This year on November 7th two well known female comedians nn were showcased. The first, Kristin Key, is famous for starring on NBC’s ee Last Comic Standing, and has acquired the title “The Preacher’s Kid Gone vv Wild.” The second comedian, Jen Kober is the creator of the internet EE show, soon to be TV show, “Big Dish.” The act started with Key’s crass sense of humor, bashing everything from religion to alcoholism. A large portion of her act was focused on a story of a hermaphrodite and the hilarity of her ignorance on the subject. She also gave a musical performance and while strumming her guitar she sang stories of ST. Patrick’s Day and bowel movements. Kober, who was the second act, used the audience as the material for her jokes. She let the crowd know exactly how she felt about skinny women and annoying people. Her jokes focused on the craving of food and the results of eating a lot. At the end both Kober and Key preformed a sing along with Key playing guitar and Jen improvising the lyrics. SUB also hosted a male comedian. On October 24, Lee Camp entertained students with his humor in the St. Pat’s Ballroom. He had a very different style from the women entertainers, but was just as funny. To those that attended the show ended all too soon, but offered a nice alternative to studying for classes. “The Preacher’s Kid Gone Wild” got lots of laughs from students at Rolla. Kristen Key and Jen Kober start a sing-along. Jen Krober made jokes about large people Lee Camp brought a different perspec- vs. skinny people. tive to the SUB Fall Comedy series 44 Perfect 10 Improv lives up to their name. Rowdy, ridiculous, bizarre, dry, cheap, sophisticated, tasteless. These are just some of the terms you could associate with the unique brand of entertainment produced by the Missouri University of Science & Technology’s Perfect 10 Improvisation Club, or just Perfect 10 for short. ss The games are various, the humor is random, the performers are quirky, the tt yuks are plentiful, and the audiences are always left in stitches. nn Perfect 10 is a student group on campus, with affiliation to the Theater Department, that specializes in the building and performance of ee the improvisational skills of its members. Anyone is welcome to join in on vv practices, regardless of skill or experience in performing. While providing a EE healthy means of relieving the stress and pressures of courses by having some wholesome, good old-fashioned fun, members also strengthen their abilities to adapt to the unexpected, think on their toes, find ways to make light of any situation (therefore causing it to be less intimidating), and even accepting situations that don’t turn out how they plan – all qualities that, although overlooked by most, can prove rather useful in many real life situa- Mitch Niehoff and Jacob Sherry entertain tions such as interviews. audiences during a SUB event. When performing the members of Perfect 10 have an extensive list of games, including Famous Proverb, Good Cop/Bad Cop, The Dating Game, Party Quirks, Contraband, Freeze, 1-to-4 and 4-to-1, Press Confer- ence, Slideshow, and 1950s Instructional Video. Each game has a specific but intentionally general guidelines so as to leave the performers with plenty of room to develop and interpret as they choose. Perfect 10 also incorporates audience participation by requesting suggestions for the games that require set-ups or assignments, such as 1950s Instructional Video, which requires a task (preferably outlandish) for the narrator to teach the students about, and in games such as Freeze (which starts with two performers portraying a scene until someone shouts “Freeze!” replaces one of them, and starts a new scene – a popular show closer), the audience is often allowed to be a part of the performance as well.
