<p>Friday Jul 30 2010  Inside With: Will Luera, Artistic Director of ImprovBoston</p>
<p>Friday, July 30, 2010 at 11:41AM  By: Meghan O'Keefe</p>

<p>The Del Close Marathon not only showcases the best improv New York City has to offer, but also the best from the rest of the country. ImprovBoston will be represented by three teams this year. I spoke with Artistic Director and Mainstage Cast Member, Will Luera, about the theater’s history with the Del Close Marathon and why a Cambridge, Massachusetts theater is called "ImprovBoston."</p>

<p>Will, you've been involved with ImprovBoston since 1997. What brought you to the theater?</p>
<p>I graduated from Boston College in 1997 and my plan was to move back to Chicago or NYC. Before the move, I decided to take some improv classes in the area and I saw an ad for Marjorie Burren, an ImprovBoston alum. I took two levels and by the end of the second level she said I should audition for ImprovBoston. Luckily, they were having auditions a couple of months after classes and I got in! I left IB in 1999 to start my own improv company, Blue Screen Theater, and a year later I was hired again to be the Artistic Director of ImprovBoston.</p>

<p>How do you think ImprovBoston's approach to improv comedy differs from other theaters such as Second City, the UCB, the PIT, etc?</p>
<p>I am a big fan of Organic free-form improvisation. No structure, no form and sometimes no input. We teach our actors that every moment in a show, scene, offer can be deconstructed and can lead to another scene. We teach our actors tools on ways to deconstruct a scene and organically transition to a new one. I truly believe that every show can be entirely unique if you tune in to the sensibilities of the actors and the audience. We go with where the show takes you.</p>

<p>My biggest influence earlier in my career was Burn Manhattan. We did a workshop with them in 1999 and it completely shifted my perspective on improvisation and they're ultimately responsible for the Artistic vision of ImprovBoston today.</p>

<p>This year's marathon features three teams from ImprovBoston (ImprovBoston Mainstage, Marjean & Plan B). What should audience members expect from each of these three shows?</p>

<p>The ImprovBoston Mainstage will feature the style I just described. We have had three amazing years at DCM and we're looking forward to going back. Plan B and Marjean are Chicago-style Harold teams. Both are very talented Harold ensembles and would make Del proud.</p>

<p>How did your involvement with the Del Close Marathon begin?</p>
<p>Our first marathon was in 1999 when I took the old Sitcom Boston troupe. This was back when the festival was only 24 hours and in one space. I remember seeing the original UCB 4 all of the time as well as other - now famous - comedians.</p>

<p>Do you have a favorite Del Close Marathon memory?</p>
<p>My favorite memory was probably two years ago when I was in five different shows across three stages. I submitted all of the shows and they were all accepted. It was great to be so involved in the marathon and to get to perform so much. I also have fond memories of audience members who try to sit through the whole thing. That's just so wonderfully awesome.</p>

<p>ImprovBoston seems to have grown in the past few years. You've moved to a larger theater, organized a variety of festivals and have a growing presence on the national stage.What's next for the ImprovBoston community?</p>
<p>Artistically, I have a few things that I'm trying to focus on for this next season. I would expect more work to come out from our film team and to see us organize more scripted comedy projects. Our sketch department has grown significantly but I would also like to expand into 10-minute, one-act and full-length plays as well as screenwriting and writing for television.</p>

<p>Inquiring minds want to know--why is the theater called ImprovBoston if it is located in the city of Cambridge, MA?</p>
<p>Yes... great question! I think it's kind of how like the New York Jets actually play in Jersey. Actually, in the very early days of ImprovBoston, the group used to perform in and around Boston. Eventually, they landed a regular gig in Cambridge and soon after came a permanent home in Inman Square, Cambridge. Thus, we are stuck with the geographically incorrect description!</p>

<p>ImprovBoston Mainstage will be performing at the UCB Theatre, Saturday at 3 pm. Marjean will be performing at Hudson Guild Theatre Friday at 11:30 pm and Plan B at the Hudson Guild Theatre Saturday at 9:30 pm.</p>

