Bollywood Goodness

Geva Comedy Improv has learned a lot from Bollywood films (The first link below is from Gumnaam and the second is Janwaar both are from sometime in the sixties). The first lesson is steal from the best. The makers of Janwaar decided that if they were going to steal, they might as well steal from the Beatles. That's why we at GCI scour the globe for great improv talent like Iron Cobra, Dad's Garage or Rapid Fire Theatre and steal as much from them as possible. Some might call this process learning, but stealing sounds more Oceans 11 and less Revenge of the Nerds.

The second lesson from Bollywood is to wrap it up with a big song and dance number.

The third lesson is to wear weird masks.

That concludes your lesson...um...shoplifting session for today.
