Show Fore...

Monday, May 25, 2009


It finally went down i.e. the show we (the cast and hopefully some followers) have all been so hyped up about. Lets see... what did happen?

It was a blast. Amazing. Our quirky cast did quite some justice with every situation provided. On the contrary, the crowd was amazing, quirky themselves at times, and completely supportive. We've had shows before that even I haven't attended but watched recently our own Party Quirks channel, and trust me, this was a show that topped off the rest. Supposedly, all those practice sessions are finally materializing. There was a not-so-slight temperature problem due to malfunction in the air conditioning but once the show started, it was highly regretted. The problem was peacefully solved by the high spirited crowd and amazing performances making it practically perfect. But still, sorry guys. We'll try not to leave ANY loose ends in the next show. :)

Back to the performances...

Ovais, Jawwad, and Fahad, the great witted gurus of our Imporv show were just out there. Everything was perfectly executed with the highest aptitude within fractions of seconds to think. Its amazing how fast the human brain can work. They are the most senior people of the crazy world of Improv at least in this city and most probably in this country. Always supportive and ready to give their best. Ovais was hosting the show and has a talent of involving the crowd in the show and waking the sleepy ones as soon as it starts rolling. As always, he gave it his best and hit the mark every time. Jawwad, who is our imported Improviser, tends to touch entirely new levels of performance when he's not all quite (the rest of the time) and being the sober uncle character he is. Its as if this guy is absorbing all the energy he can till a point when it is entirely converted to quirkiness and explodes like a volcano. Lastly and equally important is Fahad, who came all the way from Lahore the same day and despite lacking completely in practice, pulled out a performance that was extremely unbelievable. It was naturally done as if he was born to quirk. All three have exceptional talents and have delivered more than what was expected and deserve a standing ovation. *clap clap clap*

There were also two new Quirkers in this show. It was Black and my own good self. Well, about the performances...

Being a musician and performing regularly before an audience, Black was a natural. He came, he saw, he conquered. It was an not just an exceptionally amazing performance, moreover, a 'debut gone wild.' The darkness shined bright illuminating everything around it. On the other hand, I had my own performance (yes yes, I tried performing too). Keeping in mind the bone chilling looks of the crowd and this being my first time, lets just give some credit and say it was a satisfactory performance. Oh what the hell, I sucked. I sucked big time. To hell with that. Its a team game right? What matters here is that the show was a hit. I've discovered a way to rid the butterflies phase and go head on (no, literally) into the situation with the help of my buddies/mentors today. I'm sure I'll do better next time. Till then I have my buddies to cover my ass. Perfect.

On a more serious note, about the show; if you missed it, its sad. If you didn't; well that's self explanatory. Don't worry people, you'll see more of us soon, especially a lot of Ovais (sorry dude, it was just too tempting). So keep reading and we'll let you know when we're going to dig in your pockets (not too deep) again.

Signing off.
