Improv! Pirates of the Dotombori vs Pirates of Tokyo Bay!

On April 15th, The Pirates of the Dotombori hosted their sister group The Pirates of Tokyo Bay in Osaka to put on a group performance to determine which of the two improv groups would reign supreme.

It was a great show, featuring wonderful performances of the very talented people in each of the groups.

 White cards for Osaka.

 Red cards for Tokyo.

 

Alas, the score ended up tied so we shall have to wait until the next time to determine the winner.

Raugh out Roud

Raugh out Roud (ROR) featured great stand-up comedy by Osaka based comedians:

Bill Reilly, Jade Lake, Rob 'Bucky' Buckman, Dan Dorman,

Kwame Alexander, Zach Strickland, and Edd Daggers.

It was quite impressive as for most of the comics, who as members of the Pirates of the Dotombori specialize in improv, it was their first time doing stand-up; and they all did great!
