boston beanpot comedy festival

Jump to Comments

this weekend was the boston beanpot comedy festival. my boyfriend christian is one of the captains of suffolk’s improv team seriously bent so he and the rest of the team were competing! the festival featured college teams from all around the boston area.

it was a three day festival. thursday was the preliminary round. friday was a showcase where all the teams show off what they do best. and saturday was the semi-finals and final rounds.

i was only able to go on thursday, due to limited funds on my part. but the part i got to see what great! it was different than the dorm shows, which is . each team was prompted with a skit title and given 60-90 seconds to preform it. there was a panel of judges who scored them on a few different things. it was really fast-paced and a little crazy, but really funny.

i honestly don’t know how they do it. i could never be that quick on my feet.at one point seriously bent was given the title ” epic norse tale” or something like that. and they rocked it. it was insane. how do you even come up with that?

they made it to the semi-finals on saturday but sadly, they lost by one point. either way, i know they had a really good time (i mean, how could you not?), so that’s the whole point. hopefully there’s another festival soon!!
