SCRAM!
Joe Bill of Bassprov (Chicago) and Jill Bernard of Resist Butch (Minneapolis) cheat on their respective improv duos to bring you "SCRAM," which blends elements of Joe's signature form, "The Scramble," with Jill's solo show "Drum Machine."
When Joe was visiting Minneapolis in 2005, he and Jill did a scene that shall forever be known as 'The Bacon Scene.' It was so good that they knew they had to form an improv duo, even though they live 400 miles apart. They have since performed SCRAM at the Kansas City Improv Festival, the Lowell Improv Festival, the Midnight Show in Chicago, the Chicago Improv Festival, and are scheduled to appear at the Twin Cities Improv Festival.
A review of the Chicago Improv Festival performance:
"Composed of Chicago improv veteran Joe Bill and Minneapolis powerhouse Jill Bernard, SCRAM put on a stunning and emotional set. The duo began by setting up two separate scenes, independently of one another, at the same time. After establishing the essentials of their own scenes, the two switched, assuming other characters in the worlds established previously. It’s one of those formats better understood once seen. And seeing it in action was pure beauty. Bill and Bernard’s scenework is incredibly grounded, giving rise to extraordinarily emotional scenes, tinged with true situational comedy." - Keith Ecker, The Bastion
