Fabiano, Emmons, Woldt host “Who’s Line is it Anyway?” Thursday

What could be said to a dog that could not be said to a girlfriend?

“You’re so cute when you lick your butt,” said Livonia sophomore Alleah Webb.

Webb was one of four contestants playing scenes from a hat in FEW’s Line Is It Anyway Thursday night in the Fabiano, Emmons and Woldt Halls lobby. In scenes from a hat, the host pulled slips of paper from a hat and asked contestants to act out what immediately came to mind.

The event was modeled after the television show “Who’s Line Is It Anyway,” an improvisational comedy show where contestants take turns acting out skits and playing improv games.

Webb used to watch the show all the time as a child, and signed up for the event because she likes the show and likes attention.

The other three contestants were Battle Creek junior Jeremy Erskine, Holt sophomore Dylan Clauson and Kalamazoo junior Daryl Kuipers. They competed for a $10 and $15 Meijer gift cards and a Best of Whose Line DVD.

About 20 students showed up to watch the comedy show Thursday.

Troy senior Kyle Patru, the host of FEW’s Line, said he wanted to get people laughing.

“Hopefully, (we will be) getting a lot of people here to wind down after classes,” he said.

Games played in FEW’s Line include scenes from a hat, the dating game, props, party quirks, and superheroes. All of the games involved the contestants thinking on their feet and competing to impress the judges with their wit.

Other questions asked during scenes from a hat were what is one thing you would say to Gov. Jennifer Granholm, what was one thing you would change about CMU, and what would you say to the people living below you in your residence hall room.

Erskine, the winner of the program, was in an improvisation group his senior year of high school.

“I just like to make people laugh. Laughter makes people feel better,” he said.

Although a relatively small number of students attended the event, those who did attend had a blast.

Audience member Jordan Kantola, a Ravenna junior, thought it was pretty funny and well put together.

“I’ve always been a fan of what FEW puts together program-wise, so I thought it would be fun to come watch,” he said.
