So, there are two comedy shows going on this weekend, both of which are open to the public and completely free of charge:

WHO: KILROY sketch comedy: "Insert Coin to Continue!"
WHAT: Filmed/live sketches, standup before and after the main show
WHEN: Friday the 22nd at 7:30pm
WHERE: Riley Commons

This show has been advertised (and from what I've seen so far, deservedly so) as possibly the most offensive show Kilroy's ever done. From transubstantiation troubles to awkwardly-named unions, there'll be nun costumes and physical humor galore.
I'm taking part in this one, kinda. I volunteered to do stand-up (that's right, I'll be doing stand-up for the first time ever friday night) and am in a few filmed sketches because [livejournal.com profile] elenuial needed extras. I also edited a filmed sketch to help Luther out and may possibly be in a dance number, if needed.

WHO: Empty Set
WHAT: Movie Showing, "Comedy Wears a Tie"
WHEN: Saturday the 23rd, 8pm
WHERE: Kinnicutt

I'm no longer in Empty Set, but I'm totally going to see their show to support the new movie endeavor.

So, now back to work. I'm done with my whoring.

I only have to write out six full-length character sheets for "Oh God, Everybody's Dying!" (the rest are short horde summaries), and the people playing the six angels are going to have one hell of a time (no pun intended).

---
For those who don't know, it's a horde larp based on the concept that Armageddon happened and everyone is, in fact, dead. God rolled up a committee to judge the incoming, and the angels will have to agree on the judgments while the newly dead will have to do their best to get inside the gates.

I'm also very much making the characters up as I go along, with very little initial inspiration. They've been more than fleshed out, as I've finished two sheets, but I've found that you can tell more about each character from their "Fellow Arbiters" section than their main one. It's strange - I've actually gotten into the practice of filling in the typical "who you know" part of the sheet as a precursor to writing what should be the more important part. I've discovered that the way they see and describe everyone else on the judging committee tells a lot about personality and thought processes, as well as gives their future players something to laugh at and spin off of.

Writing humor into character sheets? Good times.

As a side note: Does anyone who writes character sheets typically get someone to beta read them?
