Hello again everyone!
We’ve worked out a 9:00pm time slot with the Amazingly Awesome Amanda (Triple-A for short) and the rest of her crew at d’Lish urban kitchen and wine bar.
So, the details…these are handy.
Tickets are 12$ per adult (Also, a drink special! Yay!)
The ticket price will be added to your bill as a “cover charge”.
(18+ please, as it is a licensed venue)
It is best to RESERVE YOUR TICKET IN ADVANCE by booking it through the d’Lish website with this link:
http://siptastegroovelove.ca/reserve-now/
This is the ONLY way we can guarantee you a seat.
Latecomers or walk-ups may get turned away and that would make us sad.
Now, where the heck is d’Lish?
You seriously don’t know?
The food and drinks are amazing!
Really? You’ve never been? FOR SHAME!!!
Here’s the address link: http://siptastegroovelove.ca/contact-us/
(They’ve got a map there and everything!)
Even though the show starts at 9:00pm it would be a WASTE of your evening not to stop by earlier for some pre-show nosh and libations. Amanda recommends a 7:00-7:30 reservation if you want to eat before the show starts. We suggest you do. (hint, wink, nudge.)
As always please bring your charged up, twitter enabled, smartphone of choice as you’ll be using it!

Thanks everyone, I can’t wait to see you again on the 23rd of September.

Here is another clip from Fringe for your online enjoyment.
We are working on planning for another YEGprov performance. More information coming soon.

“Punishment” is a game where the actors get a suggestion from the audience and try to do a serious scene. If they make the audience laugh they get hit with a pool noodle as their “punishment.”

When thinking about this twitter improv show, we wanted to create some new games that would make use of what twitter can do.
This is a game we invented called “Business Presentation.”
People can tweet in photos or images from their phones. The improvisors get a product suggestion from the audience (in this case toothbrushes). Then they have to pitch their product to the board or shareholders using random images as their PowerPoint. They have no idea what images might be coming up, but they have to make them work to sell their product or idea.
Here are Randy and Devin pitching toothbrushes.

As of this morning we have managed, to our utter amazement and delight, to be trending #YEGprov THIRD in Edmonton. The only items above us currently are #yeg and #yegfringe.
Thanks to ALL of our amazing crowds so far this festival. You guys have truly embraced our little social media-improv experiment with open phones and fast fingers. For this I thank you wholeheartedly.
Just to show I’m not full of hooey, here’s a screen capture from just a few minutes ago. (click to enlarge)
