Know Everything!

improvnonsense:

I get in trouble for saying that because I deliberately say it in a jerk manner. KNOW EVERYTHING. When someone says “I didn’t know the movie my partner was mentioning” I’ll sometimes say “Well, you don’t HAVE to know it but it would be easier if you knew it.”

And then people are like “Why do I have to like Star Wars?”

And I say “Who said anything about Star Wars?”

“All these improv nerd boys love Star Wars and can’t stop mentioning it. I hate that HAVE to know it.”

I know. It’s annoying.

I was once in a musical scene that I thought was a song from The Pirates of Penzance, so I pretended to be a pirate raising a sail on our pirate ship. After the show, I found out it was a song from Les Miserables, but everyone assumed I was raising a flag as part of the French Revolution.

I guess my point is: my object work is pretty mediocre.
