Went to see a performance at the new arts house last night. It was by an American group called "Baby Wants Candy".
The group, made up of three men and two women, threw candies to the audience as they made their entrance. Like yeah!!! Treats!!! But I didn't manage to get hands on any. boohoohoo.
Basically, the whole performance was unrehearsed and 100% impromptu. It's done in very much the same style as the hit TV show 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?'. Here's how it works - Members of the audience are asked to give suggestions with regard to the setting, the characters, the objects etc, and the actors act out an improvised skit.
These actors are amazingly talented and quick-witted. The speed in which they can get into character and spout hilarious lines is incredible! I salute them! The hour long performance was a hoot! I don't think I've ever laughed so much in an hour!
The group will be performing for the rest of the week as part of the celebrations for the opening of the new arts house which is the old parliament house. Definitely a performance to catch just for some laughs!
