FAQ: The Documentary

What is the Documentary?

It's a longform structure created by Billy Merritt and the students in his three UCB Level 4 classes. The structure is based generally on the structure of documentary films, and specifically on the structure of Chris Guest's "mockumentaries" (BEST IN SHOW, WAITING FOR GUFFMAN). It combines scenework with sharply focused character interviews, conducted by an "offscreen" documentarian, in which characters discuss their secrets, motivations, and fears.


What makes the Documentary different from other improv shows?

Well, I think the format really encourages bold character choices. In recent shows, Doc audiences have met merpeople, pirates, ancient Incans, stoned ex-hippie rock stars, and the Three Little Pigs.

I also think it is really fun watching performers find new ways to explore the "documentary" format -- whether through MTV-style "Cribs" tours, re-enactments, voice-overs, testimonials, "Cops"-style chase scenes, subtitles, or stock footage.


What makes the Documentary so damn funny?

Well, the format is really funny in and of itself, and lends itself to funny scenes, characters, and locations. But mostly what makes it funny is the crack cast of Documentarians, rotating every Tuesday, including Zohar Adner, Alison Becker, Eric Bergemann, Eric Bernat, Liz Black, Jane Borden, Sarah Burns, Chris Butler, Joe Catanzariti, Millie Cho, Brett Christensen, Helaine Cira, Sara Cohen, Mark DeLaBarre, Matt Demblowski, BJ Gallagher, Federico Garduno, Amey Goerlich, Alex Goldberg, Benj Hewitt, Ben Jones, Maggie Kemper, Dan Kois, Violet Krumbein, Margot Leitman, David Martin, Gabe McKinley, Brendan McLoughlin, Jessica Myles, Heather Peroni, Andy Rocco, Sarah Saltzberg, Risa Sang-urai, Jeff Scherer, John Snyder, and Kate Spencer.


Wow, I'm sold. When and where is the Documentary again?

It's at the new UCBT at 26th and 8th, Tuesdays in April at 11:00.


What are the names of the various Doc crews?

Not all of them have names yet, but they include Best Looking, the Demblowski Syndrome, Camp Cummings, and Gay Paree.


Actually, I think that's Gay Paris.

Oops, sorry.

Not to be an alarmist, like DISHMAN... but this will be the VERY LAST TIME TO SEE "BEST LOOKING"!!!!!! (this week). You will be telling your Great-grandchildren about this show... mostly because you will have forgotten how to put on your pants.

Mark Delabarre is the taller, cooler version of me. My alarmism stunted my growth and it will stunt yours too, if you don't get to Best Looking's last show tomorrow night!!

Want to be cool and tall? Be there tomorrow.
