John and Claire: A Parody

One of my good friends from college is in an improv comedy group in Seattle. He invited us to come see their current show, Dirty Laundry, while we were in town. I was more than happy to go see it as he is one funny guy (and so is his wife, who is also in the show). The premise of the show is couple's therapy, and they use a couple in the audience to portray. Surprise, surprise, John (my friend) chose John and me to parody! It was extra funny because the last time I went to one of his shows, I was portrayed then too. Now I expect it every time I go. ;)

John B. (my friend) came out and interviewed us, then our answers were fed to the cast backstage. He asked us what we do, do we have kids, and then a grievance we have with the other. I jokingly said, "He's the most perfect husband ever" and John said, "She could be better about keeping toilet paper in all the bathrooms." So that was the basis for the show. It ended up being hilarious!! It came out that I was an assassin and then John became one too. I was dying laughing during the whole time! I didn't have our camera with us, but luckily there were some pics posted on the improv group's website!
