The Stepfathers


I went to UCB to see The Stepfathers perform improv tonight. They were on. It was great. Clever, creative, and funny. By far the guy with the best lines and punchlines was Zach Woods. All of the performers were great, but he stood out tonight.

For $10 it's cheaper than a movie. And, yeah, it's not 2.5 hours (more like 1), but worth it. I can't quite find the right words to contrast something live with all of the pre-packaged stuff we get day in and out on TV, movies and the internet. It's great to have a moment with a group of people that can't be repeated. It happens once only. There's a dynamic in the room - especially when the performers are in the zone - that's palpable, but hard to describe.