<p>Tuesday, July 27, 2010 at 5:16PM</p>

<p>By: Paul Gale</p>

<p>In honor of the the last performance of "2 Square" at The UCBT-NY, before Peter Grosz moves to the Sunset Strip--or somewhere near there--I spoke with former Colbert Report writer Grosz and his "2 Square," partner in crime, 30 Rock's John Lutz, about their beginnings, their motivations, and, for a brief moment, pizza. The interview was conducted individually through email, so keep in mind that John didn't have the opportunity to retort. Enjoy!</p>

<p>When and where did you each start performing comedy?</p>

<p>John Lutz: I did a few plays in high school. The first big part I had was in "The Foreigner." For my audition, I had to tell the story of "The Three Little Pigs," in gibberish. It was really fun and I didn't have to memorize any lines.</p>

<p>Peter Grosz: I started in college. Took classes at iO starting in April of 1995, then that fall I was cast in the Mee-Ow show, Northwestern’s sketch and improv show. From that point on, no other career option had a chance. Also, I had stopped paying attention in class.</p>

<p>What were you looking for when you began studying improvisation?</p>

<p>Lutz: I saw an improv set at Second City and it looked like the most fun you could ever have. I wanted to learn how to be that funny right off the top of my head. Once I started, I thought I would be great at it right away. I was wrong. I found it very hard at first. I had to learn to do good improv and let the funny come, rather than trying for a quick laugh. Charna stopped me five or six times in my first scene because it was going so poorly.</p>

<p>Grosz: Attention. I really just wanted to be funny in front of an audience and had no idea what it took. I liked making jokes with my friends, and figured there wasn’t much of a difference. But I failed three times at my Mee-Ow auditions, so I asked someone how I could learn how to improvise. He told me to go to iO, and I realized there was way more to it than I thought.</p>

<p>When did you two first meet?</p>

<p>Lutz: I'm not 100% sure, but I think it was when I had to miss one of my level 3 classes and I sat in on the class Pete was in. I think Seth Meyers was also in that class.</p>

<p>Grosz: John (as he so rarely is) is right about that. It was in that class. Wow. I still can’t believe he got that right. I need to take a minute.</p>

<p>Did it take a while for you to hit it off creatively?</p>

<p>Lutz: We really didn't work together until "JTS Brown," which I joined after the group was already formed. What was that… 1998? 1999? I was also Pete's replacement in Greenco., a Second City Touring Company, and his understudy for his Second City ETC shows. The universe just kept throwing us together. Pete weighs less than me, so I think the universe kept throwing him a little farther ahead.</p>

<p>Grosz: I remember liking him a lot in that class, and liking what he did onstage with Valhalla, but JTS was the first place that we really got a chance to work together. And the reason John can’t remember when the show ran is because we started rehearsing in the fall of 1998, and didn’t put up shows until the spring of 2000 for only 6 months. Yeah. 18 months for a 6 month run. It was a little ridiculous, but I think the results were worth it.</p>

<p>I know you were both in "JTS Brown." Do you think that "2 Square" was more successful than "4 Square" and "JTS Brown" because of numbers, or experience? Does the intimacy of two players make it easier to stay on the same wavelength?</p>

<p>Lutz: Personally, "4 Square" was more successful than any of them. "JTS Brown" had twelve or thirteen people in it, which was too many, in my opinion (all great performers, but just too many!). "2 Square," keeps you on your toes because it's just the two of you. But when all four of the squares are together, there is nothing like it. We all bring something a little different. It really balances out the shows. All four of us got together in LA a few months back and put a show up at the Second City space out there. It was like we never stopped performing together. The only thing that was different was that we all got a little winded doing our warm up. We are old.</p>

<p>Grosz: "4 Square" is the most successful. "2 Square" is the most difficult and JTS was the most unpredictable. It was madness and genius, sometimes within the same show. But "4 Square" has the best chance of being really great and often was. A really tight, focused version of JTS – which was the reason for creating "4 Square" in the first place.</p>

<p>Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 11:28AM By: Meghan O'Keefe</p>

