And I Thought It Was Going To Be A Slow News Day

by Ben Whitehouse.

Well smack me up and call me Susan. More reports are trickling in that the UCB has gone topsy turvey and added people to teams left and right. You talk about a shake up? I’ll give you a shake up.

Alright here’s the dilly with recap:

  • Adam Pally (Hotsauce, Beverly Hills) is now a member 1985
  • Chelsea Clarke (Bombardo, Tantrum) has moved to fwänd
  • Betsy Stover (Cowbot, Ice-Nine) is now a member of T.R.U.C.K.S. (is this new?)
  • Ryan Karels (Creep, Krompf) is now a member of DeCoster (replacing Eugene Cordero)
  • Ben Schwartz (Hotsauce, T.R.U.C.K.S.) is now a member of Tantrum
  • David Siegel is now a member of Tantrum (WOOT!)
  • Jeffrey Marx (Tantrum) has moved to Beverly Hills

Alright the real news for me is David Siegel. I’ve improvised with this dude a whole bunch and he’s the real deal. Before my old group Joe Loves Hobos was axed, Dave was added because he is one of the smartest players out there. This is big news and is going to make Harold night and Fridays at Under St. Marks even more difficult to miss. Congratulations Dave.

Gil Ozeri, Adam Pally, and Ben Schwartz, the members of Hotsauce, are all now back on teams. Not particularly meaningful, other than I like that all three are back in NYC. Makes UCB feel like home.

Other interesting news is the absence of Eugene Cordero from the lineups, which makes me a little sad. I always look forward to seeing Eugene on Harold night. I really don’t want to elaborate without the facts, but I’m sure he’ll turn up sooner or later.

Okay, so Eugene has turned up, a little sooner than expected, on Reuben Williams replacing Chris Kula who has moved out to LA to become rich and famous writing for MADtv. Congrats Euge! I’m exhausted, I need a nap.

Chelsea Clarke and Adam Pally do the Shuffle

by Ben Whitehouse.

Da, da, da, da. Do the the shuffle…

Okay now I’m ahead of the curve, rumor through the grapevine is Chelsea Clarke, of Tantrum, will be filling Shannon O’Neill’s spot on fwänd and Adam Pally, formerly of Beverly Hills, will be filling Will Hines’ spot on 1985.

How was that for a run on sentence?

These are both really interesting moves. Chelsea one of my favorite players currently on a Harold team. Her growth as an improviser, over the last year, has been incredible. Bringing her onto fwänd is a really smart move and one I had not seen coming.

Adam Pally is also a wonderful performer, who was surprisingly not put on any Harold Team in the Decoster, Reynard, $12k shuffle a few weeks back. This was really surprising as Pally is an really smart player and played such an integral role in Beverly Hills. Seeing him again a few weeks back in the Hotsauce Cage-Match reminded me of what a strong player he is. I’m interested to see what effect he has on the 1985 line up. Being such a different player than Will Hines I’m interested how the team incorporates Pally’s abilities.

So, watch for the announcements, see if I’m full of shit, and go see these two new line ups.
