GREG SAYS, GREAT TO BE BACK

Swell show last night, which I suspect was inspired in part by the success of the Beatles version of GUITAR BAND or ROCK HERO, whichever one it is. YOKO OH NO by Christine Turner brought the house down and won the award this week, which thanks to my forgetting to buy a new trophy was a bottle of Bitters from the bar, which actually turned out to be kind of fun. Thank God I didn't grab the Roses Lime Juice instead.

This week I was really struck my how much the audience affects the show. That might be an obvious point, but each crowd has it's own energy and personality. It's so much fun to play with from the stage. I hope it feels that way in the house as well. We're at the Triad for another three weeks (Fridays at 10PM) so make sure to come by and be part of the fun.

Afterward we went to the Candle Bar on Amsterdam and two women in their 40s tried to pick Daniel (our marketing guy, looking great in a tux) and I up. See what you miss when you're not there???

Thought on the show by Rob...

Getting back up to do the show last night after a break of several months was a fun and scary thing! I consider myself a seasoned improviser. I perform improvisation usually 3-5 times a week. I tend these days to not feel nervous before a show as much as excited and yet Broadway's Next Hit Musical still makes me nervous. It is a challenging show to do because there is so much to keep in mind and yet the ultimate trick is to not really keep much in mind at all except the present moment. Add to that the fact that we hadn't done the show in awhile and you get a nice healthy dose of nerves.So, what is the antidote to this nervousness? It's to relax and relate to the audience in a true fun way and to remember that we are all in it together. Cheezy but true!Oh yeah and btw...whoever thought of the song title, "Yoko Ono"...hilarious!Come see our show again next Friday at 10!