<p>Photo: Anya Garrett Among the chosen for this year's New Faces of Comedy at Just For Laughs Montreal was one of last year’s ECNY nominees for the emerging comic award and all-around New York alt comedy scene hero, Mike Lawrence. I talked to Mike--who's in Montreal right now--about the audition process, how he’s preparing for his performances and how comedy connects him to his mother.</p>

<p>How long have you been doing stand up and what inspired you to start?</p>
<p>I've been doing stand-up for what will be five years as of November 5th. Yes, I remember the first day I did it. I'm very sentimental. I was inspired to do it because my mom did it for years. That initially turned me off, but I realized it was something I could do too, and besides it would help me understand her more. It's worked well for that purpose.</p>

<p>If you had to describe your style to someone who had never seen you perform, what would you say?</p>
<p>I think my style is very dark but playful. A lot of the material is personal but I'd like to believe there's enough fun in the writing to keep it from being too depressing. Although sometimes I just come off as too depressing. I do not, however come off as too playful.</p>

<p>How did you find out that you were one of the New Faces of Comedy for this year's Just for Laughs Montreal?</p>
<p>I was called. I cried. I won't lie. Getting into a festival made me do something I haven't done since the montage at the beginning of Up.</p>

<p>Can you describe what the audition process entailed?</p>
<p>I found out I got the first audition in November while at a wrestling event at Madison Square Garden. I got to see a guy legdrop another guy through a table and found out I'd have a chance to get into a major comedy festival, all in the same night. Very exciting stuff. I did that first audition in December, then a callback in February, and then a final callback in May. I'd change up a joke here and there but it mostly stayed the same. I knew the set I wanted to have, and have remained focused.</p>

<p>How does knowing you'll be performing for a room of talent scouts and network executives change the way you typically prepare for a set?</p>
<p>It doesn't scare me too much. I know what I can do and have survived or triumphed in some really tough situations. I've done shows at 2am in front of seven drunk people. A packed room full of hungry people doesn't phase you when you've done some of the shows and mics I have. If anything, I've had to power down a bit and just be thankful the crowds are so great.</p>

<p>What kind of specific opportunities are you hoping to get from this experience?</p>
<p>I'd like to get some work out of it. I'm one of the unsigned comics here and while I've been working on my craft for a good long while now, it'd be cool to see it pay off a little financially. I'm hungry both literally and figuratively, for whatever opportunities come. It's more exciting than anything. Most importantly, I feel I belong here, and that's something that's really comforting. The talent of this crop of new faces is staggering.</p>

<p>Are there any other acts you are excited to see while you're in Montreal?</p>
<p>There are a few shows I'd like to see, but I think it's more important to support the other new faces if I can. I feel like we're all in this together. It's been very supportive. I will probably also catch the Kevin Smith lecture on Thursday. I can't hide who I am.</p>

<p>What's next for you when you return to New York City?</p>
<p>My best friend Dan St. Germain and I are co-headlining a night at Comix on September 16th with Mike Recine featuring and Sean Donnely headlining. I'm going to use these next two months to really prepare for that and get some new stuff. I feel hard work got me here and it's what I have to keep doing. I'll be at whatever open mics and shows are willing to have me and will continue to coproduce the Woodshed open mic on Saturdays with Dan. I want to help other comics and hope next years crop contains some of the Woodshed regulars. I have a feeling it will.</p>

<p>The Apiary | 1 Comment | 3 References tagged Mike Lawrence in Interviews , Stand Up Tuesday Jul 13 2010  Michael Patrick O'Brien: SHATTER @ The UCBT - 7.7.10</p>
<p>Tuesday, July 13, 2010 at 12:01PM  By: Paul Gale</p>

<p>SHATTER is a journey into the absurd notepad of Michael Patrick O'Brien, a former Second City Mainstage performer, founding member of the Chicago improv troupe The Reckoning, and current SNL writer.</p>

