A Guide to Clean Comedy 1) Enjoy Comedy Since forming in February 2001, the Crosseyed Rascals committed themselves to clean comedy, which means no innuendoes, no profanity, no nudity, no harmful stereotypes. 2) Select Show Type Because of the unpredictable nature of improvisational comedy, no two shows are exactly alike. A show can vary in length depending on the requirements of an organizer. Longer shows typically include both familiar short-form pieces - such as from "Whose Line Is It, Anyway?" - and less-familiar long-form pieces such as those performed by Second City. 3) Set Budget If you are interested in making a booking but find that our rates do not fit your budget, please contact us to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. 4) Add Suggestions Performers will arrive with a "game plan" or "set list," but all improvised scenes are based on suggestions solicited from the audience right then and there. 5) Custom Scenes The Rascals can provide rehearsed sketch comedy in addition to improv favourites. 6) Learn the Skills Some audiences have been so insistent about "getting in on the action" that the Rascals have added the option of presenting workshops to interested parties. Instructors from the Crosseyed Rascals have honed their teaching skills at a variety of institutions, and can cover a variety of topics. Prices for workshops can either be dayrates or pro-rated per attendee. 7) Choose the Rascals The Crosseyed Rascals work hard to ensure that each and every show is a safe environment for young and old, rich and poor, church and unchurched alike to have some good, clean wholesome fun! Not only do the Crosseyed Rascals seek to shatter the stereotype of Christians as stodgy, inflexible sticks-inthe-mud, they also stretch the boundaries of hunour with their ability to create scenes and characters on the spot. The troupe members come from diverse theatrical backgrounds and training which they use to enhance their hilarious, interactive performances.
