Have I mentioned lately how much fun I have with my comedy group Troupe Dynamic? Oh yes, I have. Oh well, I’m gonna do it again anyway, because this was TOO MUCH FUN!

Our first night of filming for our January Top Ten video ended with us gathering at Coney McKane’s in Downtown Decatur to film what may in fact be our silliest Top Ten moment yet (and that’s saying something). Bringing back “The Clown” character for one more appearance – we had planned last month’s edition to be his last – the rest of the the Troupers joined Doug in full-on clown mode for not one, but two ridiculous bits.

The first bit was planned and scripted for inclusion in the actual Top Ten list itself. I haven’t had a chance to watch the playback yet, but it was hard keeping a straight face during the filming, so I’m pretty confident that mojo will carry over to the final piece. The second bit filmed was hatched on the spot as a continuation of the scripted bit. We thought it might be fun to post it to the Troupe Dynamic site as a companion to the full video available at Thrive (exclusively for the month of January). Janet’s clown has a great opening line of dialogue in this…!

THIS is why I throw so much energy into this project. THIS is why I love working with this crew. THIS is why I keep clown makeup lying around.
