Fandom High School

GOB looked miserable when the students walked in. If somebody were to guess that he was hung over, they wouldn't be wrong. And if somebody were to guess that the puppet patting him on the back was being poorly controlled by GOB, they wouldn't be wrong about that either.

( Workshop #7: Cut for mild puppet swearing. )

GOB spoke up again. "And don't forget about the talent show on Friday. Have something prepared."

GOB walked into Caritas just a little late, looking tired and hungover. He took a seat, said "Be mimes. Mime about last week," and put his head down. Mimes were good today. They were quiet.

"If anyone makes noise, they have detention!"

After the students had walked into Caritas and settled in, the familiar opening to The Final Countdown began. GOB walked onto the stage much more calmly than usual and waved to the students before finally stopping and speaking into the microphone. "You know, I just flew in from California, and boy is this joke tired!"

The zombie drummer rolled off a perfect rimshot.

"Continuing with last week's comedy theme, today we're going to be trying out standup comedy. A standup just has to be funny, so the entrance isn't as important as it is for other forms of entertainment. Just walk out to your music, be gentle with your audience, then rip into whatever the hell you want for a few minutes. Take a couple minutes to come up with your act, then take turns up here."

"The only rule is that you have to be funny. It doesn't matter what you joke about as long as you remember that. Also, don't mock me or you get detention. Just because I have a thick skin doesn't mean I have to use it."

"Oh, at the end of the month, you all have to participate in a talent show. And next week I'm coaching a basketball game. Come out to see!"

[OOC: I'll be AFK at work for most of the day, so interaction will have to be just between you lovely people until later. It'll be okay! Workshop info post will be up ASAP.]

After the students made their way into the lounge at Caritas, the zombie band started playing "The Final Countdown" and GOB took the stage.

"Hi there. My name is GOB Bluth and I'm here to teach you how to be an entertainer. Over the next few weeks, you'll be trying your hand at ventriloquism, dancing, illusion, and today's topic, singing. We're in a karaoke bar. You should have seen this one coming."
