About the Set List

Material we're working from:

• Peter's top 10 skotws

• Bob's top 10 skotws

  • It appears we both like "Three Characters," "Gilbert & Sullivan Present: Anaconda, "Five Angry Dentists," "Naming the Band," and "Soap Opera Man Gets Fired."
• Any other votes or comments from the Peanut Gallery ?
• I'd be willing to do the kidney song if we need a musical interlude.
• We could also do some "Rejected Letters to Miss Manners" as a running gag.
• What other material do we have lying around?

Criteria for a Set List:

• We should handle the same 'shape of show' issues we might have in Micetro or Gorilla Theatre -- successive scenes should vary in...

  • Number of players
  • Style/genre
  • Length

• Album logic: The first and last pieces should be the strongest.

  • Ideally, there would be a really good one pretty much in the middle. Ideally, our audience is never too far removed from a really good sketch, even if the current one sucks.
