After watching an episode ‘Parking Lot Wedding’ of Middleditch and Schwartz, I was deeply intrigued to the actors’ quick reactions and humors on stage. The structure of the show could be viewed as ‘unconventional’ because at first Thomas Middleditch and Ben Schwartz left their audiences to decide freely what was going to be displayed on the show. Four audiences then presented several keywords from their own life stories, the approaching wedding, relationship in the sixth grade, short ex-boyfriend, live music, Walmart parking lot……and so on. Two actors on stage then absorbed every keyword from the audiences’ discussions and created their own improvised show successfully with good scenes! They moved on very fast that they changed many characters in one single show by moving chairs and changing their voices, physical gestures and facial expressions. They performed both men and women authentically without confusing their audiences with their professional acting techniques. In the beginning of the show, we may perceive Dan (Dave) and his best man Corey were embarrassingly discussing Dan’s fiancée Kathleen’s relationship with short Paul before ages in the sixth grade, and Dan asked Corey to stop Paul from saying something mean in his coming Wedding ceremony. And then, they became Sebastian and Dave quickly. We could deduct so easily from two actors’ performances that Dan was afraid of his brother Sebastian’s overtly outgoing characters. They soon turned into Paul and Marnie (also called Amber, maid of honor in the wedding), and they were discussing about Kathleen, which implied that Paul still held romantic feelings towards Kathleen and gave the audiences more details about Paul and Kathleen’s relationship as sixth graders. We also saw some ‘unimportant’ scene of Dan and the man who claimed to be a ghost, who was then found to be the wild minister of the wedding surprisingly. When the wedding finally started, two actors performed as the bride’s parents and the groom’s parents. We saw very different personalities of these characters that Harold, Sebastian and Dan’s father, was very tightened and couldn’t make normal calm sounds while the mothers were excited but remained elegant and normal. At last, we came to our most expected scene: short Paul was going to say something mean on the wedding when the minister asked if there was a guest who wanted to say anything before the loyalty vow! What’s more, the minister, also called the ghost who had very loud, thick and trembling voices, was turned out to be the robber who robbed Kathleen’s pearl necklace after she and short Paul had left the opera house when they were six-graders. However, Kathleen still didn’t break her relationship with her current significant other and refused short Paul’s proposal right before the groom, Dan. They didn’t forget Corey. In the last several scenes, Corey lost his chance to present his best man speech on the wedding to Sebastian because he failed to stop Paul from ruining the wedding.

It was very obvious that Thomas Middleditch and Ben Schwartz were perfectly good actors that they did follow our five guidelines at most of the time. They used ‘Yes and’ in the very first scene when Dan and Corey were talking about Kathleen: they rebuilt the scene on each other’s given information by rephrasing each other’s words like ‘Yes she’s good’, ‘Yes she’s fun’, ‘Yes she’s beautiful’ and ‘Yes she’s gorgeous.’ They were also being extremely present because the audiences really couldn’t find out who would win Kathleen’s heart on the wedding unless they watched the last several scenes, which meant that the actors should have decided the ending very presently. It was easily seen that the musician guests were listening actively to what happened on the wedding that they made sounds on their instruments and sang ‘decide’ to the bride to inspire her final love decision. Thomas Middleditch and Ben Schwartz have been trying to make others look good in the entire show that they never rejected each other’s words, they only rebuilt on each other’s constructed contexts. All in all, their acting methods guaranteed that the show went on very smoothly with no communicative barriers.

I still remembered several ‘most memorable’ parts of the improvised show. Firstly, the show left a pretty good suspense to its audiences especially when short Paul was presenting his monologue of revenge to us audiences that he was planning to get Kathleen back on the wedding. What would happen next exactly? Audiences did not know so they had to watch the show continually in order not to miss the most expected part. Secondly, the actors really created short Paul’s current girlfriend Lisa in the show after listening to their audiences’ personal stories before the show. Just as the girl audience said she didn’t even want to attend the wedding, Lisa in the show finally got mad at what was going on there and screamed out ‘you psychopath’ to short Paul dramatically.

The most revered ability I’d like to learn from this show was the actors’ good memory. In long-form improvisations we must use this ability very well because we are not allowed to self-contradict with our former scenes. Most importantly, we also must keep up with all the characters we created, especially their established personalities, gestures, voices and their complicated relationships in order not to make our show a mess. Once your partner initiates a new scene with recognizable expressions, you have to know who he is currently, and who you are going to be to react to him perfectly to make the scene go on logically.

I wish they’d improve a little on their explicit sexual allusions. Six graders are still too young to have sex ‘nastily’ as the actors describe in the show. Underage kids should be educated in an appropriate way by adults when it comes to sex topics in the public. Anyway, I still like the show.

大概在第29分钟。

Thomas开车的时候很突然地湿了眼眶: "Actually..."

