Can you believe it!? They started Friday night having not even met, and by Sunday they put on an awesome full-length sketch show! But, like a solar eclipse, the big bang, or a rabid bear having high tea with a twelve foot tall anthropomorphic rubik’s cube, this is an event that can only be seen once in a long while! If you were lucky enough to have been in the audience that night, consider yourself the recipient of one of the universe’s greatest gifts! The sketches illuminated some of the human experience’s most poignant moments: the harrowing reality of frontline oral care with a Combat Dentist, that Divorce Talk moment when your parents inform you they’ve decided to spice up their marriage by brutally slaying the neighbors, and the final rounds of everyone’s favorite gameshow Carrot or Stick.
These guys slept, ate, and drank nothing but sketch comedy and pizza for 48 hours and it paid off like gangbusters! (Yes, they drank pizza) They began a ramshackle collection of sketch comedians and sketch comedy enthusiasts and left Mashuppers. Some might call it an intense process. And they’d be right! It’s downright intense! When someone asks one of the Mashuppers if they’re into sketch comedy, they will say “Yes… intensely so…”, make deep and meaningful eye contact, lean in, deliver a passionate kiss, and whisper “…intensely so…”
Big thanks to our Mash-Up organizer, Ryan Schmidt, the amazing folks at Wing-It productions for hosting the performance and of course all the participating artists who made the show incredible! Now go sleep it off…
