CCC Press: Jurassic Park Roast Gets Reviewed by Pitch
Filed under: Announcements, Live Shows, Movie Roasting, Press
Apparently, Alan Scherstuhl of The Pitch, stopped by the Jurrasic Park roast and squeezed in a review of the show amongst his regular Kansas-City’s sole-reviewer-of-improv duties. We were glad to have him, and it sounds like he had a blast. Now, if we can only get him to one of our actual improv shows.
I’ve reproduced the buried-in-another-story blurb here. Hit the link at the bottom of this post for the full monty.
Before the Trip Fives’ solo set, I left Westport for the Screenland Theatre, at 17th Street and Washington, to catch CounterClockwise Comedy’s live roast of Jurassic Park. Before a packed house, the movie screened: Dinosaurs romped, and Sam Neill gaped upward in empty Spielbergian wonder. In row one, the CounterClockwise Comedy crew picked cruelly at the film’s bones. They unleashed a wild stream of jokes, from dumb puns to feminist film criticism to suggestions we take a drink every time Spielberg worked Laura Dern’s ass into the shot. Wayne Knight’s plus-sized floral shirt got called “a Holiday Inn comforter”; the interminable first tour of the dinosaur park was compared, at hilarious length, with the animal-less expanses of the Kansas City Zoo.
