Dean Haglund is the best!!!! I was lucky enough to see Dean at the New York Expo, the Detroit Expo, and a comedy club in Pittsburgh. My family and I couldn't stop laughing from his performance on stage! He is so hillarious. Dean does improv, and basically what he does for his time on stage is make up an X-Files episode as goes went along, including the audience in the story. He takes suggestions and content of the story from the audience, so each show is unique. The thing being investigated can be anything from a cross between many different animals, to a vibrating icepick!
After Dean does a short intro he starts
the story using someone to make
sound effects as he goes about his day.
For the second part, someone makes
his arm movements while he discusses
the case in his lab, as he also has to
point to people as well as put his
glasses on, which would be a hard
task.
Next, uses another person, here in
Detroit, he used Charles Nelson Reilly,
(where as he also used people from the
audience, and in New York, he used
Steven Williams) to play a scene with
him. He is in 'Langly mode,' and Reilly
played Mulder. They both take turns
reading from pieces of paper strewn
across the floor that are either random
sentences from the audience, or at
New York, he used sentences he said
Frank Spotnitz wrote. This scene can
take just about any turn. If your a
shipper it can end up great:) In one of
the performances, I remember,
someone said they caught two certain
FBI agents making out in the backseat
of a car!
Yes, that's me up there with Dean! For the next part, he calls
someone from the audience (which I was lucky enough to be!!!)
to move his body parts to fit the script, as he stands completely
still. I think the hardest was making him walk and kick:) On my
autograph of him he wrote 'Thanks for moving me!' and said I'd
have to explain that:)
Dean kept me laughing the whole time. I definitely recomend
you see him perform if you haven't already. You'll be glad you
did:) I hope he will be around here again soon!!!!
Dean even has his very own website! You can see it, and learn more about Dean, as well as find out if he'll be performing near you by going to his site.
