Did another improv show this week. Long form with Hoopla. Mostly what is known as an Armando, in which a performer will riff on the audience suggestion telling a story from their life and then the rest do sketches based on the story.
I'm not mad keen on the Armando to be honest. It seems to result in a series of mostly disconnected sketches based on a theme rather than a story with a coherent narrative and satisfying beginning, middle, and end. Plus, without explaining the format I think it leaves the audience confused as to what's going on, and if you do explain it then, well, explicit audience explaining isn't entertaining in itself.
Did a life and times skit after that though, which I find more satisfying. The story of Jim, and his quest to remove the chocolate from Maltesers. Pretty chaotic with 14 performers all at once.
