Last night Bob and I performed together on stage for the first time in nearly two years. We perform at home everyday, especially with our beloved puppets Sock and Snail, but rarely does this husband and wife team take it to the stage. The four of us (Bob and Mo and Sock and Snail) took it to the AIC Cagematch last night, where we reigned victorious over Jessica and Kristin's positions as five-week victors.
Puppets trump all. Bob could have scratched his balls for twenty minutes, but as long as there were puppets active and present on stage, it was comedy gold. Gimmicky, but it works.
We invited an audience member on stage to describe her day, and then Sock and Snail reinacted it, but with special Sock and Snail-type activities (like when Sock Turtle Waxed Snail's shell). I grabbed a cheap joke when they went to eat at a Brazilian restaurant and Snail (my puppet) looked down and gasped, "Where's my pubes?!?" Cheap, but it got a laugh.
We won 11-0. LANDSLIDE. Thanks, puppets!
This was the first time I have won a Cagematch.
