Music Hall + improv - live videos from Roll Up!


A newly recorded clip from Roll Up, probably my favourite song in the show, the Music Hall Medley. Do hope you enjoy it.

Also freshly uploaded is another bit of improv, this time a sword-swallowing lion tamer. I've brought the video camera to three shows, two in week one, and one this past Sunday. Those will be the takes from which we'll edit up whichever versions we put online.

It's not been possible to do a 'straight-on' shot from the back of the room, simply because the only sound you'd get would be the air conditioner fans, which is all my technician can hear. It's a shame that this year's show has suffered from the heat in the venue, because otherwise the show's going great (despite what The Daily Mail might say, chiz chiz). The second half sags in audience response, partly because of the heat, and partly because it's more story based than sketch based. But people seem to be loving it, selling it out (13 sellouts so far, our most ever), and saying nice things afterwards.

More videos to come, probably once we've finished the run, so as not to spoil any good punchlines.
