Veishea is back. At least that is what Friday night’s “Dew the Rec” seemed to indicate with a performance by Wayne Brady, co-star of ABC’s popular improvisational TV show, “Whose Line is it Anyway?”. The show set a record for the most people in attendance for a “Dew the Rec” event. Anne Schmalenberger, entertainment committee member for “Dew the Rec,” said more than 3,400 people came to the show.

Outside, before the show started, a line of people snaked around the Lied parking lot, waiting to be let in. Inside, the front half of Rec’s first floor was packed with members of the ISU community.

Brady’s performance was heavily based on “Whose Line is it Anyway?” as he and two assistants played games and acted out skits similar, if not identical, to the ones played on the TV show.

For one of the games, Brady invited three members of the audience to come on stage and take part in the show. In this skit, the three audience members had to control Brady and his entourage’s actions while the three men improvised a scene. Much like the TV show, the comedians quickly focused their attention on teasing the volunteers as they couldn’t move the actors’ body parts quick enough or in the right manner.

This wasn’t the only time Brady and his group interacted with the audience, however. For every game or skit, audience members were called upon to yell out suggestions for made-up names of songs, the styles in which they were to be sung and virtually anything else that was needed to act out the scenes.

Another game Brady and one of his assistants played was one in which each person took turns saying only one word at a time, making up a story, on the spot, about a “Doodooful Monkey” that tormented people by slinging feces and causing havoc.

While many audience members gave suggestions that were more on the vulgar side, Brady seemed to stick more to the Veishea theme of family entertainment, as he generally took suggestions of a less offensive nature. One of the most explicit parts of the show came during the last skit, when Brady was to sing a song called “I Want to Put My Evil Inside You.”

And of course no “Dew the Rec” show is complete without the occasional dry Veishea joke.

Although opening comedian Justin Leon’s act was very short, he proved able to connect strongly with the audience. Leon’s bit was considerably edgier than Brady’s as he discussed issues ranging from race relations to his self-proclaimed obsession with over-weight women, which turned into a hilariously un-PC ridicule of all the different excuses overweight people make about their size.

Another of Leon’s themes consisted of how he thought people should be rated on a one to 10 scale based on their physical attraction, and should only be allowed to mate if the two people equal a 10.

“A six can sleep with a four,” Leon said. “And an eight can sleep with a two, if he’s really drunk. One thing I don’t want to see, though, is an orgy of 10 ones.”

The greatest flaw of the night was the audio. On many occasions it was difficult to hear or understand what was being said, due to low volumes or sound interference. And although the show ended a full 45 minutes early, everyone in attendance seemed to enjoy Brady’s improv skills and silly antics.
