April 4th PREVIEW: The Boss Steps Into The Arena…

 

Ladies and Gentlemen…THE BOSS.  Thursday, April 4th marks an incredible night in The Inspirado History books, it marks the night that THE BOSS will make their debut on The Inspirado Stage.  In the almost 2 years that Inspirado has around, we have never been able to procure the legendary improv team, this week, the Inspirado audience is in for a treat.  Known for their character work, patience and well weaved connections, The Boss has been playing at The Magnet for over 6 years.  This week, they face THE WRATH.

In their 6th year of improvising together, can The Boss take down The Wrath, who is in their 6th week on The Inspirado Stage?  You decide.  Thursday, April 4th at 11pm.  INSPIRADOOOOOOOOO!!!!

March 14th RECAP: THE WRATH!!!!!

The Wrath took the night!  It was everything you’d ever want from an Inspirado showdown and even more!  Trashtalk was trashy, improv was funny and voting was so so close.  But, at the end of the night there always has to be a winner.

The Homewreckers put up a great fight, but in the end it just wasn’t enough to defeat the almighty Wrath!  The Homewreckers were up first and chose physical and received Structure- they had to use the window on The Magnet stage as anything but a window.  The Wrath chose Dumb, and received Ugly- they had to perform a set with paper bags over their heads.  Wonderful.

Next week!  Human Pyramid, an all lady team, takes on The Wrath!  Who will win?  You decide!  INSPIRADDDOOOOO!!

March 14th PREVIEW: HOMEWRECKERS ARE READY TO TAKE DOWN THE WRATH!

The Homewreckers are coming to the Inspirado stage and they aren’t messing around.  This former Circuit team has made it to the big leagues and plans to stay here.  They face the reigning Inspirado Champions, The Wrath!  Can they beat them or will The Wrath conquer yet another team?  You decide!  This thursday at 11pm! Inspiradooooooo!

Feb. 21st RECAP: MEGALOU & LISTEN, WEIRS PERFORM INCREDIBLE SHOW! LISTEN, WEIRS TAKES THE NIGHT!

Last night the Inspirado stage produced some of the most exciting and entertaining Improv this reviewer has ever seen.  Two incredibly gifted groups, coming head to head in front of a pumped Inspirado crowd.  The trash talk was fierce, Satan made an appearance and produced an American flag which he claimed Megalou wiped their butts with.  Megan Gray (Megalou team captain) came clean and admitted that they did soil the flag, but was more surprised that Satan had been chillin in their apartment.  Scary!  Here we go!

In an unprecedented Inspirado move, Inspirado champions Megalou decided to go first!  They chose Nerdy and received Halo.  They had to perform a monoscene in which 2 people are playing Halo and communicating only through xbox headsets.  What came next was patient enthralling improv.  It was a text book monoscene.  T-bone and M-dawg were in love.  The previous night they had a serious conversation while really high.  ”We shouldn’t talk about big things when we’re high.  We should talk about little things in a big way,” said T-Bone.  In the end, they were forced to make a decision about their relationship sooner than they would have liked, M-dawg was pregnant.  ”I’m going to the waiting corner” said T-bone, referring to the game.  Beautiful.

Listen, Weirs! took the stage next and selected Artsy and received Cirque, they had to perform a Cirque De Soleil show.  What followed was incredible.  Lights, Music, jumping, sooooo much jumping.  Crawling, tumbles, Satan…these were potentially $75 tickets.  There was a story about a girl who wanted to go to a ball, she couldn’t, so her sister helped her break into the ball.  It was explosive, energetic and dance-y.  Words can not describe the beauty of Cirque, but hopefully THIS video will help.

Just like that.

In the end it was LISTEN, WEIRS!  In the highest scoring Inspirado ever!  What an incredible night…both teams were Inspirado!  Truly great improv.  Listen, Weirs return next week to face THE WRATH!  Will they defeat the supple, flexible bodies of Listen, Weirs!?  Or will they succumb to the beauty?  You decide.  11pm.  INSPIRADOOO!

 

FEB. 14TH PREVIEW: MEGALOU BRINGS VALENTINE’S DAY LOVE TO PRE-OH SHIT SHOW!!!!

This Valentine’s Day, snuggle up with NY’s favorite couple and watch them, “take down” the Inspirado champions Weekend Of Regret!  This Thursday night at 11pm, Megan Gray and Louis Kornfeld, Magnet royalty, will spend their day of love battling Weekend of Regret.  They plan to use their commitment, 14 year relationship and dark chocolate to win over the audience.  Can they do it?

Weekend of Regret is ONE SHOW away from OH SHIT!  Can they get past Megalou to face the 4th OH SHIT! Challenge of ALL TIME?  You decide.  Valentine’s Day.  11pm.  INSPIRADDOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

 

Feb. 7th RECAP: WEEKEND OF REGRET APPROACHES OH SHIT!!!!!!!!

WHOOOA!  It’s almost here!  Weekend of Regret took the Inspirado stage last night for their 7th week and faced off against Chet Watkins!  The trash talk was fierce.  A sweat pance-wearing Chris Camp brought a fervor to the trash talk that has been lacking for a long time.  Nick Jaramillo, of Weekend of Regret, shot back with, “I remember when my Mom first let me wear sweat pants outside of the house…it was freeing”.  Brilliant.  HERE WE GO!

Chet Watkins took the stage first and chose the Individual Challenge and received BARGAIN BIN.  Their set had to be a monoscene  that takes place in a DVD Bargain Bin.  We were given Blade, Mission Impossible and Jaws!  All of the DVDs wanted to be picked up, in the end, they all were purchased by two very lonely friends.  Beautiful.

Weekend Of Regret took the stage next and chose the Indianapolis Challenge.  They received LENEPY!  To honor the Lenepy Indians, the first to discover the land that is now Indianapolis, each line of dialogue had to have 3 seconds of silence in between it.  Each scene was grounded and patient.  We were given scenes about stalkers, towns taken over  by dogs and peyote smoking Indians.  It was a wonderful show, one that the Lenepy Indians would be proud of.

WEEKEND OF REGRET!  They will return next week (valentine’s Day) to face off against the power couple, MEGALOU!  Who will win? Valentine’s Day Inspiradooooooo! Who is more in love?  You Decide!  11pm!  BOOM!

Jan. 31st PREVIEW: AQUARIUS Is Ready To Sing Weekend Of Regret A Goodbye Song!
