Improv-a-Ganza POST OF EPICNESS!
Listen up, everyone!
So, as it turns out, I haven't actually posted anything in close to a month, which is insanity for me. But there is a good reason for that. I have developed a new obsession! (I know, everyone is shocked by this super sudden and completely surprising revelation!) For those of you who aren't following me on twitter or tumblr (or who are pointedly ignoring me, which I don't blame you for, BTW), you may have noticed I've sort of been obsessing over something new. Today, I am here to present this new obsession to you, and highlight why this show is SO DAMN AMAZING and why EVERYONE SHOULD BE WATCHING IT!
What show is this, might you be asking? I will tell you:
DREW CAREY’S IMPROV-A-GANZA is a lively, unpredictable and hilarious half-hour of improvised sketch comedy, complete with audience participation. The show is based on a series of live improv performances and are taped live in front of audiences at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

But basically, it's SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT! It's brilliant and ridiculously hilarious and lovely and just one of the most enjoyable shows I've ever watched! Plus, you'll never get pissed off with poorly written storylines, character inconsistencies, and continuity errors, because it's all live, and all made up on the spot by real live genuises! Seriously! ♥
Improv-a-Ganza Stars...
You may know many of these fine gentlemen from a little show called Whose Line is it Anyway? It was an improv show that ran for close to two decades between the UK and the US. It also happened to be one of my very first fandoms, about 12 years ago, so these guys hold a special place in my heart ♥
Jeff is brilliant, hilarious, gorgeous and is possibly the most adorable person on this show. He has absolutely NO sense of personal space whatsoever, loves to lie down on the ground, and spends half the time doubled over in laughter at his colleagues/friends. He has an amazing voice, makes the best faces, and is just so damn hilarious I can't even stand it. Without a doubt, one of the strongest, if not THE strongest all-around performers on this show!
Chip, in my humble opinion, has the BEST voice out of everyone. He is so funny and sweet and I just grin from ear to ear every time he's on my screen. Chip is so fantastic, and he makes the most incredible duo with Jeff, when they're singing or in a scene together. Plus, he's also sexy as hell and an amazing performer!
Anyone who's ever seen Ryan in action before will know that he's basically the King of Improv. There is absolutely nothing this man cannot do, and brilliantly too, I might add. You can basically be guaranteed that any scene he's in will have you crying with laughter, because he's just that good.
Colin is possibly the most ridiculous performer I have EVER seen. There are no limits, no bounds to what Colin will do for a laugh. He can't sing worth his life, but the lengths he will go to in order to avoid singing is hilarious enough to make your stomach hurt from laughing so hard. He's a complete ham in the best kind of way, and just one of the funniest guys on the entire show!
I've had the pleasure of interacting with Brad in the past through e-mail and online chats, and I am happy to report that he is just such an awesome and genuine person. Not only that, but he's just so funny and has such a sharp wit. He's always willing to do whatever he has to to ensure the success of a scene. Plus, he's completely adorable in everything he does.
Greg is such a hilarious comic, and his improv is nothing less than awesome! He can take whatever someone throws at him and just work with it. I've also had the pleasure of meeting Greg in person before, and he was just the most lovely, wonderful person ever. I have nothing but respect and admiration for his kindness and his talent!
Heather wasn't in very much of this season, and I don't know much about her improv background, but she sure holds her own. She's such a clever and hilarious woman, who also happens to write for SNL. Her perkiness is adorable, and she always adds so much to whatever scene she's in. I've enjoyed getting to know and watch her!
Jonathan is adorable, lovely and just so full of ridiculousness that you can't help but love him. He does the craziest things in his scenes and his joy in performing is obvious whenever he's up on stage. I believe he's newer to the improv game as well, but you can't really tell with this funny man! He also makes the best faces!
While Drew lacks the experience and some of the talent of the other long-time performers, he actually makes up for it in heart and enthusiasm. At times he's really impressed me, both with his comedy as well as his singing voice. You can tell that even though it doesn't come as easily for Drew, he still loves improv, and I enjoy watching him do it!
Wayne has a beautiful voice and is just an all around beautiful person. He's so funny and quick and has such a great connection with all of his former Whose Line co-stars. Wayne wasn't around that much this season, but he definitely contributed a great deal when he WAS there.
Kathy isn't as experienced as the others in her improv, and while she's not my favourite performer of the bunch, she definitely puts her all into the scenes that she's doing, and isn't afraid to take risks and/or embarrass herself for the sake of a good laugh.
