Let The Games Begin!

Yellow Tom — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 14:13:37 +0000

We spend a lot of time together. In fact we spend so much time together that it is a wonder that we don’t all hate each other. It is in part due to our dedication to the group. It is in part due to a friendship that goes back before we had to live in each other’s pockets. But we suspect that the main reason that we don’t spend our lives tearing each other apart is because we all seem to agree that there is always a game to be played. All of our frustrations are taken out in the fury of a table tennis match, a game of giant chess (see above) or an hour spent trying to bounce a tennis ball off two walls and into a mug.

We’ll play any sport that becomes available to us. In the past on the road we have played pool, table tennis, basketball (“I’m better at Netball” Matt – We assume he went to an all-girls school), football, touch rugby, snooker, high diving (“Never again, you bastards” Charlie – He got his hair wet), darts and golf (“I’m built for war not pissy sticks and balls” Big Tom – He’s really bad at golf… He’s also definitely not built for war. He’s built for cake). But if the mood strikes and no sporting equipment is to hand we are more than happy to launch into some makeshift athletics… Broom-Javelin, Round-The-Green-Room Chair-Hurdles and Compact Discus (“Use my One Direction album, I really regret buying it.” Little Tom – He’d already put it on his iPod. He loves it) have all been huge successes. We love games… Once we played hide and seek for nearly an hour. (“I can’t believe you didn’t find me” Sam – Sam played for nearly two hours.)

It’s not all manly displays of sporting prowess (It’s never that, if we’re honest), we also get the brain engaged. Cryptic crosswords, the incredible quiz app Sporcle (Do check it out Trivia fans) and various card games keep us sharp. However the thing that takes up most of our time is preposterous hypothetical questions. If bored consider these…

-“If we knew the earth was going to be destroyed by a giant meteor 100 years from now how would you go about trying to evacuate mankind?”

-“Explain, in detail, your superhero alter ego – Name, Powers, Costume, Origin Story, Nemesis, Allies, Transport and Greatest Act.” (Also works well with supervillain)

-“Could the five of us beat a bear in a fight?” (We think yes if we follow our tactical battle plan, in which Matt will sadly, almost certainly die.)

We hope these dscussions fill some time on a long journey for somebody… Also included here, for your amusement, is Sam and Charlie planking a Mercedes. I mean, why not? May the games continue!

Those guys look heavy... They might even weigh a plank tonne. (Why?)

Zombies and Odysseys

Yellow Tom — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 13:15:57 +0000

Returning from the Edinburgh Fringe is a weird experience. It takes time to settle back in to the normal pace of normal life… Or so we imagine. Normal life, it seems, is going to have to wait a while for us as in the first few weeks back in this so called ‘reality’ we’ve already spent an evening as dead people surrounded by models and an afternoon adventuring in the wilds of Sussex… Lets explain.

Most of the gigs we do involve us turning up at some venue or another in the trademark ties and doing some improv comedy… It’s certainly what we are used to. But every now and then we get a request that is a bit out of the norm. A wealthy businessman’s son was turning 21 in an undisclosed location in north London and they, totally understandably, decided on a horror theme for the evening. The whole house was decked out in spectacular horror garb and every course of the meal (themed accordingly; eyeball soup, bloody cocktails, spider cake etc.) was served by a bevy of beautiful young things dressed as a sexy modern version of the Adams family. There was magic and a sword juggler and then there were there was us… Not performing improv comedy. No, no. Three of us were employed to “wander about the place dressed as zombies and just look after everyone.” Mental.

Matt and the Toms spent literally hours in make-up with the hilarious French make-up artistes applying freaky contact lenses (we all whinged like girls), putting on full latex head-masks (we all felt like we were in a Mission Impossible film), and getting into our surprisingly budget costumes (we all whinged like girls again… You can afford latex head masks but not a decent zombie robe?). The majority of the evening was spent wandering the car park freaking out guests as they arrived and rocking some pretty excellent (atrocious) gags. “You’re not late… You’re DEAD on time!”… and so on. In other highlights Big Tom had to wrangle a Britain’s Got Talent Michael Jackson impersonator off a stage mid Thriller dance and Little Tom and Matt very nearly dropped the cake in the middle of the dance floor. An odd night but a good one… Even if the atmosphere was a bit DEAD! Boom!

In another unrelated and an altogether far less paid event, Sam and Big Tom were asked to go on an adventure by the good folk of Twitter. Messrs Red and Yellow ended up catching a train to the tiny village of Balcombe and aimed to complete various tasks as suggested by various tweeters… There was laughter, there was salami and there were Christmas trees… The results of this, the first Improv Adventure, will be appearing on this very website in the coming weeks in the form of a video… So stay tuned for that.

Keep it loose people.
