Pitch Slapped w/ Shaun Leonard
About this Event
Real pitches, real professionals. Our show begins with a screenwriter sharing their passion with our improv executive, who greenlights their movie! But in Hollywood, there's always a twist. To justify his job, our exec makes some key changes to the story with the help of the audience, his snot-nosed kids, and whatever other characters happen to wander by. Our talented improvisers then show you a trailer for the movie, then 30 minutes of the best scenes from the 90 min fictional movie. It's like watching a movie, without all the boring parts!
Each writer brings their own brilliance to our stage, and our improvisers go in completely blind-- the writer doesn't know what will change, and the improv team hasn't heard the pitch. Come for the satire, stay for the chaos!
Shaun Leonard is originally from Galway, Ireland, where he inherited a love of storytelling from poetry, Power Rangers, and Thursday Night Smackdown. You can see how he feels about all of those things in his TEDx talk, and in every fiber of his being. He travelled around Ireland performing his one-man show INSECTS, SELF, SEX, LOVE, AND BLOOD before moving for an MFA in Writing at UNLV. After years in film development, he made the logical next step to become a tabletop creator and professional Game Master. He can be seen in the award-winning short ROOMIES and is currently designing his own board game based on reality television. As an Irish immigrant, he writes about rebels, underdogs, and the diaspora of folklore. You can follow his work @dmchaoticgoof and on chaoticgoof.carrd.co
