Thanks to the temporary nature of improvised comedy, audiences will never see the same show twice. Each performer utilises their strengths no matter their level as a performer. It is also inspiring to see the mixture of experienced and inexperienced performers working together. Jenny’s story of pregnancy difficulties is re-imagined as a bet on whether the 40 Hour Famine is harder than giving birth. Luke’s hippie ex story turns into a scene about a parent meeting her daughter’s friendly nudist boyfriend. Jenny’s babysitting story became an infomercial for the ‘Hell’s Angels Guide To Child Rearing’, with advice on entertaining little ones and getting them to sleep, such as suckling on fingers which may have cocaine residue. What was amazing was some of the directions these scenes would take, while matching the hilarity of the stories. Rather than re-enacting the stories just told, the performers from Big Fork Theatre took inspiration from certain details within the stories, and built multiple scenes from there. Jenny’s stories delved into the trials of motherhood, from a particularly difficult birth, to her unawareness that the pretty women babysitting her children may also be ‘Pretty Women’ in the Julia Roberts sense. Luke delivers odd stories about his own strange mannerisms, and a particularly ticklish story about a hippie ex-girlfriend who believed recycling was “fucking bullshit” thanks to her garbologist father.
The stories these two performers deliver are funny on their own. For tonight’s show, guest storytellers are improv performer Luke Rimmelzwaan, and comedy star Jenny Wynter. The show is divided in two halves, with a different story teller and team of improvisers performing in each. It is from this story that a team of improvisers take inspiration to create hilarious scenes, taking directions both obvious and unexpected. The show begins with a guest who tells a story from their life, inspired by a word suggested by the audience. The format of ‘Cool Story, Bro’ is inspired by American style improv, specifically The Armando. Big Fork Theatre produced the monthly improvised comedy and storytelling show ‘Cool Story, Bro’. Improvised comedy, however, is a team experience, where players work together to build a story from the audience. This might be due to the solitary, ego-building nature of traditional comedy, where every comedian is fighting for public adoration for their humour.
