Tragedy of Improv

So I've been in Chicago all summer, taking class at Second City for a couple of weeks and seeing shows left and right.

Most of it has been hilarious, inspiring, and fresh. However, one group I saw, The Bad Touch, was mind-boggling beyond compare.

Some lines/scenes from their show:
-A girl is in her house when ghosts show up (voices from off stage), she begins to fight the furniture and finally is pinned down by a chair. A voice from offstage yells "I want you to fuck that chair." Blackout
-A woman is dealing with the death of her mother, her husband says "I've decided to appear only in blackface from now on." A few more minutes pass of the woman talking to other characters when her husband says again "I've changed your mother's will. She wanted to be buried in blackface." SCENE
-A 10 minute scene of a woman playing a 13 year old boy convincing another woman playing a 12 year old girl to give her a series of blowjobs.

...EVERYTHING IS DARKNESS AND TEARS!
