Scott's Back

Scott Nelson just got back from a couple months on a boat. Tonight was his first show back with Prime. It was great, he's been missed. When people come back from boats it usually takes them a couple weeks to get back into the groove of doing long-form. Out of all my friends that have gone on a boat I figured he'd be the one immune to that learning curve and I was right, he didn't miss a beat. He's the most engaging performer I know, he has that innate watchability, that undefinable quality you just can't look away from. Performing with him there's a sense of spontaneity and unpredictability, you never know what he's going to do.

We had a great show. Craig and I were covered in sweat by the end. There were moments where we completely gave up the pretense of improvising and dissolved in laughter. It was like dominoes. At one point Scott said something that broke Craig which broke me which broke Morehead which came back and broke Scott.

I'm very proud of our Prime shows and find them extremely satisfying creatively. We all have different styles but share a similar point of view about the work, about improv. We make choices, we land and declare, we move fast and with purpose, in pursuit of fat grins and belly laughs. When its working, when its really working, it feels like we're parts of a whole, tapped into that fabled and elusive group mind. With Scott back it feels complete again.
