Where Da Party At


A few years ago, when I was going through classes at iO, I wanted to be on a team so badly. To the extent that I even started dressing more nicely and wearing makeup more often because I was RAISING MY GAME UP. Of course, that stuff doesn't necessarily work - funny people make teams regardless of how they look, but I think slobs have a lot more work earning the audience's respect. (Speaking of respect, how about that picture, amiright?!?)

Today, here I am on the iO website as the official show poster for a new show called Where Da Party At? Just seeing this picture on the iO website makes me happy. Mostly because this picture makes me happy. I am my own spirit animal. 

The show opens in a few weeks. It's got a simple premise: each week, a different member of the team will bring a party photo to the show and the audience gets to decide who tells a monologue based off the photo. It could be a picture from a birthday, a Christening, or a fake-bachelorette party like the one above. I like the show concept because it's simple. A photo, a monologue, and some improv. No crazy gimmicks or costumes. We're just here for the party.
