A Night of Acceptance

Showtime

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your host! The incredible Tulley Simmons!"

I wondered who it was and as I looked across the hall, it was Dylan, the same person who met me at the station to get there in time. I was intrigued but I waited until Tulley made his speech.

"Hello everyone. Welcome to Ready, Fire, Aim. We're back in a room after god knows how long, and now it's time to give you a night of fun, laughter and a bit of participation from everyone else. I will now hand you over to our maestro to introduce the cast."

· Then the show took place. The cast who were in I had seen before. One of them I did an improv scene the Wednesday before in an online class. It was more of an emotional blind date scenario

"Ladies and gentlemen please welcome the incredible, Stanley Geller."

That name rang a bell, as during a session the Wednesday before, I was partnered with him for a scene in prep for tonight. The game I played with him was emotional blind date, and let's just say that it nearly got X Rated. But it was a lot of fun, and I can't wait to see what he brought tonight. And I must say, Dylan made a really good job of announcing the performers. If he's not the next Peter Dickson after this then a petition needs to be signed.

Tulley then took to the stage.

"We are now going to perform a song for you," he stated.

And this tune was a famous one. It was Babylon, which I'll be honest, I have no clue how it links to improvisation, and the vocals weren't great, but I have a feeling they did it deliberately, just to make us laugh. It was definitely entertaining. And to this day I cannot get it out of my head.

The first game they played was a game called Take it back, which Stanley and Dave took part in. It was supposed to be a simple game, but after two audience members suggested "A ropy bar in Skegness' ', I had a feeling it would contain a lot of adult humour straight away. And I was right. I won't repeat some of the words or stuff they mentioned in it, but let's say that whilst it was funny to start with, I'm slightly aware that it would go slightly too far. But overall, the performers Stanley and Dave did an amazing job to get us into the mood for the night.

Soon enough they moved onto the next game, which was Party Quirks. In this game, one of the reformers had to guess each quirk, and the actors doing the quirks had a unique one each. So one of them was a historical figure, one had to do a reflex every time someone said a curse word, one had to slowly evolve into an inanimate object, and the final one was stalked by a fictional character (and this one that was picked like honey). I later found out the secret to this game, but I won't say, as I know it will kill the magic for those who wondered "how on earth did they do that?".

The game then started, and the first one was easy to guess, as Crystal (Who guessed who each of the quirks were), knew instantly who the historical figure was. When it came to the one with the curse word, that's when it got challenging. I noticed that Harry gave off hints for Crystal to use the curse word, but she didn't quite get the gist of it. It was only when the actor was getting stalked by the fictional character where Crystal started to notice it. And I won't lie, I wasn't expecting it, and neither did the audience. The word kept being used, but she still didn't get the word, even if Martine has asked him if the heffalumps were coming.

The final contestant Carlos then came on, and he used one-word phrases to see if she could get the quirk. This is how it went:

"Do you want to get him a drink?"

"Yeah, tell you what, why don't we get around it"?

He then rolled on his back and Crystal questions.