<p>With SHATTER, O'Brien creates a spectacular hour-long solo show, filled with bizarre short scenes and smart satire, which is sometimes gut-wrenchingly funny. Like any form of art, comedy is just as much about what's not there, and O'Brien's one-sided conversations, as well as a glass-aided makeout session, highlight the humor in the absent.</p>

<p>I talked to the now Emmy-nominated man behind the (giraffe) mask while we were waiting for John Lutz' and Peter Grosz' 2 Square to start. We discussed his process as well as what he's currently up to.</p>

<p>What's the difference between writing at Second City and SNL?</p>
<p>Almost all of the writing at SNL is group--you write with one or two other people, so that similarity actually translated nicely--getting together with people in a room to talk about something until it makes you laugh. The difference is at Second City, the writers would put up the sketch together, and for SNL, we hand it over to the actors, who might even be in the room with you while you're writing it. With Saturday Night, instead of getting more nervous, I am kind of done, you know? At 11:30, I hand it over to the trusty actors, and I'm like "You guys are hilarious, go rock it," whereas my nerves used to get heightened at Second City as the evening came, because I had to perform it.</p>

<p>So, when you're writing for yourself, do you go through the same motions? Is it harder to write by yourself?</p>
<p>Writing for myself, for a solo show like this, is easy because it's not as regimented of a process as writing other material. I don't set down a time, sit, and mathematically calculate solo stuff. This is all of the stuff that comes into my head while life is happening. I have a little notebook where I keep these ideas. So it's actually kind of a by-product.</p>

<p>Is this show especially fun, now that most of your work is behind the scenes?</p>
<p>Definitely. I love getting to go back to Chicago and do a Reckoning show too, because I miss playing with people. But the cool thing about solo work is that you can control everything, which is also the fun thing about group work -- you can't control, and you have to learn that lesson: something goes weird, and you just have to go with it and be weird. But with a solo show, I can literally be like "I want this song, at this volume, at this point in the song." For example, during SHATTER, I picked the middle of the Black Eyed Peas song to get loud, because it's most annoying there. For a somewhat-control freak like myself, the solo work is fun for that reason. After a lot of that, I just want to be with a group, and let it be a mess.</p>

<p>Yes, that Black Eyed Peas part was a very weird, very great part of the show. How long is the run?</p>
<p>Well, this was to get me ready for the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival and then one more here on July 26th. This is the first performance here, besides the one I did in March.</p>

<p>Anything else you'd like to let the readers know about?</p>
<p>Well, The Reckoning will be at the Del Close Marathon in a couple of weeks. I'm also going up at little open mikes, but those are just me starting to figure out standup.</p>

<p>Had you done any standup in Chicago?</p>
<p>Oh, probably only five times the entire time I was there.</p>

<p>Wasn't your thing?</p>
<p>No, it's just that I had four improv projects, three others that I was coaching, and your time just gets eaten up by it. I wanted it to be my thing, but I just never got out to do it.</p>

<p>Catch both The Reckoning as well as one last performance of SHATTER at the UCB Theater later this month.</p>

<p>Wednesday, July 7, 2010 at 11:51AM</p>

<p>By: Meredith Haggerty</p>

<p>MTV’s new documentary series Warren the Ape chronicles the trials and tribulations of the down-on-his-luck thespian and “Fabricated American” Warren as he struggles toward sobriety and attempts to regain the spotlight, with help from his therapist -- TV’s own Dr. Drew. I talked to creators Dan Milano, Sean Baker, and Spencer Chinoy about Warren’s Salvation Army beginnings, what it means to equip a drunken puppet with a camera crew, and what else we can expect to see this season (Corey Feldman!).</p>

<p>Warren the Ape, as both a TV show and a puppet, has had a long and storied history. Can you tell us about where and how you all started out?</p>

<p>Dan Milano: I'm so used to answering questions as Warren that I immediately bristled upon your use of the word "puppet," when his people clearly prefer "Fabricated American." Fortunately, I'm much more forgiving on the subject. Our creative partnership began a few years after we'd all graduated from NYU's Tisch School, which is where we'd all met. We were out of work and doing a show on public access television, where the Greg the Bunny character was created.</p>

