‘Whose Line’ comic aims for laughs in Athens Brad Sherwood shares his love of comedy

Brad Sherwood and Colin Mochrie performance When: 8 p.m. today Where: The Classic Center Theatre, 300 N. Thomas St., Athens Cost: $29-45 Contact: 706-357-4444, www.ClassicCenter.com or www.uga.edu/pac and 706542-4400

BY ANDREW AKERS

aakers@gainesvilletimes.com Brad Sherwood and Colin Mochrie, famed improv comedians from the Emmynominated show “Whose Line is it Anyway?,” will perform at 8 p.m. today at The Classic Center Theatre in Athens.

During the show, Sherwood and Mochrie will take suggestions and contributions from the crowd to create original and improvised scenes, going so far as to invite audience members on stage to participate directly.

Both comedians were featured prominently on “Whose Line,” which ran for eight seasons on ABC and was recently revived on The CW. The two have been touring together for more than 10 years in venues across the United States and internationally.

The Times spoke with Sherwood about his career, show and comedy.

Question: You have performed as an actor, comedian and game show host. What is it that attracts you to improv?

Answer: I love making people laugh. Once you go into comedy, that becomes your favorite thing.

There is nothing like the high of being on stage and making people laugh. It never gets boring because you never know what is going to happen. You don’t know what you are going to be doing because you are using suggestions from the audience and you are bringing people up on stage. So it is completely unexpected. You just have this live-theater adrenaline rush combined with making people laugh and there is nothing better than that.

Q: Is there such a thing as

a mistake in improv? Are you ever at a loss for what to do next?

A: No, not really. You are in a constant state of “What’s going to happen next?” So, you can’t relax and expect everything to go right, because that is impossible.

Your job is to take everything that is happening, especially when it is going wrong, and turn it into something funny. Generally some of our funniest moments are the mistakes that happen on stage and how you make them even more bizarre and goofy and hilarious.

Q: You recently did a show for sixth-graders in Wisconsin.

How was that?

A: We don’t do that very often.

That was actually the first time we have ever performed for a group of sixth-graders. I would say in the 10 years we have been doing our show, I have probably never been so nervous beforehand. You don’t know what you’re going to get. They don’t have a wide reference level and their attention span may not be what you expect. But, we had a great time. We did a 45-minute show and it was hilarious and

goofy. It had probably the biggest energy we’ve ever had for show.

So, it went great.

Q: What can people attending your show in Athens expect?

A: It’s completely made up.

It’s all improvised live. We bring lots of people on stage and we used lots of suggestions from the audience. But, no one that comes up on stage, comes up against their will. Anybody (who) is terrified of the thought of having to go up on stage doesn’t need to worry because that is not going to happen.

If like watching the show “Whose Line,” then you’ll, even more so, like watching improv live, because it’s kind of controlled mayhem.

Q: How has being on “Whose Line” affected your career and your life?

A: One of the great things is Colin and I have been doing this two-man show for 10 years. If it hadn’t been such a popular show, we wouldn’t have been able to do a 10-year tour. That is definitely the greatest window of opportunity to have opened.

Also, it’s kind of fun being the old guard of a generation’s worth of kids growing up watching and knowing what improv is about.

Before “Whose Line” came on the air, no one really knew what improv was; it was kind of like a theater workshop game. There weren’t very many improv groups and now every high school drama department and college has improv class as part of their curriculum and a lot of colleges have their own improv groups.

It’s kind of fun for us to be some of the people (who) helped bring a greater awareness of improv to the rest of the country.

Q: Is it difficult to tour and work with the same person for 10 years?

A: It’s not difficult. We get along famously. We constantly say in interviews that we have never had an argument and that is absolutely true. That is because it’s fun.

‘Thor’ still not big hammer in franchise JEFF MARKER jeffmarker@rocketmail.com

Film Review When “Thor” thundered into theaters two years ago, the prospects for the franchise looked very different than they do now.

Chris Hemsworth certainly looked the part of Thor, but he wasn’t yet a bankable lead actor.

The Iron Man movies had already posted huge earnings, but “The Avengers” had not yet conquered the cinematic world and thus raised the bar for all other Marvel properties.

“Thor” and “Captain America: The First Avenger” posted mediocre earnings and were only moderate performers abroad.

Walt Disney Studios In the post-Avengers world, Chris Hemsworth portrays the Marvel comic book hero Thor in a fight in “Thor: The Dark World.” though, turning the same modest profits will likely not meet Marvel’s standards. So a Earth, in this case London. number of interesting questions All the principals from ‘Thor: The Dark World’ surround “Thor: The Dark “Thor” — Jane Foster (Natalie World.”

Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Portman), Darcy (Kat Dennings), Will the success of “The Stellan Skarsgard, Idris Elba Erik Selvig (Stellan Skarsgård), Avengers” boost the second Rated: PG-13, for sequences of intense sci-fi action and Odin (Anthony Hopkins), Frigga Thor’s performance? Or will the violence, and some suggestive content (Rene Russo), Heimdall (Idris franchise suffer because it is no Run time: 2 hours Elba), Sif (Jaimie Alexander), longer buoyed by the Iron Man Bottom line: Another good but not great entry in the Avengers Volstagg (Ray Stevenson) and franchise? Ultimately, will this universe the rest — are back and mostly sequel allow the Thor franchise unchanged, though Selvig to succeed independently of the has gone a tad crazy after other Avengers properties? action sequences are huge Kenneth Branagh’s direction, being possessed by Loki (Tom In many ways, “Thor: The improvements. the dramatic scenes and comic Hiddleston).

A villain, in downright incoherent at times. the movie’s laughs. It’s also into the same stratosphere this case Malekith (Christopher The strengths and fun watching Loki and Thor as “Iron Man,” and it comes Eccelston), seeks a source of weaknesses of “Thor: The Dark spar as very believable sibling nowhere near to the level of unlimited power, in this case World” are exactly the opposite. rivals.

And of the dialogue leaves much Heimdall’s presence. starter but left plenty of room course the attack point is on to be desired, but the The visuals are vastly for improvement. Thanks to

improved over “Thor.” It was apparent in the 2011 film that the animators had created an extensive world for Asgard, but the landscape was mostly shown at night and the 3D made it even darker. It was a muddled mess.

Much more care was put into creating the computergenerated landscapes this time, and Asgard looks wondrous.

The filmmakers also set scenes in pubs, at court and in the streets, fleshing Asgard out into a fully developed place.

Tying the story into the other Avengers storylines adds a level of enjoyment, and the action sequences are well-crafted and fun to watch.

But in other ways the writing ranges from ho-hum to awful.

A love triangle subplot between Thor, Jane and Sif is introduced as significant early on, then it disappears. At one point, an Asgardian uses the cliché phrase, “I’ll see you in hell.” So, the Asgardians suddenly have a hell?

Something is also beginning to nag at me about these individual Marvel superhero movies. Malekith very well might destroy the universe. So why not assemble the Avengers?

How is this megalomaniac’s threat any less than Loki’s in “The Avengers?” And if it is, why should I care as much?

Of course, these questions might be more a result of superhero exhaustion rather than flaws with this movie.

“The Dark World” is enjoyable viewing, but Thor will continue to be a supporting player.

Marvel has yet to find a character who can replace Iron Man as the brightest star of the Avengers universe.

Georgia Arts Tour features Atlanta man Northeast event to stop in Sautee Nacoochee From staff reports The Northeast Georgia Arts Tour will make a stop at The Gourd Place in Sautee Nacoochee this weekend.

The tour will feature special guest artist Jim Reeves of Atlanta from Nov. 8-10. He also will conduct a demonstration Saturday.

Reeves has been a friend of the owners of The Gourd Place for many years and attended gourd gatherings with his wife, Barbara, and daughters, Kaitlin and Amelia.

Reeves has been a hobbyist photographer and architect for the past 45 years and recently began to develop a unique process

for enhancing his photographs.

He enhances them initially with a computer program and then prints them on artist papers. Next, Reeves embellishes the photos using watercolor, felt tip pens, ink, and/or pencil.

“Developing this process has allowed me to pursue two passions, photography and sketching,” Reeves said, adding his passion for travel is part of the mix.

A new show will take over Helen Arts & Heritage Center today.

“Do You See What I See” will feature the 2-D and 3-D work of Nancy Ackerman and Mitty Higginbotham. A reception will be from 5-7 p.m. Nov. 7 at the Helen Arts & Heritage Center.

Ackerman will showcase her painting and fused glass, which she has worked with for more than a year.

Ackerman relocated to Helen in 2010, with encouragement from a close friend. She began a brand new chapter in life and soon became involved with the Helen Arts Center. She met with

many local artists and crafters and learned pottery. But she always returned to her first love of painting.

Higginbotham lives in Toccoa and has been drawing since he was a child. Watching his father work on cars, he found a way to incorporate his interest for cars into his art.
