Comedy Cup Match To Be Held On July 17
Two improv comedy teams — St Gorgeous and Stunnerset – will go head-to-head for laughs when the annual “Comedy Cup Match” is held later this month, with the event serving as a fundraiser for Family Centre and BUEI.
A spokesperson said, “Two teams are gearing up to battle for laughs in the zany improv “Comedy Cup Match”, to be held in the Tradewinds Auditorium at BUEI on Friday 17 and Saturday 18 July.
“Two teams, St Gorgeous and Stunnerset, will be captained by Julia Pitt and Toby Butterfield, respectively. The teams will compete by performing scenes improvised on the spot based on audience suggestions. In effect, TV’s “Whose Line is it Anyway” will meet Bermuda’s Cup Match. Alan Brooks, a popular veteran of the Bermuda stage, will be the umpire and will award points to the teams based on the volume of applause they earn.
“Although the audience as a whole will be invited to make scene suggestions, the performers will not put individual audience members on the spot.
“The Bermuda Improv Group [or BIG] is arranging this “hilarity for charity” as a fundraiser for Family Centre and BUEI. All net ticket proceeds will go to the two charities. Family Centre will also earn the proceeds from drink sales.”
Producer Alan Gilbertson says, “For the last two years, the Comedy Cup Match sold out and the atmosphere was fantastic. We’ll try to make this year’s match even more fun. Wear your team colours, bring your flags and make some noise for your team. Above all, enjoy a good laugh!”
A spokesperson added, “Tickets are on sale at www.bdatix.bm at $30 each. Drinks will be on sale from 7 pm in the BUEI lobby, and the shows will start at 8 pm.
