Ministry of Silly Walks

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqhlQfXUk7w

Why is this great?
John Cleese commits completely to the concept behind the sketch: it's a government program to be taken with the utmost seriousness. He never cracks a smile or lets on that he thinks the concept is even a little "off". The reality of the scene is preserved.

Too bad they left out the Anglo-French silly walk.

Dimmsdale.

AP Comedy

Well, looks like you'd like an AP version of comedy team. It's on! One member stepped up to looking into shirts, and many of you said you'd be willing to pay money for them, so that's probably happening. Another member is making fliers for club rush. Make sure you get some of those to pass out, and make sure you wear something Wacky on Wednesday. Meanwhile, I'll see you Tuesday at lunch and after school from 3:15 to 4:30.

Welcome to the Club

ComedySportz is no more. West High has a club full of comedy folks, now, what to do with it? What do you want the club to be? What do you want to do? How do you want to make the people laugh?

We've got a few lunchtime shows, and a few evening shows. We need to build the membership, and build the audience. And we need to build skills. We can do it.

We're looking for a few good humans to help manage things. Should that interest you, come see Mr. W in room 4108 ASAP.
