy theatre (well, plus the one in NYC, too..). They’re having a special show of Lost-themed skits and the tickets sold out faster than _____ (insert favorite Lost analogy here; the clock’s running on their usability). The link to the show and the comedy regulars is here.
My skit was written by Jarrad Paul; requires a good bit of improv (somebody stop me!); and will feature moi and him; and be — oh, I think you know this already — HI-larious. Also, I bought two papayas. I have no idea how I’m going to use them in the skit. But I will. Oh, I will.
My, my, my. Five months just doesn’t take as long to slip by as it used to, does it? Well, no use blaming Mother Earth and Father Time for this one. Mea culpa, big time. My apologies for the absence — but those aliens just wouldn’t bring me back, no matter what I said. Okay, enough tomfoolery. Lost, er, Lots to catch up on.
My time with the Public’s Theatre’s Shakespeare Lab (see earlier post) is drawing to a close, unfortunately. We’ve finished classes and rehearsed our show, A Sad and Merry Madness. This week we present the show around the five boroughs of NYC, and we conclude our performances next weekend in the Hamptons with a fundraiser for the Public Theatre, hosted by Alec Baldwin. Details are here and here!
Please forgive the tardiness of this post. In faith, I have a good reason: a head full o’ Bard. In mid-June I began the intensive Shakespeare Lab at NYC’s Public Theatre.
