Comedy Tonight Made By Cheshire Academy

Last night, I watched the opening show of Comedy Tonight by Cheshire Academy. Honestly, I did not expect that this would be this funny. However, it made me laugh for almost three hours. It was a very long show which was about the length of two shows, but I would say it was worth it. All the actors showed their best. I also did not notice any major mistakes! Most of all, I was so impressed with the fact that all the skits were made by Cheshire Academy. Their creativity and sense of humor were so impressive. I think this show showed our Cheshire Academy drama program's potential and talent. We can even make our own scenes!

The basic structure of the show was one skit and one musical piece, and they repeat. After opening monolog, a few actors came out to the stage and started singing a very lively song "Comedy Tonight". It heightened my excitement. Then, the first skit started. It was like modified spelling bee. It  reminded of my memory of last winter. My favorite part of it was Jack's dressed up as a woman and John's Donald Trump act. Jack did not even shave his beard and acted as a woman, and it made me could not stop laughing. Also, John's loud voice fitted to Trump so much and they overlapped somehow. Musical pieces were funny too. I liked when singers changed their lyrics to make it funnier. For example, putting Ms. Guarino for "Whatever Happened to My Part?" was hilarious. I tried to look at Ms. Guarino upon the soundboard to check her face.

My favorite skit was definitely the "Morning Meeting Gone Wrong". This was, in my opinion, only understandable for Cheshire Academy faculty members and students as I found that parents were a little confused and do not find it hilarious. Anyhow, students did very well on mocking and catching unique motions for each individual and even for the appearance, they copied so similarly. #msminahan. Also, the "John Jiang, the Latte Boy".... It made John Jiang a star!

Unlike Once On This Island, this show required very frequent costume changes and complex movements. I could not only enjoy watching but also feel how hard they worked for this long show and thought about the script. I want to really thank them for making this possible. Great Job!
