MPIII Rocks Dallas Comedy at the Black Box
Huge thanks to everyone who made it; there was a roller-coaster of comedy in Dallas that night the improv show was a huge blast! To surreal and funny to describe (yeah, you can try, but wow!), it was a great night of comedy! We did want to say, that even with the amazing bit on turkey bacon (you had to see it) that no actual turkeys or comedians were injured in the scene.
The show line up, for those who want to know what we actually call these bizzare comedy structures;
- Try that on for size – the action one where some things are best left undone (pat calling himself out!).
- Foreign Movie – Actors and translators doing that famous Esparanto classic “Plan 8 from Detroit”
- Slide Show – Comic world tour with our ’slides’ showing off wild vacations from the audience.
- Lines from a hat – We take lines supplied by the audience (like woah! you guys) and integrate them into our scenes.
- Three Things – A crazy epic game where Rox has to figure out different wacky messed up activities based off the gibberish and antics of the other cast: Football with turkey bacon, and litter box tribbles, oh my!
- Short Scenes – Never before has a post-it held so much power – side splitting and surreal this structure is where the actors give a no-holds barred interpretation of audience suggestions.
- Clap Scene – Three scenes, six actors, 12 hands – tons of laughs.
- Long Form – Two short stories inspired by audience suggestions and actor monologues - some serious, some zany, all art – this is improv.
- Worlds Worst – MPIII’s grand closer, one of our most popular games. We take your situations and make the worst of them! A real crowd favorite “…and now for the politically incorrect portion of our show…”
Huge thanks to everyone who made it to the show, make sure to sign up for our mailing list for future show info and discounts, and we hope to see all of you again. Leave us a comment if you had a favorite momeent, or a request for a future show!

That was a hilarious show!
Here are a couple of photos I took afterward while you were all obligingly demonstrating comedy and tragedy…

Thanks for the pics and the comment about the show. We had a GREAT time and here’s hoping everyone else did too!
Um… I just want to say that I didn’t choose that avatar for my previous comment.
I am making plans to come to the show in March…. really looking forward to Scarborough this season. The wife unit is making new costumes for the girls right now… I’m carving a new staff for the Merlin costume.
2010 is going to be an awesome year!
