Jacob Morris looked at the audience and smirked.

“185 Chickens work at Chick-Fil-A, so it’s a little awkward,” he announced as his final joke of the improv match against Basha on September 9.

Morris, a senior and co-captain of the Perry-Winkles improv team, helped to beat the Sudden Impact Comedy (S.I.C.) team from BHS, 35-31.

Similar to the popular T.V. show “Who’s Line Is It Anyway?”, all the content of a high school improv show is completely made up on the spot and totally original.

With suggestions from the audience like toothpicks, chickens, and Abercrombie,both teams had to come up with a way to incorporate all of these suggestions into their skit.

“Through rehearsal you kind of get a little stock of jokes,” Senior Alli Messersmith states on the game 185, where players have to come up with puns on the spot. “Some suggestions get suggested more than others. I immediately think of all related words and try to force them into other words and then I kind of just say it with confidence and hopefully people laugh.”

All of the eight players on stage, S.I.C. included, project the confidence of experienced professionals.

“Since tonight was our first game, we did our most experienced [players],” Junior Noelle Soucek states on the performers.

The four performers on stage were Morris, Messersmith, Soucek, and Junior Julia Gilmer.

“They have fabulous energy and desire to just make people happy,” Perry-Winkles advisor Shawna Marquis states on her students’ performances. “It’s a great team, they work together, they work really hard, and they just want to put on great shows for their audience.”

The next Improv show will be on November 7, though the opponent has not been chosen.
