Best of Robot Dinosaurs

Last night, I had a pretty rad time with a live reading of a Parks and Rec spec script I wrote for a Comedy Lab course at iO West. (Which by the way, if you are considering taking, you totally should).

It's amazing how much you can learn with actors and an audience. You watch as bits you thought were omg-amazing fall flat, or tossed off moments you thought were just filler end up getting huge laughs.

Prior to our little show, we were supposed to hand out questionnaires to the audience so that they could tell us how much we suck/rule in various aspects of our work. I left the back page of mine blank for additional questions, comments, or doodles of me fighting a robot dinosaur. Below are the best of the results:


How will you capture me with those girlish arms, t-rex??










The position here is one of might and fearlessness. The inclusion of the shield shows safety has certainly been looked into. Bravo, anonymous audience goer, bravo. 


















Don't know how I feel 'bout the lumpy side-boob though.








This one takes a sassier, feminine approach. Also, kudos for the selection of a stegosaurus as the terrible lizard of choice.


We've all been there, am I right ladies??







This third one didn't actually answer any of the questionnaire, but took the most elaborate approach with the back page space, with me going on a date and subsequently bickering with a 'Brontobot'. Signed as, and thus credited to @Likover



Get it? *I* was the Robo-Dino the whole time! 




But the pièce de résistance, was most certainly this little number, by my pal, comedian Micah Bleich. Move over INCEPTION, because this is the biggest mind-bending twist of the decade!

  3. Excellent job on the script.
    Had a lot of fun, which is extremely rare when a friend invites to their show as you know from The Joint performance.
    @Zia, so true

  6. You've been the robot-dino the whole time?!?!?! that explains the long gaps between posts.
    @Zia, I would have just pepper-sprayed, dropped onto my back and kicked in the air violently as I yelled "NO ANAM-BOT, NO-MEANS-NO!"