<p>Before long, we started making interstitial material for movies that were airing on IFC, which included not only a short film starring Greg, but trivia segments that would educate the viewer on the weekly movie. Since Greg was a dim-witted and easily distracted character, we found it difficult for him to deliver trivial information. So it was for this purpose that the character of Warren was originally created. Warren's only job was to deliver trivia information to the camera in an efficient way, but Spencer and Sean would often make it very difficult for him.</p>

<p>As part of our long improv sessions in which I performed the puppet, they would tease or disrespect Warren, or scold him for having shown up to work unprepared. As you can imagine, this became the more entertaining aspect of our trivia segments - and the character of Warren was "found" over time. We established his desperation to be taken seriously, despite his being a puppet with a ridiculous helmet on his head. We saw him as a talented and well-trained thespian who would never be taken seriously, and so it drove him to drink. Warren was a natural foil for Greg the Bunny, so his</p>
<p>character eventually started appearing in our narrative films. It was a challenge for me to play both roles</p>
<p>simultaneously, but we managed it surprisingly often. I was literally working two-handed in those days, having improvised conversations with myself under Sean and Spencer's direction.</p>

<p>Eventually, both characters were featured on our FOX series, as well as on our return to IFC.</p>

<p>Spencer Chinoy: We started the original show back in the mid 90's. We were all bored with our day jobs and Manhattan public access was free and seemed like fun. We each had other projects we were working on, and Junktape was a hobby that soon became our main creative focus. When we started the show, we were shooting on VHS and editing between two VCRs.</p>

<p>Sean Baker: Warren's physical being was found one fateful day in a Salvation Army on 8th st. in NYC. He was just a monkey puppet. To make him our own, we attached a helmet and gave new eyes. Warren began as a very proper, married British gentleman who was down on his luck and stuck with a film trivia gig on Greg's show. This reserved, intelligent man is Warren in his sober state.... a state that we will rarely see on MTV.</p>

<p>In Greg’s show, there was one episode entitled "The 13th Step" which was the first episode to focus primarily on Warren. We follow him as he stays overnight in a seedy Times Square hotel following a separation from his wife. We actually killed him off at the end of the episode when he downs a bottle of pills. We came to like the character so much that in editing, we tacked on an epilogue in which he has his stomach pumped. From that point on, he became Greg's regular co-star.</p>

<p>Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 3:36PM</p>

<p>By: Brian Perry</p>

<p>Marking its seventh anniversary this week, the Providence Improv Festival will once again bring big improv fest atmosphere to the smallest state in the nation. With the launch of the festival lingering, producer Melissa Bowler gave us a sneak preview of what's new and exciting for this year.</p>

<p>How did you end up becoming the producer of the Providence Improv Festival?</p>

<p>This is my first year as producer, so I'm learning a lot. Delegation and follow up is huge. I had been on the committee organizing the festival for the past five years, which I initially got involved in through one of the local groups I was improvising with. I’ve also produced fundraisers and variety nights in the past and I teach theater in a variety of capacities in Rhode Island. So my involvement in the community led to the role rather than anything money related – it is a volunteer position and the festival operates year to year from a fund established from previous festivals.</p>

<p>How many years has the festival been running?</p>

<p>Seven years. It's kind of a stretch, but we've been going with a dog theme in our marketing since one year is seven dog years. To celebrate we're going to kick off the festival by reliving the first year. It was initially just local groups Unexpected Company, Improv Jones and Speed of Thought Players so that's the lineup we've got for our first show on Wednesday. It's all amazing and barely intentional symbolism.</p>

<p>Any shows or big events throughout the week that you're excited about?</p>

<p>Personally one of the groups I'm looking forward to the most is Grandma Hates Technology. It's a father and daughter duo from New York and the daughter is a middle school aged girl. Reading the description of the group I was worried it was going to be sketchy but their submission tape was really good improv. She holds her own. I'm excited to see them. I'm also excited for Never Have I(mprov) Ever. It's based on the drinking game - they play it truthfully with a rotating cast and then improvise based on what comes out during the drinking game. It works out well since this will also be our first year serving beer and wine at all of the venues. That show should flow seamlessly into our after party.</p>

