Classic thom
Melbourne. October 30th. Impro Melbourne Halloween Classic. End of Act Two. The performers go off for a brief intermission before the final act of the night. The audience is notified that during this final act, an audience member will be needed to participate. If they dare. I sit in that audience. Alone. Daring. Dared. The performers reassemble. The stage creaks and groans beneath their feet. My feet steady. The fast twitch muscle fibers in my right arm ready themselves to be called upon at a moment’s notice. The moment comes. The word volunteer rings out and my arm explodes toward the night sky. I can touch the moon if I so choose. But not tonight. There is a job to do. I step on stage and disappear…

This is the first half hour or so, of my time on stage. I recorded with my camera, but I was enjoying the show and didn’t want to be focusing on the filming aspect. So I just pulled the audio off. For those who are interested, this should be watched before the video to immerse yourselves in the full magical experience.

Part Two
This is the climactic finale to the thom day saga. My character, thom, performs a beautiful solo, while the others dance around in wonder and amazement.

The after effects of the show. I chat with the group, and bask in the glow of a job well done. Day seized!

That was great. If they could do that with the bit they knew of you, just think what you could do. You certainly have enough material. Open mic night? Glad to see you are having some fun.
