    [Chris Okiishi, James Erwin, and Dan Brooks (under Mandi's guidance as game show host) vie for the title of No Shame Goddess of the Evening, facing the haiku, trivia, and interpretive dance challenges. Of the three, James Erwin had no warning at all to the best of my knowledge, Chris knew "something was up" about five minutes ahead of time, and I would estimate similarly for Dan.]

    [Bob plays a guy who's on a date; we can't see his ladyfriend, but we learn she's a bit of an airhead (ouch). Not sure who played his roommate.]

    [Two guys (one of whom was probably the author, but who knows) do a sketch about the devil describing the benefits of hell over heaven, including a 401K retirement package, profit-sharing, etc.]
  7. Greg Mitchell - Off Into the Night (Greg Mitchell)
    [LIGHTS UP on Greg standing centerstage with his right foot resting on the seat of a chair, looking manly. Absolutely deadpan delivery.]
    "It's been a long time since I've sodomized a Ukrainian musk ox."
    [pause for the laughter to die down.]
    "....and I'm not going to wait even one more minute."
    [Greg walks up the center aisle and out of the theatre. BLACKOUT.]
  8. Will Bundy - Mother

  13. Chris Okiishi - Lines (Chris Okiishi)
    [Chris talks about waiting in the line to get out of the finkbine parking lot, about parents and sex and snacks, the vastly separate at-home and at-work lives of his father, and where it has all led.]
  14. Mike Rothschild - A Visit to the Doctor
    [Three people waiting to see a doctor, piece quickly degenerates into naming embarassing conditions, someone interrupts the piece and the perpetrators are removed, scene recommences, someone else uses inappropriate language, etc. until remaining performers apologize for the entirety of the piece.]
  15. Mark Hansen - Normal People International
    [Establishing a fund for people who are well-fed, housed, clothed, and generally not in need of anything, because they're the only people who DON'T have a charity yet.]

[James Erwin, Jamal River, Mandi Lee, someone else?, and Chris Stangl alternate between dance and a group narration (parts divided between them all) of a pick-up attempt that fails. The pickup-ee leaves, and the men pair off. I am drawing a blank on who played the fourth person in the lineup, but it was a woman who seemed to be playing one of the men in the scenario.]
6) Dan Brooks - Dead Week or The Rum Diary (Dan Brooks)
[Dan plays a blind man who has recorded all of his stories in his "rum diary"]
7) Chris Stangl - I've Had 47 Squirming Baby Rabbits Pulled Out Of My Anus (Chris Stangl, Jamal River)

11) Jake Johnson - Gary's Rage
[Jake plays a psycho who is sure that the world's evils aren't about war or deer overpopulaion, or anything else---it's the evil rabbits. Someone named Bill (last name, anyone?), playing the first fellow's brother) comes out of the audience and delivers a heart-warming talk to Jake about how rabbits are really sweet and cute and loveable, and his anger is misdirected because he clearly just hates himself.]
12) Aprille Clarke - Dream Boat - a Choose Your Own Adventure Style Romance for People Who Don't Take Such Things Seriously (Aprille Clarke, Lori Keefer, Kyle Lange)
[Aprille narrates a choose-your-own-adventure romance, with female characters played by Lori Keefer and male characters played by Kyle Lange.]
13) Alan Angel - The Best Dramatic Performance I Have Ever Given or How to Give an Oscar Winning Performance While in the Can (Jake Johnson)
[Jake Johnson delivers a monologue about realizing he is in the women's restroom by accident.]

Plugs in items like leather gloves, a Ford Bronco, and a juror bribe, as well as and a few other attention-getting combos.]
15) Duane Larson - Jesus Walking On Water Followed Closely By Cops
[A gender-appropriate cast (names unknown to me) play a man and his old mother sitting on a porch in the country. He's reading to her when she sees Jesus walking on the water. Eventually law enforcement catch up with him (as narrated by the porch-sitters) because it's not a public body of water he's walking on.]
16) Allison Hefley and Bob Alanis - Movements
[A classic "setup" piece. A whole lotta props, including a tablecloth, books, knick-knacks and paddy-wacks and whatnots, topped off with a vibrating Mister Potato-Head. Scene begins, one person invites the other out for ice cream, lights out.]
17) Mike Reid - What To Do (Dan Brooks)
[Dan Brooks delivers a monologue about having had no life in high school, and now being in college where one of the only apparent differences is that now there's sex too. And a briefly misplaced green hat.]
