Hey all,
Spencer and I are performing again with our wonderful friends and team, Your Mom’s Mom. 8pm @ Relapse Theatre in Midtown.
I love humor. I mean, who doesn’t? And we all have a different sense of what is funny. But humor has gotten me through some really difficult times in my life. After my mom passed away, my sister and I stayed up ALL night drinking and talking about my mom’s life, her legacy. Their were sad moments of course…but what got us through that night was the ability to laugh about the times that were not sad.
My husband and I are very close. One thing that makes us really close us is that we share the same brain. Seriously. I know what is going to make him laugh. And he, well, he cracks me up every day and evening. My kids have even adopted a love for inside jokes, a love for hearty laughter, and a slightly skewed perspective on life. It is what binds us.
I love playing with Your Mom’s Mom, not because we are the best damn improvisers (although we aren’t too shabby most of the time), but because we laugh.
GAMES
If you watch a YMM show you will notice we play games. We aren’t really doing this just for the audience, we do it for us too. Even in our rehearsal workshops we play games…we play games when we are just hanging out. We can’t help ourselves. We make each other laugh AND that is what we want to share with our audiences. There is something wonderfully communal about live theatre…there is something totally kick-ass about sharing a laugh with everyone else.
I invite my friends and you to see a show. Say hello after the show and tell us your thoughts. The best way to enjoy one of our shows is to bring a friend or two. I mean, we like more audience members, but really you will have a better time with a date, a friend, a mom or a dad, siblings or someone you met that day who doesn’t seem too creepy. Leave creepy people at home. Oh, and not that they are creepy, but we suggest leaving the kiddos at home too.
