Valorous Bufanda, The Gary's

Valorous Bufanda, Rochester, NY, is "Inspired by the insane genius of Del Close and The Family's classic form ""The Deconstruction,"" Valorous Bufanda begins with a basic day-to-day scene and then pulls it apart from the inside out, exploring every nook, cranny, crook, and granny that there is to explore. Its like what would happen if when kids at summer camp made boondoggle lanyards, instead of weaving together gimp plastic string they used unprinted Marx Brothers sketches, personal stories, Magnum PI, and French Postmodernism.
Oh. And its funny."

The Gary's, making their return to PVD because of a mutual love for one another are a team of seven NYC-based long-form improvisers who met in 2009 while training at the Upright Citizens Brigade. Collectively, members have studied improv, sketch and theatre at The Magnet (NYC), Second City (Chicago), BMI, and with teachers from iO (Chicago). We have performed at venues all over NYC as well as at the Boston Improv Festival, The Providence Improv Festival, the Del Close Marathon and the 2012 NYC Improv Festival & the 15th Annual Chicago Improv Festival.
