Musical Improv Class taught by Eliza Skinner

by Ben Whitehouse.

Hi improvisors. Thought you may be interested in a musical improv class taught by Eliza Skinner. If you don’t know Eliza Skinner, she is probably one of the most talented musical improvisors performing in New York at the moment. She’s part of I Eat Pandas, Stickerbook, writes for Hello Hilarious, and also performs in the online series Sexual Intercourse: American Style.

Gal’s got mad skillz.

I first saw her perform with I Eat Pandas at the Del Close Marathon this year and was absolutely blown away. I eat Pandas was the only improv act I have ever seen get a standing ovation at UCB. It was absolutely incredible.

So before you start buying yourself shit you don’t need and that will fill up your tiny New York apartment, why not buy something which will not only make you a better improvisor, but may even help that lack of rhythm you have.

Classes are Mondays November 6th-27th for a measly $130 (info here). What are you waiting for? Vamonos!

Rain

by Ben Whitehouse.

Here in New York City it’s been raining forever. Well, not really forever, but if I was a fruit-fly, I would have been born and have died and only seen rain. So, in my final class show for Shannon O’Neil’s Improv 101 class, which I totally recommend, the suggestion for our monologues was? You guessed it, rain.

And today I check my weather thing and guess what? More rain. This forecast has been the same for the last week, one more day and then it’s going to be sunny, but the sun never comes, only the rain.
