It's a Three-peat!

Well, I passed on going to London this weekend for the Canadian Comedy Awards. I felt like I really needed the extra time to rehearse my show. I think having my lines memorized is a good priority to set!

As it turns out, we won our category "Best Improv Troupe". It was really unexpected. We lost to Monkey Toast last year, and I had anticipated they or Catch23 would take the title this year. We just need to win one more time so that each of the members of the troupe can have a trophy of their own. That'd make us the Lakers of Improv.

In the grand scheme of things, winning this award doesn't mean all that much, (it's not going to get us a TV deal, or make us famous) but it's kind of neat to know that "your peers" voted for you. That's the nice part.

I'm really excited about how the Bad Dog House Cast is shaping up. We've had really solid performances to great houses. We're setting records for "Pay What You Can" revenue at the theatre, and as I keep telling the cast - people don't pay big money if they don't like the show. You see twenty dollar bills going into the hat? You did good.
Directing this cast of enthusiastic and talented improvisors has been one of the most rewarding creative experiences I've ever had. I'm really grateful for the opportunity, and for the commitment level from the cast. Very exciting!
