A Spy In A Speed Boat Is Being Chased Down A Ri

We are not handsome but there is talent to give away ... This story appeared in the newspaper El Mercurio


round of applause for "The improvisers"

JIMENA VILLEGAS happened a few days ago and in primetime. While Channel 13 aired yet again a summary of stale jokes routines at the Festival de Viña, Chile cable signal Via X gave a masterclass on how to make quality TV with the same raw material: humor. His trump card is a program that debuted in January, half-hour called "The improvisers."
Space, genuinely funny, revolves around a simple scheme: five players, all of the company Mamut, are subject to improvisational theater games for the studio audience. The topics, always surprising, are so colorful and simple as "my first time on a carousel" or "Wild West" and the only resources available to the young quintet is the voice, gestures and accompanying music. A moderate charge is Juan José Gurruchaga, a figure cast in TVN.
tuning data provided by the channel itself Way X aware of how the curve of viewing the program has been rising, reaching almost 2 points. Is a marginal figure for network TV, but notable for the number of pay TV: the most viewed channels, which are the children move around the 3 points. What matters of "improvisation", but not their technical issues, but the premise that realizes.
One is that it is possible to do something novel with the usual: the key is to shoot the neurons to twist. Another innovation is that we should not spend millions: the simplicity of its staging is bordering on famine. And third is that you can be consistent and also win the battle for rating: Via X is a channel that has chosen to turn his back on show business, and in this case a comedy chose white as snow, whose heart are the actors in Mammoth. They are not especially handsome or arm scandal, but they have talent to spare. And note that in addition to enjoy what they do, have many tables and great preparation.
can not tell if a space and work on network TV. In fact, a similar proposal is handled TVN see. But one thing is certain: between a summary of stale jokes at the Quinta Vergara and freshness of "improvisation" there is nowhere lost.
