Comedy improv group Scriptless in Seattle coming to Cider Mill Stage
ENDICOTT, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – A comedy show that relies on quick wit and audience participation is coming to Endicott this weekend.
As part of their national tour, improv comedy troupe Scriptless in Seattle is performing at the Cider Mill Stage on Friday and Saturday.
Drawing inspiration from the beloved show 'Whose Line is it Anyways', the group performs improvised sketch comedy that features musicals, game shows, film noir, and more.
The performance is interactive with audience members being pulled on stage to be part of the show.
Group Manager Justin Folger says he laughs just as much as the audience.
'It's going to be a great time. We're going to have a lot of fun. This is unlike any comedy show you've ever seen before, I can guarantee it because I don't know what it's about yet. But on top of that, you go see a guy with a microphone and a stool, you laugh, it's great. At this show, sometimes you get to be the guy with the microphone and the stool. Maybe not in the same capacity, but you get to be in it which is really cool,' said Folger.
Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
Tickets are $30.

TikTokers are proudly proclaiming nepo baby status in the latest viral trend
Descendants of wealthy families — or so they say — are flexing their lineage for millions of views. A slew of TikTok videos of people shouting out their family's involvement in industry giants have gone viral. This trend, known as the "holy airball," is set to rapper Jeezy's "Soul Survivor." "Told her my dad runs a makeup company," Dhruv Amin, the son of ELF Cosmetics CEO Tarang Amin, posted on TikTok, in one example. "She said, 'Oh like a boutique,'" the next slide read. Then the reveal, captioned: "HOLY AIRBALL." Some commenters immediately recognized the satirical videos as jokes, while others lamented over their wealthy status or called them a "nepo baby." "I'm afraid you win this trend," one commenter wrote under Amin's TikTok. Amin's father just closed a $1 billion deal with Hailey Bieber to acquire the beauty brand Rhode. ELF confirmed Amin's identity to Business Insider. Amin's post was a stunt to bring attention to his artificial intelligence startup, Create. Many of the other posts appear to be jokes. A TikToker with the last name Khan said her dad owns the study platform Khan Academy, though the company said it couldn't verify that claim, and her name doesn't match the one it has on file for founder Sal Khan's child. Dan Folger, a photographer, posted that his family was involved in the coffee business. Folger (the man) told BI that he has no connection to the Folgers coffee brand. Like other videos that follow the trend, Folger's starts with, "I told her my family was in the coffee business." On the next slide: "She replied 'aw like a little coffee shop?'" Then, he completes the trend with a photo of a Folgers factory and #holyfuckingairball — a basketball reference for when a shot widely misses the net. As of Thursday morning, Folger's video had 5.4 million views. Some TikTok users included photos to show their relationships with high-powered CEOs. James C. Fish is the CEO of Waste Management, which reported $22 billion in revenue for 2024. A woman with the last name Fish posted photos with him in a now-deleted TikTok video. Others claimed connections to General Mills-owned food brand Annie's Homegrown and the Bellagio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. BI contacted Annie's, Bellagio owner MGM Resorts, and Waste Management to confirm these users' identities and did not receive a response.

Binghamton author talks new book 'The Sacred Order: And the Mystical Legend of Saint Francis of Assisi'
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – A Binghamton author is out with a new book that found fact often mirroring the fiction he was writing. Roger Brooks has published a modern day thriller titled 'The Sacred Order: And The Mystical Legend Of Saint Francis Of Assisi.' Brooks was inspired first by a visit he made to Assisi, Italy. Brooks based the main character and named him after his childhood friend Anthony Brunelli, who is a world renowned photorealist painter. In the novel, the character Brunelli is commissioned by the Vatican to paint a masterpiece. The fictional painter then discovers a series of connections between his own family, the Franciscan order and the Vatican itself. 'For me, it was really special to be able to mold the character after someone that I grew up with, that has a very interesting life, and then turn it into this story of fiction that has a really positive message in the end,' Brooks said. Over the 14 years it took Brooks to write his work of fiction, Brunelli and Brooks often got together to discuss life and its challenges. Brunelli says he went through a spiritual transformation following a debilitating head injury during a hockey game. As Brunelli recounted his journey to Brooks, many of those sentiments found their way into the book. 'A few years into it, we both looked at each other and realized that this is something that is out of the norm. It's almost like we were connected in this spiritual level where I was going through this awakening at the same time that he was writing about this character's awakening which happened to be me,' Brunelli said. Brooks says there were a number of other coincidences between what he made up for the book, and later discovered had parallels in real life. He says he's considering a prequel or a sequel and he'd love to be able to sell the movie rights. The book is currently available on Amazon and will eventually receive wider distribution. Both men will participate in a book signing at the Anthony Brunelli Fine Arts gallery on State Street in Binghamton during the First Friday Art Walk on June 6th.
