This past Saturday night, Geoff and I took Celeste and our neighbor, Jordan Holmes, (remember that name - he’ll be famous someday) to see The No Pants Players improve group on stage at the Labelle Theater in South Charleston. Celeste and Jordan both became huge fans of Joe Wallace after meeting him last summer at Charleston Stage Company’s Summer Arts Camp, where he was one of the counselors. As soon as they saw that he’d be performing, they couldn’t wait to go, even though it meant missing the Kids Choice Awards on Nickelodeon. (I hope Joe recognizes just how big a compliment that is.)

What a show it was! I haven’t laughed that hard in ages. It was totally family-friendly, and the group pulled kids (and a few adults) from the audience to use in their act. These guys (and one girl) are so talented. I can’t imagine being able to make something up on the spot the way they do.

Admission was only $5 and the theater was very nice, although they didn’t have the air on so by the second hour, it was becoming a bit uncomfortable.

I don’t know how often they put on a show, but we intend to become regulars there.
