The Adjective Improv Challenge #8


Cory Phillips, Raychel Winstead, and Stephen Dillard-Carroll pick out characters for their roles as “contract killers” to kill a character that you hired them to kill.

Dennis’ Commentary: I really enjoyed the point-of-view perspective for this video. Basically, the camera is the person the improvisers are talking to about the character they’ve been hired to kill. I may have to do this theme again.

Extra-Ordinary, Extra-Extravagant, Extra-Awesome, Extra-Sensual Improv Challenge #7


What is love? Clint Vrazel, Cory Phillips, Tim Huckeby, and Kellen Hodgeson explain what their love is like to a pair of lovely ladies sitting outside by a fireplace.

Dennis’ Commentary: No one was burned during the making of this video. Fire pretty.

Now Available on the iBookstore!


I’m excited to announce that my Uncovering Oklahoma’s Date Guide book is now available to download for free on the iBookstore for iPad.

Why so long? Well, I first created a paid books account, which took a week to get approved. When that was finally set up, I found out that even though the book was free, I still needed an ISBN code unless I had a free books account. I created a free account, published it and a few days later here it is. So, yeah, I have two iTunes Connect accounts, which will be useful because I will have both free and paid books.

For the next edition, I plan to include ideas in Edmond and Stillwater along with more outdoor activities. I’m looking at either an April or May release. I haven’t done anything for the second edition yet.

On a somewhat related note, we had Chinese for lunch at work today. My fortune cookie read: “Book lovers never go to bed alone.”

Succulent, Juicy, Sexy Improv Challenge #6

In the freezing cold Ben Davis, Kyle Gossett, Michael Roberts, Stephen Dillard-Carroll, and Jessi Kyle pick out characters from a hat to act out a scene. Using the cold weather as inspiration, the scene takes place in a chilly warehouse involving computer hacking for U.S. nuclear codes

Dennis’ Commentary: It was really, really, really cold when this scene was filmed outside of Beverly’s Pancake House after night of OKC Improv. I loved how everyone used the cold to their advantage in the scene. It was totally worth braving the cold weather for this challenge.

Date Guide PDF Released

The Uncovering Oklahoma Date Guide book is now available as a free PDF download so check it out!

I wrote the book with all types of couples and dates in mind to show that there is something for everyone. There are pictures of every place, quotes from people as to why they personally think a particular place makes for a great date spot, and even links to watch YouTube videos. In the first edition there are over 25 different ideas for dates with sections on Oklahoma City, Bricktown, and Norman.

Future editions will include even more ideas and will expand to other cities, including Tulsa. I’m barely scratching the surface of all the great places and things to for dates in Oklahoma. The book will soon be available to download via the iBookstore to view on your iPad. I’m still dealing with a few matters, signing contracts, and that sort of stuff.
