Matt Baram has interesting pants!

What a crazy last night at the Gladstone!  Comedian Ron Sparks began the night by bending time.  Given only 5 minutes for his 7 minutes of new material, Ron forced it all to fit into only 9 minutes!

Next up, professional mascot, Markwell Ottolino-Perry, who is the mascot of a certain baseball team in town (but we’re not allowed to say which) refused to reveal the mascot secret of which part of the costume they actually see out of.

This led to the discovery that Monkey Toast Player, Matt Baram, has quick-change pants, which he made good use of by revealing his bare bottom to the audience.  Not to be outdone, Paul Bates, revealed his aqua-marine underwear.  There’s proof to it all somewhere on Facebook.

Lastly but not leastly (is that even a word?), friend of the show Dave Bidini told us how he’s going to the upcoming Vancouver Olympics to check out the party, not the sports.  That lead to a scene with Matt and Aurora Browne as broadcasters from the Olympics.  Due to a problem with the stage, Matt’s chair, fell into the stage as he sat down.  Luckily he wasn’t hurt, but Aurora laughed so hard that she almost gave birth (literally, she’s like 5 months pregnant).

All and all, a very memorable show to end our time at the Gladstone Hotel.  Hope to see you all at our new home, the Comedy Bar.

I seriously haven’t laughed that hard in a year….and I laugh all the time.

I heard this this show Monkey Toast was really funny. I was surprised when I actually saw it that it was very serious. Many of the scenes were very dramatic and sad, quite frankly. So I must commend you on taking such a risk with improv. Only true actors would have the guts to take such chances with dramatic improvisation. Bravo Mr. Shore!
