Bassprov
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bassprov is a two person longform improvisational comedy show. The main characters Donny Weaver (played by Mark Sutton) and Earl Hinkle (played by Joe Bill) are middle-aged central Indiana blue-collar guys that spend their free time fishing and talking about sports. The show begins with an audience suggestion of a current event and "something you can stick your fingers in" and from there a completely improvised dialogue is created while interconnecting events from the characters lives and the suggestions, all while the two men fish. Bassprov is a Hook in Mouth production.
The show has been performed throughout the United States and internationally at festivals, clubs, and colleges and have been awarded the Nichols & May Award for Comedy Duo of the Year from the Chicago Improv Festival and Chicago's Best Comedy Group by Bass Ale.
