Don't know if y'all dig on the review thang, but here goes...



:If I Had a Dollar Fifty by Howard Zimmerle

This probably could have done without the opening narrative, or 
perhaps a condensed version of it.  There were funny jokes, but 
they were a long time coming.  When he got to the song it was very 
good and funny and clever.  Great use of dramatic pauses.  I 
chuckle hardily.

:Poem by Elisia Hansel

This was the estrogen power that we lack at our Iowa City Shame 
(save Aprille Clarke, who rocks in every way possible).  And 
besides being penis-heavy, IC Shame has shifted a lot towards 
pandering-to-the-audience comic bizarreness, which is brilliant 
and fun in its own right, but I miss stuff like this that used to 
be more regular for us a few years back.  Great poem, right from 
the heart.

:Untitled by Mark Watkins

Another great example of why Cedar Falls Shame is better than IC 
Shame in some ways.  Fresh blood every week.  I talked to this guy 
before the show, and he was very nervous, as he had not performed 
before.  But he went onstage and opened his heart to about forty 
or fifty strangers and it was beautiful.  I encourage this guy to 
come back and perform often.

:An Explanation of Light and Beauty by Deuce Rizksham

This should read "by Deuce Rickshaw".  Great breakthrough 
performance by Deuce.  A little weak in the continuity and sense 
areas, but nonetheless, mighty strong work.

:Stand Up Comedy by Elisia Hansel

I didn't even get that it was called stand up and she was sitting 
in the chair.  Ha ha, says me.  Good stories, though they might 
have worked better in the first or third person, rather than the 
second.  Maybe assume a quirky character identity to tell the 
stories from, even if they are true.  Maybe I'm only saying that 
because it's what I'm used to seeing week in and week out.

Also, the delivery (not that it was weak in the first place) got 
better when she ran out of script!  That says something for 
improvisation, I think.  I think it says Elisia is good at it, and 
very comfortable with her audience.  

:It All Depends on Your Political Veiws by Howard Zimmerle

Damned if I can't remember this one very well.  I do remember 
laughing a lot, but was probably a tiddle on the nervous side, as 
my poem/monologue thing was to be next.  And if you're going to 
have Rick in your piece, by God have him do that wicked ass thing 
with his neck that happens when he plays sax.

:Richard Langartner's Obsession by Neil Van Gorder

What a nice sight to open my eyes to after dangling off that chair 
for ten minutes...Neil in nothing but a tutu.  All in all, it was 
a fun piece, though it could have used some serious editing.  The 
five minute rule (I'm not even sure if you have implemented it in 
CF) seems to serve not only to keep the show from running late in 
the evening, but to keep the show going along at a good pace, and 
this one slowed the show way down.  Had a great payoff at the end 
though.  Wish I could have been in the audience for this one, I'm 
sure Neil is a hell of a dancer.

:The Excalibur by Luke Pingel

Very strong writing here.  Luke drifted in and out of the 
accent/voice affectation he created, but that didn't hurt the 
piece by any means.  I appreciated him taking nonsense to the 
extreme- when the wife suddenly turns into a monster, as if that 
wasn't horrifyingly strange, but rather just inconvenient and rude 
of her.  I laugh a lot at this one.  Good character monologue.
