Being funny: serious business (sometimes)

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.

Portrait Session 2

The second installment of the 'Portrait Session' series.

Kwame, of the 'Pirates of the Dotombori' Kansai's best improv group, needed some portraits and I needed to take some portraits.

This guerrilla style shoot took place at the ATC in Osaka.

Running for Prime Minister perhaps.
