The Ex Tutor Sketch - Boston's Improv Asylum

I wrote this sketch and entered it into a competition. It was among a dozen chosen to be performed by the Improv Asylum in Boston. They changed my ending to make it longer. I just had the tutor getting creeped out and leaving her.

Lyrics:
Late last Friday night
I was riding home on the B Line
And to my surprise nobody puked on my feet
But with all the students gone
There were no drunk girls left to hit on, settle for copping a feel on the T

Thank god they finally left
We've got our city back
and if the summer never ends and the schools never open again,
Don't let the students back into Boston

I really hate my work
Making coffee for a city of jerks
But it only gets worse when the hipsters return to the streets
No, we don't make cappuccinos with soy
I can't tell if you're a girl or a boy
I hope that you spill all of your Chai on your skinny jeans

Thank god they finally left
We've got our city back
and if the summer never ends and the schools never open again,
Don't let the students back into Boston

Imagine they shut all of the colleges down
There would be no college in this college town
Close MIT, we loose all the Asians
Close Harvard, no more rich Caucasians
Close BC, we loose touch with God
Close Northeastern, no more hot bods
Close BU, we loose our drunk girls
Close Suffolk, we loose our drunk girls
Close Berklee, loose our smelly girls
Close MassArt, loose our kinky girls
Close Emerson, we loose our gay girls
Close Simmons, we loose our even gayer girls
Our even gayer girls

Thank god they're going to return
I guess my lesson's learned
All good things come to an end
So that we can all get laid again
Please bring the college girls back to Boston

... But only if they're drunk

The College Town

Charlestown is full of robbers. Boston is full of colleges.

Starring: Matt Catanzano, Evan Kaufman, Ryan McFarland, and Molly Schrieber.

TEDxCambridge comedy summation | ImprovBoston | TEDxCambridge

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. ImprovBoston provides a comedic summation of the TEDxCambridge speaker talks.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
