Get ready for an evening of sidesplitting laughter as the dynamic duo Colin Mochrie & Brad Sherwood from TV’s “Whose Line is it Anyway?,” take the stage in a one-night-only uproarious live show, ASKING FOR TROUBLE. Armed with their lightning-fast wits, Mochrie & Sherwood transform the audience’s suggestions into an unpredictable evening of non-stop comedy gold. No script? No problem! “Asking For Trouble” is a wild rollercoaster ride of hilarity, where 2 improv legends prove they are still the best in the business. Known by TV audiences for their work on Whose Line is it Anyway? Colin & Brad improvise new material every night from audience suggestions & participation. “Interactive” in every sense of the word, Colin & Brad will take the audience on a comedic high-wire act, just like a live version of Whose Line! Their amusing, PG-rated family show includes variations on many of the games showcased on Whose Line Is It Anyway?, including “Sound FX” & “One Word Expert.” As Mochrie & Sherwood take caution to point out at the beginning of each show, the scenes that make up the act are entirely unscripted. Throughout the evening, the show becomes truly interactive as audience members are called to the stage to participate in the fun. Mochrie & Sherwood both rose to prominence on the improv TV series as frequent players in its original incarnation on Britain’s Channel 4 and then as star performers on the American version of the TV show from 1998-2006.
I had the chance to catch up with Colin Mochrie once aGain before the October 23rd show in Wausau at the Grand Theater and October 24th, right here in Madison at the Overture Center. Colin and I discuss the live show, exactly like what is stated above plus he shares a little extra info about one thing they definitely do from city to city. We talk about his work in the movie, Magnetosphere and if I were to bump into him somewhere out in the world, where might that be. A little regular guy Colin kinda talk. We end by talking about the greatest backstage gift he has ever received and just who was the giver of such a thing.
