This is crazy! On April 1, 2015, two weeks before our final monthly show, some WorkJuice Players and friends gathered at Largo for the "April Fool's Day Funaround," an evening of classic Thrilling Adventure Hour scripts performed in a wild style. Hosted by Paul F. Tompkins as "K of the Cosmos," names were randomly assigned on stage, in the moment. Part of the fun was the various degrees of familiarity with the show. While the WorkJuice Players in attendance--PFT, Marc Evan Jackson, Craig Cackowski, Autumn Reeser, Busy Philipps, Annie Savage, Hal Lublin, Janet Varney, and John Hodgman--know the show very well, as do frequent guests John Ross Bowie, Lauren Lapkus, Andrew Daly, Mark McConville, and Michael McMillian, it was an insane introduction to the world of TAH for Ben Schwartz and Felicia Day.
This April Fool's Funaround is a show we talked about doing for years, and it turned out to be as much fun as we'd hoped it would be. Don't be surprised if we do it again sometime.
In the meantime, if you like silly, unscripted business starring the WorkJuice Players, please join us in New York on October 8 for the WorkJuice Improv Experience featuring PFT, Hal, Craig, Janet, Mark Gagliardi, and more, and guest monologist Jean Grae!
