Lucky and Pozzo hit Brady street performing amazing feats such as stand on your hands on this table, a song, a children's story as told by Christopher Walken, an irish jig, amuse my young boy by acting like a kitten, amuse my young boy by acting like a puppy, beg for a doggy biscuit, make out with my dog. Mr Tim Chrapko played Lucky for this outing, for some reason people want tim to do adorable things. They typically want Peter to do violent things. Explain this phenomenon!
Then we changed outfits and went to Riverwest to do previews of Made in the Mouth. This worked middling well, the audience reaction was mixed, but those who liked it liked it enough to give us wads of cash. We need to do it a bit later at bars or a bit earlier at cafes, or maybe just on a better day.
There was a general lack of people on the street all day (compared with Tuesday anyway).

June 19: Brady Street
Posted by R. Winsome.
Lucky and Pozzo hit up Brady Street with feirce performances including: snort this whisky up your nose, do 10 push ups, strip, strip more, this time i wanna see the pants come off, climb that telephone pole, a poem, push the next bicyclist that goes by, chase a car down the street, an articulate rant against George W Bush, but no back flips for once.

June 9: Pridefest and Locust Street Festival
Posted by R. Winsome.
On Sunday, after the Pink Banana TotallyGay show at Pridefest, Lucky and Pozzo hit the streets and raised some green for Made in the Mouth.
Highlights include:
"walk on your hands" - Lucky bent over and put his hands under his feet as he walked.
"punch him in the balls" - Lucky punched Pozzo, jab-style and stuck a bit high, hitting below the belt-buckle but above the cack. The crowd boo-ed. Pozzo adjusted Lucky's swing to an upper-cut into the crotch, resulting in a satisfactory pain in the testicles, and wincing in the audience.
"run the fuck on down there, all the way" - Lucky ran two blocks down locust street, leaving his hat behind, Pozzo put the hat on Tim the helper man (on top of his other hat, like Timmy-two-hats!) and made him be Lucky for a bit.
"chase that guy like you're a zombie"
"do your funniest thing" -Lucky told a terrible joke about chicken breasts in the style of bad stand up comedy. the requester was so dissappointed. the most disappointed requester ever.
"ride this unicycle" - here was the deal, a woman had a unicycle and if Lucky could ride it, then we'd get the dollar, if Lucky couldn't ride it, she'd give him a quick lesson and we'd pay her a dollar. He couldn't ride. we paid. She taught him a little. then she rode around us in circles, with Lucky's rope in her hand, creating more spectacle and more money for us. Everybody wins. I gave her my card, hopefully she emails me and wants to do street theatre with us.
"pantomime giving a spider monkey a reach-around" - This is one of those requests that Lucky doesn't understand. he thought maybe "reach around" meant putting your hand around the shoulders of your date in a movie theatre. He pantomimed this and made a "Dunsen Check's In" reference, which he is very proud of.
other bodily injuries:
Lucky hit Pozzo in the face.
Lucky fell on his head twice.
Lucky kicked Pozzo's ass.
Lucky fought with Pozzo.
Lucky pushed Pozzo off the crate.
Lucky did a number of backflips and a summersault over the suitcases.
Lucky did two head stands on pavement.

9/23 Center Street Daze, Sept. 23 2006
“Insurgent Theatre special deals, today only! Deal #1: Your own play, $1. You name the characters and then watch us write, produce and perform your play before your very eyes! Deal #2 Touch a butt, $.25, you pay us!” We sold two communist T-shirts, and enough crappy renditions of Julius Cesar and ass grabbing to make back what the site cost us.
10/7+8 Riverwest Artwalk, Oct. 7+8 2006
The first appearance of our friends Lucky and Pozzo. They traveled through the community spreading good cheer and performance art. Highlights include: drink from a dog dish, strike his companion (Pozzo) , sing Broadway, rebel, climb a tree, and do unendurable back-flips. More Pictures!
10/14 East Side Underfoot, Oct. 14 2006
Lucky and Pozzo's second adventure at a Milwaukee festival. Highlights include: playing dead, juggling a suitcase, more back-flips, telling thinly veiled racist jokes in public, dancing to the customer's terrible harmonica playing.
10/18 MIFF Gala at MAM, Oct. 18 2006
Lucky and Pozzo thought the Milwaukee Art Museum would be a good place for Lucky's performance art mastery. It is and art museum. The Gala party for the Milwaukee International Film Festival seemed like a good excuse for dozens of potential customers to be collected in the space. Highlights include: walking in without paying, dancing, being kicked out, Pozzo's complaint, sent to the offensive woman who kicked him out.
