A dress among kilts

[Rex_Tremende]

I thought the idea of improv was to go with what you've got, employing the art of saying, "Yes, and..." without getting ruffled. And if the guy came in drag when when shouldn't have (a choice he made off stage, but apparently couldn't reverse before going on stage), you had every right to skewer him as a foil to nearly every joke about a man in a skirt. It sounds like you set the tone from the start, but from your description of the reaction, it sounded like people might have been uncomfortable with either the guy in the dress, or maybe the open hostility. Or both. Did it continue that way? What role did he play the rest of the night?

I'm sort of confused as to why there'd be a special "Kilt night" in the first place. Was there to be a Scottish theme to all of the skits or scenarios you'd act out? Were they meant to be costumes? Or props? Or ignored? Or a just gimmick to get people in the door? Then what?

I noticed on the Jet City Improv web site, there's an embedded YouTube video that promotes confusion between kilts and dresses. Isn't this just as deplorable?

Please ignore me. I'm just trying to exorcise a few frustrations I brought home from the office today.

Regards,
Rex.
