Mac Impro Drive 2005... exciting isn't it?

Welcome to Mac Impro's "Player and Audience Drive, 2005" - bringing you more players and more audience members since 2005!

This information is a bit like me - interesting, yet scattered. For more accuracy and detail please contact Robert McDougall - welkinstar@hotmail.com

Day & time of weekly jam is currently being subjected to democracy. Have your say at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/macimpro/

Weekly lunchtime show is 1pm on Wednesdays in the SAM Bar. All players and audience members are welcome, and yet they seem to refrain from coming... But please do. In fact, contact Patrick Magee right now on 0423 963 594 and tell him you want to be there. Player call time is 12:30pm.

Monthly evening show is on Monday nights. More details TBA or contact Patrick on the above number.


In the meantime, get your super-cheap student tickets to Theatresports Mixed Doubles, Sunday nights at Belvoir St Theatre, by showing your student card at the box office. $15, 8:30pm. See http://mixeddoubles.improaustralia.com.au for more details. Starring Mac Impro's Keira Daley, Pete Lead, Susie Youssef and many big names. All your Wimbeldons have come at once!

drumroll please...

Thanks.

Love Pete (No really, love me! I'm such an approval junkie...)


Okay sweet. So hi! and welcome to 2005. I hope the mirrorball was good to you all...

So, what's happening with Mac Impro this year? i hear you asking en masse (in emails to the new President 'Tricky' Magee - nice_punjabi_girl@hotmail.com). Well, frightfully exciting things, no doubt. Like... erm, well, the return to SAM Bar lunchtime shows. That's pretty cool, right? An audience, and such. Also, no excuses for people not showing up on time, because they know where they need to be and stuff - it's called a timetable, and at Mac Uni you can make your own, so once we know what day it's gonna be on (nice_punjabi_girl@hotmail.com) we can all arrange our lives so that we have an hour each side completely free of non-waggable classes. Sweet, huh?

Ok, so you have all probably (except the slow ones) by now figured out (yes you) that I don't actually have any big (yes, i said slow. You. Get it?) news to tell you. But (stop it, i'll talk to you later) I do want everyone to get back into (...) the habit (seriously dude) of improvising, just like i've been doing two days a week for the past 10 weeks. No really (no, really), i have been. Why? (Why dude? Just leave it alone!) Because i'm in a funky new sequel to the award envying show [insert comedy]. It's coming soon to the Fig Tree Theatre at UNSW, then picking itself up and taking us all down to Melbourne with it for the Comedy Festival. This thing has legs baby...

Anyway, enough blah from me. I'll be sure to talk to y'all again (i swear i will hit you so hard...) soon.

Ciao babies. (Who says that? Not I, I can assure you. Here: "I assure you that I don't say that." See?)

(Right, c'mere!)
