I really didn’t want to write about the First Saturday Funnies, hosted by The Endangered Species Theatre Project each month at the FAC Art Center.

Don’t get me wrong. As a self-respecting theater kid, I absolutely love that kind of short-form improv comedy — the kind that developed from the little games actors play to warm up their emotional reflexes before performances. The relentless pace of the famous “yes, and” logic that drives improv’s chain reactions sends me into fits of side-splitting laughter every time I’m lucky enough to catch those kinds of shows.
