It's Everywhere!

Ok, so I have become hopelessly addicted to Drew Carey’s new show Improvaganza. I was watching it, just tonight actually, and they were doing a sketch where two of them start a scene and at anytime a third person says “freeze” then shouts out to the audience for a specific type of literature, film, time period, etc. and the two actors have to continue the scene in that style. So, Ryan Styles and Chip Esten start this scene where they are supposed to be two hired cooks, when Drew Carey calls, “Freeze!” and shouts out to the audience for a type of literature. Someone in the drunken Vegas audience requests Shakespeare. Ryan and Chip proceed, being the amazing comedians they are, in a shockingly good, fluid, middle English, iambic-pentameter. The first words spoken are from Chip saying, “Do you swing your spoon at me, maam?” and Ryan, immediately picking it up follows, “I do swing my spoon, maam.” This tiff follows to the word then skips to Chip drinking some laundry detergent only to be followed by the grief-stricken Mr. Styles stabbing ‘her’self with a knife and ending the sketch.

I would’ve liked to include a video of this portion of the show, but I couldn’t find one. I assure you though, it was a fantastic representation of Romeo and Juliet and probably a bajillion times funnier than I could aver explain it to be.
