Neil Mullarkey & Andy Smart improvise German cabaret

On June 2, 2010, British comedian Stephen Frost hosted a special night of improv comedy at Webster Hall, NYC. Accompanying him were other Brit comics Neil Mullarkey, Andy Smart, Steve Steens, with special guests Eddie Izzard and Mike Meyers (not Brit, but Canadian, ha). Basically it was like the original Whose Line Is It Anyway? where they encouraged audience suggestions.

During a short intermission, the audience got to write scene suggestions on slips of paper and put them into a bowl. I wrote "1930s German cabaret." And it was chosen! And the audience actually laughed and clapped in appreciation for it! Unfortunately Eddie didn't go up to act anything out, however he DID provide the "Willkommen"-esque background music that you can hear, while Neil Mullarkey played a sashaying emcee and Andy Smart played a chorus girl who struck exaggeratedly spread-eagle poses on a chair, before Steve Steens interrupted with German gibberish.

(The reason why Neil calls for Donatello is because the suggestion that was picked before mine was "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at the prom.")
