One of the most audacious things we’ve seen on stage in awhile, unsurprisingly comes from one of the more audacious performers we’ve come across in awhile. One Blake Rosier pushes himself in both performance and his comedy with marathon performances that span several days, literally living in a theater, to going on a first date on stage, and more.
Rosier’s latest endeavor involves coming up with an entire show with a stranger that he sources off of Craigslist within an afternoon and then putting it on stage that very same evening. Rosier tries to cleverly give the Craigslist guest collaborator as much control over the direction of the show as possible making for a unique one-of-a-kind comedy experience.
Oh yeah, there’s a documentary of the whole experience being shot the whole time, which is yet another fun, meta part of the show. The only way this would be riskier, performance-wise, would be if there was a daredevil, life-threatening part of the show (and maybe that will end up being part of it?).
The latest edition of I Cast Them Off Craigslist is set for this Fri. Sept. 30th at The Yard Theater. Tickets are only $8 and you better go snag them here.
