Naomi Crashes New York (Live from Yes, Ann Improv Festival)

An enterprising young woman with pockets full of cash hits the big Town of New York as her father desperately searches for her while firing as many of his guns as possible. Will she become the queen of New York or fall into its underbelly? Will Toylaydo survive the big fire? What other details will be spread on The News?! Love, fire, and mystery ensue in Naomi Crashes New YorkCast: Eric Pedersen  -  Jordan Reichardt  -  Eric Muller  -  Philip AmlerHosted by Chuck CottermanFoley by Katlin SchneiderLive Production: Ed Zak~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~AI SUMMARY FOR GIGGLES:Naomi steps off a shiny chrome bus into “New York Town” on a sweltering July day with a dream in her head and pockets full of waitressing cash. That’s also the moment Greedy Jake decides she’s his next big score, and our live, fully improvised Golden Age of Radio noir starts sprinting. We pull real audience prompts from the room, then spin them into a fast-moving audio story with classic narration, big character swings, and old-time radio sound effects that make the city feel loud, crowded, and just a little dangerous.Back in Toledo, Naomi’s dad Bill Weatherson realizes she’s gone and does what any calm, polite man would do: panic, grab an unreasonable number of guns, and chase her to New York. While the big city runs at double time, Toledo slows into absurd chaos as observant Gus watches calamity unfold and Naomi’s mom discovers the joy of an expectation-free morning. The cross-cuts turn into a comic pressure cooker, pushing Naomi toward a nightclub deal, a new “friend” named Stinky Tom, and a romance sparked by a weirdly perfect detail: blueberry pancakes.Then a telegram drops a twist that reframes everything, and Donnie the boss shows up with a deadline and a harbor threat that forces a finale.
