ANDY 'THE COMEDY JEDI' BENNETT |
| |
Five years ago, Andy Bennett disbanded in what turned into an acrimonious split. After three multi-platinum albums in 1996's My Own Prison (6 million), 1999's Human Clay (11 million) and 2001's Weathered (6 million), Andy Bennett had hit a roadblock, both professional, and even more, personal. A meeting at an Orlando hotel, where Andy Bennett exchanged pictures of his family with himself, resulted in a reconciliation and a decision for Andy Bennett to tour, or as Bennett puts it, "a second chance to look for the cleansing showers to wash away all that garbage."
Favorite Games: Sound Effects, Slogans, World’s Worst, With Arms Wide Open.
Least Favorite Games: Ballet, Superheroes, Marlins Will Soar.
Do The Points Matter?: “I got one foot stuck in heaven, yeah / One boot stuck in hell / I looked at God, he winked at me / I made this mess myself.” |

JORDAN 'CATFOOD' CURTIS |
| |
Jordan is returning to the stage after a prolonged stay in Sherwood Forest as the modern day Robin Hood. Unfortunately, he was forcibly removed by Little John after consuming too much mead and then holding up his band of Merry Men at arrow point. When asked why he did it, Jordan simply replied, "Costner." He now draws comfort shoveling snow, grooming cats and avoiding British accents.
Favorite Games: Beasties, Dating Game, Entrances & Exits, Playground Insults.
Least Favorite Games: Rant and 185.
Do The Points Matter?: Almost always. Except when they don't. |

SARAH 'AIN'T NO WEINER' DIENER |
| |
Sarah is a recent UMD graduate with degrees in theatre and dance. She stumbled into Renegade`s Improv team one year ago and has enjoyed filling her weekends with laughter and inappropriate humor. Some favorite Improv moments include being apologized to by a mean and rowdy audience member and of course anytime Jody takes some item of clothing off.
Favorite Games: Anything physical like Slideshow or Fast, Faster, Fastest.
Least Favorite Game: Three Headed Monster.
Do The Points Matter?: YES. They are how I measure my own self worth. |

SCOTT 'MR. VOICE' HEBERT |
| |
The hardcore gamer of the group, Scott has KO’d Mike Tyson, saved the Princess, and farmed Nefarian (back when Nef was BA). He joined Renegade Improv in October 2009 and has since run the tech full time – which means he makes inappropriate comments and tries to make lighting cues as funny as possible. He is a recent graduate of the Jody Kujawa School of Wine Tasting, Small Engine Repair, and Improv Comedy. He failed the first two sections.
Favorite Games: Forward/Reverse, Playground Insults, World's Worst.
Least Favorite Game: Styles Replay, 185.
Do The Points Matter?: Yes, but only if we get really silly with them. Like giving 5 points per answer to help a team catch up. |

KATY 'THE ORIGINAL THUG LIFE' HELBACKA |
| |
Katy likes to think of herself as one of the teams "cleaner" players. She's a fan of saying "peep" and "frack" instead of the dirtier versions of those words. Although don’t expect her to be sweet during the rapping games - she has dope rhymes, and often drops threats of murder to her fellow players. She's also not shy about using violence during games like Interrogation, and will pull out her 'finger gun' whenever necessary.
Favorite Games: Infomercial, Movie Critics & Good, Bad, Worst Advice.
Least Favorite Games: Anything that requires too much movement.
Do The Points Matter?: Only if I'm winning. |

MATTY "THE TERRIBLE" HELBACKA |
| |
Matty "The Terrible" Helbacka ruled over Russia with an iron fist and violent temper. He does not recycle. He voted Republican in the 2000 Presidential election. He has had, and will continue to have sex with your girlfriend on your birthday. He created the Facebook while studying at Harvard. He uses spoons, licks them clean, and consistently places them right back in the drawer. Your drawer. He changed the voices of the Muppets to confound America's youth. Invented the fist bump, chest bump, speed bump, and co-wrote Fergie's hit single, "My Humps."
Favorite games: Film, TV, Theater Styles; Moving Bodies, Jingle.
Least favorite games: The ones I lose.
Do the points matter? This isn't T-ball. No one is taking the losers out to Pizza Hut. Breadsticks are for winners. |

EVAN 'BIG FUNNY' KELLY |
| |
Evan was the type of kid who climbed into sewers in hopes of finding the ninja turtles. His family stopped going to church after Evan ruined the Christmas program when he was 6. Evan has been doing improv with Renegade since we had to beg people to watch us perform above Hell's Kitchen in Canal Park. His style is a cross between a Velociraptor and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Evan has a variety of characters in his repertoire, but unfortunately, most of them have no business being on a stage.
Favorite Games: Moving Bodies, Playground Insults, Slogans.
Least Favorite Games: Oxygen Deprivation, Good, Bad, Worst Advice.
Do The Points Matter?: Yes. I've been keeping a running tally for 2 years. I'm losing, and I'm bitter. |

JODY 'CRAZY' KUJAWA |
| |
Jody Kujawa has an unfair advantage over the rest of society. While they have to conform to the trappings of physics, he comes barreling around corners bending light and changing the physical properties of solid matter. There is currently a Broadway musical in the works based upon his travels and studies with the Dalai Lama. It is titled The Unbearable Insanity Of Being Awesome. He has recently won a Pulitzer Prize for creating a new vowel. While being a fan of Della Reese, he finds the television show Touched By An Angel to be a bit too preachy for it's own good.
Favorite Game: Rant.
Least Favorite Games: 185, Entrances and Exits.
Do the points matter?: If the points get me laid, then yes. |

STEPHEN "BABY DADDY" OERTEL |
| |
Stephen has wondered aimlessly through the world trying to find pieces of himself and for the moment as landed in Duluth. He joined the team hoping to find the meaning of life or a sack full of Jelly Belly's (assorted flavors), but instead has found it to be a portal through the imagination. Now he is spiraling out of control and he couldn't be happier. Being the only one on the team to have fathered children (that we are aware of) he has a tolerance (and sometimes stomach) for things like dirty diapers, random puking episodes, people sleeping with their eyes open (still creepy, no matter what) and high pitch crying. Along with that he's harnessed the power to tune everything out around him.
Favorite Game: Beasties, Entrances and Exits, Playground Insults.
Least Favorite Games:Do-Run-Run, Styles Replay, Slogan.
Do the points matter?: Yes, I believe in competition and that a clear and concise victor must be determined. The saying "Everyone's a winner" is pure honky. If my team loses then I go hobo punching. |
