00:00 - 00:03 | Only two turned up for the improv class today |
00:04 - 00:05 | They said others have joined |
00:05 - 00:07 | Acting classes here |
00:08 - 00:12 | Some have auditioned for outdoor threatre work and have been selected |
00:12 - 00:15 | for Shakespeare in the Park |
00:17 - 00:19 | walking distance from here |
00:19 - 00:21 | with a cricket field |
00:24 - 00:26 | There is something else |
00:27 - 00:28 | Some have |
00:31 - 00:33 | Some have expressed a desire to do panto |
00:34 - 00:36 | and prefer to be the back end of a horse |
00:53 - 00:58 | If you're facebook friends with them then leave |
01:13 - 01:15 | I saw this coming |
01:15 - 01:17 | The hapless and talent less pile of garbage |
01:18 - 01:23 | Just because they do improv they think they can make people laugh |
01:25 - 01:28 | with their one liners |
01:29 - 01:31 | No regard for truth in comedy |
01:31 - 01:34 | They come here after a hard day at work |
01:34 - 01:37 | and expect to be on form to accept and add |
01:37 - 01:40 | They struggle with the warmups |
01:40 - 01:42 | But some of them suffer from arthritis and hernia |
01:42 - 01:46 | They have no comprehension of the value of tongue twisters |
01:46 - 01:48 | but they have never got their knickers in the twist |
01:48 - 01:52 | They can't even do a simple ho chi ha without |
01:53 - 01:54 | punching holes in the plasterboard |
01:56 - 01:57 | They think it's a social night out |
01:57 - 02:00 | off to the pub later for a beer |
02:00 - 02:03 | and dollops of ketchup on their fish, chips and mushy peas |
02:04 - 02:08 | They watch "who's line is it anyway" and |
02:08 - 02:13 | and expect to be as good as Paul Merton |
02:14 - 02:16 | Don't they realise it takes practice |
02:17 - 02:21 | and a 3 year course in Dramatic Arts to get to that level |
02:27 - 02:29 | We gave them free coffee |
02:30 - 02:34 | and cookies baked by my dear mother |
02:34 - 02:36 | but they wanted chocolate McVities |
02:41 - 02:42 | and a ciggy break |
02:43 - 02:47 | What are they expecting for £3 a night for one day of the week |
02:48 - 02:53 | Can't do "questions only" and they want to do "Long Form" |
02:54 - 02:56 | Some arrive late and miss warmups |
02:56 - 02:59 | then complain about pulling a muscle |
03:00 - 03:02 | Excuses about traffic every week |
03:04 - 03:07 | It's OK , they have crochet classes next door |
03:14 - 03:16 | Everyone wants to be an actor |
03:19 - 03:23 | reading scripts and I partly blame my mother's cookies which |
03:25 - 03:26 | cause diarrhea |
03:31 - 03:33 | and muscular spasms |
03:40 - 03:46 | creativity is dead and they got taken in by social media tripe |
03:46 - 03:49 | the motivational memes on social media |
03:53 - 03:56 | Dream on suckers. |
