We went downtown last night to see the Colin and Brad Show. If you’re a fan of the Drew Carey hosted show Whose Line is it Anyway?, then you know Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood. Their talent is amazing. I had tears literally streaming down my cheeks.
The show consists of variations of the games seen on the show, with an extra or two. There is lots of audience participation with most games including audience members on stage. The Raleigh performance included one guy in an aisle seat on the front row that was wearing an inflatable horse. Brad brought the guy up on stage for individualized ridicule.
My favorite game was Mousetrap. In this game, one hundred mouse traps are scattered over a portion of the stage. Brad and Colin remove there shoes and socks, put on blindfolds, and play the alphabet game done as an opera. (They alternate phrases, each beginning with the next letter of the alphabet.) All this while wandering among the loaded mousetraps. The performers end up tossing the traps at each other, while still blindfolded, and the whole game was the funniest thing I’ve ever witnessed.
