SAD2012 #'s 7+8 (Rappin Ronny & Closing Time)

Rappin Ronny

This is more of a sight gag blackout than anything else. Basically I have an actor onstage in headphones rocking out to something the audience can't hear. Once they realize there is an audience watching them, they sheepishly offer their headphones to the audience. Once this happens the joke is made by what plays over the loudspeakers. It's not what you might think. I'll have to leave you at that or else you'll know the whole bit.

Closing Time


For this sketch I took what I had seen in my dreams the night before and decided to give them voices. Our main character needs to have a talk with some of his closest friends. He needs to end their relationship so he can move on with his life. Hilarious stuff I know. However when you find out who his friends are, you might just understand why he's having such a hard time leaving. The ending turned a bit sappy but thanks to some quick thinking by my lovely fiance, it morphed into a nice button on the scene. I will say though, it came out to 5 pages in my notebook, so should I want to perform the piece, it will need some revising. HEAVY REVISING.



Also on my mind today, the fact that my bathroom is now an Aperture Laboratories Science Lab thanks to some wonderful decoration on the part of said fiance. My only concern is that since the toilet seat cover is orange and the bath mat is blue, I may end up with things on the bathroom ceiling and walls that were not meant to be there in the first place. Ah but all in the name of SCIENCE!!!

Coming soon (i.e. Tuesday night) The next "In Pour Taste" where I continue my quest to drink every liquid inside and outside my apartment. I was informed however that the post on this intoxicating liquid Drain-O will have to be postponed due to my inability to stay conscious during the tasting phase.

Also if any of my readers have anything they'd like me to taste and review, please send me an email, leave a comment, or just find me on the street and shove it into my hands while screaming "The End Times Are Upon Us!" like my good friend Rory did last week.
