Tickets for “Matt & Jeni Are Unprepared” are selling fast.
This is our storytelling improv show where Jeni and I compete to craft and tell brand new stories about our lives on the spot using audience prompts. It’s storytelling on a high-wire.
We are absolutely unprepared and never know what might happen. No idea what prompt we may receive. No idea if we’ll find a story to tell.
We’ve made audiences laugh, cry, and stare at us in disbelief.
It’s great. This will be our fourth performance of the show, hosted by Elysha, and I can’t wait.
I’d do it every week if I could!
Last week, our show was featured in Broadway World.
Jeni recently posted about the show and wrote:
“Matt is forcing me to do it again! Join us for “Matt and Jeni are Unprepared” on November 8th at 8 PM at Playhouse on Park if you want to see my cortisol levels spike and my perimenopausal hot flashes kick into overdrive. It will be fun…for you.”
For the record:
This show was planned and designed by the two of us via text message one day.
The competitive aspect of the show was Jeni’s idea. Truthfully, I always wanted it to be competitive, but I thought it might scare Jeni away, so I didn’t say anything to her. She and Elysha brought it up first.
Jeni is also happy to have performed once it’s done. She may not love that the first words out of my mouth after the show are, “When are we going to do it again?” But she is undoubtedly happy to have done it.
I have had many storytellers ask me if they might substitute for Jeni when and if she isn’t available, but I have always said the same thing:
“Jeni Bonaldo is the only storyteller whom I trust to stand beside me, utterly unprepared, and perform so brilliantly and with as much charisma, talent, and charm. We also share a chemistry onstage that can’t be duplicated.”
So don’t listen to her complaints.
Poor Jeni. It’s so hard to be so good.
So come watch the poor, beleaguered talent that is Jeni Bonaldo alongside Elysha and me as we tell stories on the spot and attempt to entertain an audience of paying customers who expect to be entertained by two storytellers who are truly unprepared.
