Nerd Improv - not just for nerds anymore!

Nerd Improv (aka Nerdprov) started last week and I get to play again tonight! Night #1 was fun times, it was basically the 1st half was NerdProv and the 2nd half was the 'veterans' doing whatever improv they do. So the actual Nerd part was about half an hour only but it was fun.

Between games was trivia, including easy, medium and hard questions (Eric Fell was able to list 11 actors who have played Dr. Who, gaining us 20 points) and the games were regular improv games with a simple twist. We played interrogation, for example, and I had to guess the weapon was Gandalph's staff and I did it in Narnia. Another scene was 'Moving People' where they acted out the movie The Bourne Identity but the trivia (questions ranged from Star Wars, Dr Who, Indiana Jones, etc) was the main part that made it nerdy.

Jen (of T23 fame) and her boyfriend John came out (since they live down the street) and John went up for moving people and Ian gave out prizes and John got Monty Python Season 2 which I thought was a pretty sweet prize! The winning team (mine and Eric's, FYI) also got prizes from Ian Boothby's private comic collection stock which was pretty cool of him. I got Catwoman: Dark End of the Street, Kristin got Sandman Chronicles and Eric got Batman: The Long Halloween, some very nice scores.

Shows are Monday night at 8PM at Chivana Restaurant on West 4th. If you need a landmark, it's 2 blocks west of the The Comic Shop on 4th and Arbutus, which you should all know well.
