A Drunk Christmas Carol

Professional actor Samm Hill downed 5 shots of vodka, then performed the role of Scrooge in Dickens’ most famous Christmas story. A troupe of professional improvisers did their best to keep the classic story on the rails, but were subverted by wacky audience suggestions, a wheel of accents, an ugly sweater contest, holiday hors d'oeuvres, a wine raffle, and gift giveaways throughout the night. This kind of party show is lovingly ripped off of the format for Drunk Shakespeare (NY). Don't worry, they've given us their blessings! 

Two fine audience members played our All-Knowing "Christmas Spirits" who stopped the show several times and made the actors drink OR spin the Wheel of Fate, which forced the actors to change the way they were doing the scene (as if improvising it wasn't enough!).  They had to speak their lines with a Russian accent, for example, and pretended that they were floating in space. Horrible accents and terrible over-acting was absolutely had.  

We gave away several gift cards (our presents to you!), $100 Visa card to the winner of the ugly sweater contest, $850 was won in our 50-50 raffle, and at least one person won a $110 bottle of wine from our 30 bottle wine wall.

OH, what fun it is to ride in a one-drunk Christmas Carol! 

The gala was graciously sponsored by Nothing Bundt Cakes, the Golden Valley Brewing Company, and Thinking Tree Spirits.
