A small DCM11 Recap

s always, the Del Close Marathon became a sweaty, overstimulating blur even before it ended.  So much improv, so little time.  I can only describe it through my own narrow lens, but by most accounts, it met most Bostonians’ expectations, being alternately inspiring and frustrating (but always fun).  I didn’t see many of the “surefire” acts that I’d hoped to draw inspiration from, but Code Duello had a successful outing Friday night, and that buoyed me for the weekend.  I’ve been taking a break from improv to work on the pilot, and it was great to shake off some rust.

Code Duello’s outing at DCM11 seemed to be well-received.  Positive mentions of our show bubbled up in reputable places, and I’m too proud not to catalog them…

Recommendation in Time Out New York (“wildly popular”)
Multiple recommendations in The Apiary
A post-marathon shout-out in the Wall Street Journal (the WSJ?!)
The Onion A.V. Club/Decider (“this pair of Bostonians tends to dazzle”)
... and so many kind kudos at ImprovResourceCenter, the NY improv forum

You know you’re on the right path when improv-savvy audience members quote your show.  It’s also humbling to be mentioned alongside some of my own improv idols and rising stars (let alone noticed or congratulated by them).

When Sarah and I move to LA, I’m totes enrolling in UCBLA’s training program, bee-tee-dubs.  I have too many improv-boners for UCBers.

Many thanks, Lauren, for this snap of our show!
