X-Files Improv

If you were a fan of the X-Files then you’ll no doubt remember Dean Haglund.  He was a member of loveable trio of kooks ‘The Lone Gunmen’.  More specifically he was the one who looked like Garth from Wayne’s World.

Haglund is no doubt using the popularity of the X-Files to draw the crowds to his improve show but it’s a fine concept at the same time.  The idea behind the show is that he, along with suggestions from the audience, will create a brand new episode of the X-Files right before your very eyes.  Since he is relying heavily upon the aid of the audience he has every right to declare, “If I suck, it’s your fault”.

Thankfully he doesn’t suck and he uses his outstanding comic skills to improvise his way through some kind of storyline involving Tiger-Badgers.  Each section of the developing plotline uses ‘Whose Line Is It Anyway’ style improve favourites – such as audience members providing soundtracks, literally lending a hand and providing random sentences that Haglund will use to develop the plot.

It’s all good fun and Haglund is in a comfortable role as the comedy Master of Ceremonies.  If you’ve ever fancied being part of a Fringe show, here’s your chance.  If not, then just go along assured of a good time.