Ben侧过身关切地看着他"What’s wrong? Hey hey hey ey ey ey（看路）...What’s wrong man?"

-"Everybody takes photos of the good times, the hahas, the...（这里有两个词听不清）Nobody takes photos of...Me." "This character makes me nervous."

-"Why?"

-"Because... It’s just I’m worrying about being too real."

-"Okay. For you personally? Or for whom the bell tolls?"

-"For whom the bell tolls(?" "In order to make me feel better about it, can we give him something that really makes him totally different?"

-"Sure. Err... He’s got webbed feet."

-"Okay. And also, I own a cat farm."

就，一瞬间你能感到，舞台上的虚拟和舞台下的现实奇妙地相融，你永远不能知道Thomas眼角的泪是神来之笔般的角色设定，还是他因故事影响联想自身有感而发，钟声是为他敲响，抑或是他认识的什么人？然后Ben很流畅地帮Thomas一带而过，从容不迫地接上了原来的桥段，而正当他们进行着这段对话的时候，现场的观众还是持续哈哈大笑着的。

是什么让我在深夜里笑得像个疯子？

是它——《两个男人一台戏》

Netflix四月份出品的喜剧特辑。

才华横溢，脑洞大开，惊艳万分，神乎其神。

《两个男人一台戏》

Middleditch & Schwartz

共3集

两个男人一台戏，两位主角。

如英文剧名，一位是托马斯·米德蒂奇，《硅谷》主演，对我们来说是熟面孔了。

另一位是本·施瓦茨，曾出演过美剧《公园与游憩》。

两位都是业界有名的喜剧演员。

至于他们出演的角色，则取决于观众。

《两个男人一台戏》是米德蒂奇和施瓦茨联合为Netflix制作的喜剧特辑，全程即兴。

他们为观众献上三场即兴表演。

每一场演出都完全根据一条随机的观众建议进行。

全场表演没有剧本、没有台词、也没有经过提前排练，和随机的观众聊几句，然后用自己的灵感，一边创作一边完成一场约50分钟的即兴表演。

即兴表演对喜剧演员的综合表演能力要求极高，它需要你闪电般的快速反应能力、不可诉说的灵感、以及想象力、记忆力、注意力、表现力、逻辑关系处理能力等等等等。

人人都可以即兴，但是优秀的即兴演出需要进行系统地训练、多年地练习才能取得。

好的即兴表演，不仅演员自己玩得开心到飞，还同时需要把现场的几千号观众逗得直不起腰，米德蒂奇和施瓦茨的这场还得录制到了Netflix，逗乐几亿观众。

看起来鸭梨巨大，但是，米德蒂奇和施瓦茨轻轻松松就完全hold住全场。

第一场表演《停车场婚礼》，从某个现场观众喊出getting married开始。

某观众近期计划举办婚礼，在停车场遇见了旧日好友，于是发出婚礼邀请，新娘也提起来自己的一个前男友也会来参加婚礼。

短短的一两分钟聊天后，米德蒂奇和施瓦茨便开始了他们的表演。

让人吃惊的是，米德蒂奇和施瓦茨此次向观众贡献了了可谓天才级的表演，简直是太惊艳了。

他们两个人表演了一群人，婚礼新郎、新娘、新郎弟弟、新郎父母、新娘父母、停车场旧友、新娘前任、新娘前任现女友、新娘闺蜜、教父、玩音乐的几个人、还有鬼……

仅仅两个人，但整个舞台都是热闹的、栩栩如生的婚礼现场众生绘。

而且，他们并不固定自己的角色分配，而是互串角色 ，但是，观众又能准确辨别，因为他们为每个角色赋予了明显不同的口音、语气、行为、性格等。

因为是双人表演的缘故，两个之间需要极大的默契，能准备接到对方抛出来的梗，并紧接着抖出包袱，能挖坑，还得能飞快地填坑。

而米德蒂奇和施瓦茨做到的还不止如此，他们还热衷于给对方出难题，处心积虑的为难对方。

每次观众以为他们即将要搞砸这场演出时，才发现这不过是大招前的铺垫。

一场表演结束，你会发现，两人竟然为观众创造了一个既疯狂又合理，既出人意料又令人啼笑皆非的完整故事。

有开篇、起乘、转折、高潮、收场，整个过程逻辑在线，引人入胜，中间还夹杂着不少的神来之笔，堪称完美。

甚至连两人表演过程中的笑场，都能成为表演的一部分，成为笑点和看点。

第二场《魔法法学院》，一间教室里各个同学包括奇葩老师，跃然荧屏。“小羚羊”的戏份让人啼笑皆非。

第三场《理想的工作》，那段机场茅厕谈心戏，堪称经典，还有两人对决的石头剪刀布，简直是心灵相通的最高默契。

《两个男人一台戏》，在豆瓣上也拿到了9.0的高分。

这种宝藏一般存在的脱口秀，不收了实在可惜。
