This week's improv cage match pits Buddy Daddy against Grandpa. These two improv troupes will perform for 22 minutes, after which the audience will vote to decide which team advances to the playoffs and which teams leaves for home slightly affected by their loss.

New to improv? Not sure if you'll like this show? Read what the Austin Chronicle had to say about Buddy Daddy in this week's issue:

"The night we saw Buddy Daddy as part of the Friday Threefer at the Hideout, the audience suggestion was "bizarre," which Simone used to spark the scene of a fortuneteller at a bazaar, the magic man attempting to unfold mysteries of the future for a client played by Robin. From there, the duo moved on to other scenes, including a sorority girl concerned over the dating habits of her roommate and a ballroom lothario relentlessly if vainly wooing his latest dance partner. For that last scene, Simone hoisted the hapless canine into his arms and did a slow tango back and forth across the stage while speaking unheeded words of seduction. Any of these gambits would be merely cute and quickly tiresome, except that Simone is no slouch at conjuring characters from thin air and bringing their personalities to vivid, often humorous life."