<p>We're also doing a two by two tournament on Saturday. Any performer in the festival is encouraged to put their name into the hat an hour before the show. Then we'll randomly pull teams with the rule that you can only be paired with someone you don't currently perform with. We'll field eight two person teams for ten minute sets and the top two teams based on audience vote will get a twenty minute set on Sunday. It's hopefully a way to do something like an open jam without it being such a trainwreck.</p>

<p>Last year, the festival was only open to local groups, but this year you opened things up nationally, correct?</p>

<p>Although the fest is national this year, the bulk of the groups are mainly Rhode Island, Boston, and New York. We also have one group from LA and one group that's split between Boston and Maine but that's about it. I think there was a little confusion related to being local one year and national the next year. And we also ended up unintentionally scheduled at the same time as the Twin Cities Improv Festival.</p>

<p>Are you planning on keeping it national next year?</p>

<p>Yes. We heard from a few groups outside of the Northeast after submissions closed saying that they wish they knew the fest was open to national groups again. Hopefully that interest will continue to build for next year's festival.</p>

<p>The Providence Improv Festival runs from June 23rd to June 27th in Downtown Providence, Rhode Island and features 37 teams including Chet Watkins,ImprovBoston Mainstage,Junior Varsity, Neutrino Boston , Bastards Inc., Mrs Esterhouse, and 31 more.</p>

<p>The Apiary | 1 Comment tagged Melissa Bowler , Providence Improv Festival in EXCLUSIVELY at The Apiary , Interviews Tuesday Jun 15 2010  It Takes 20 Minutes to Apply a Thick Coat of Snooki Makeup to Bobby Moynihan</p>
<p>Tuesday, June 15, 2010 at 12:29PM</p>

<p>The SNL fansite, Live From New York, It's Saturday Night, just posted a terrific Q&A with Bobby Moynihan. Amongst other things, Bobby goes into great detail about the audition process, writing the Single Ladies sketch, and his blinding turn as Snooki.</p>

<p>> One of my favourite recurring characters/impressions from season 35 was Snooki, who of course you played. I think what's great about it is that you're not just doing a dead-on impression of her, but you've turned her into a character. So, could you talk about the genesis of that impression? Also, one reader was curious as to how long it takes to remove the orange make-up?!</p>

<p>[I] remember writing down "Italian Girl gets punched in the face" I thought it might be funny for update. I didn't even know who Snooki was. Then I started watching the show and I fell in love. That girl is a cartoon character. She is just the free-est of spirits. When I finally saw the episode and they cut it I was amazed. They showed it like a thousand times a day for a week and then said that it was inappropriate so they pulled it. Amazing. I think I just thought about it and wrote down the Garfield line about being orange and loving lasanga and that was it. My good friend Christine Nangle had been hired on the show and we wanted to write together. I pitched her the idea of me playing Snooki on Update. Nangle is brilliant and we work great together. I think we wrote the first one in like twenty minutes. It just flowed. We sat on the couch outside the elevator and just hammered it out. I just remember that we kept saying that it shouldn't be mean. It should be what she would really say if she had a chance to be on Update. It was totally different at dress. Much more subdued. And less orange. Then Seth improvised something and I just did that laugh to recover. The laugh got the biggest laugh. That made me feel good and Nangle said "DO THAT LAUGH AS MUCH AS YOU CAN" On air, I think I just felt comfortable with Seth and the one was much more joyous and carefree. I think that's why people like her and the bit. Just an idiot having fun being an idiot. And every time we do it she gets more and more orange. Also Nangle is brillaint. She wrote the "Prison Jumpsuit" line from the Alec Baldwin episode. That line is pure genius and pure Nangle. Another crazy surreal moment was watching the real Snooki watch the clip on an MTV special. She seemed moved and touched. I just wanted to remind her that I was a dude painted orange and that she should not be as flattered.</p>

<p>It takes about twenty minutes to get the orange on. It's all Josh and Louis, the best makeup guys in the business.
