UCB- John and Scott

Last night I went to see John and Scott at UCB. These are two actors/writers for 30 Rock but also UCB veterans. In the long line waiting to see the show, there was more than one aspiring comedian come to see their nerdy comedy role models. Outside of their 30 Rock characters, these two comedians were a lot darker & dirtier, which was great fun. I was amazed at their confidence- how they really milked every improv skit to the max, building on the tension without caving in to the audience demand for a laugh. The skits included (in no particular order):

• aliens
• goats
• pearl earrings
• Psycho
• diet sprite
• the Grand Canyon
• shaving
• slapping, hitting, punching
• "Mayhaps"
• babies
• mules (Bert)
