I was really lucky to see Erika last week in Chicago while she was performing in the 20 sided tavern.

(It’s a D&D game on stage with improv comedians and interaction from the crowd)

It’s really fun, and it was the final performance for her run there. During the adventure the audience effects things by voting on their phones, naming characters and completing challenges for skills checks.

Anyways, the audience chooses Erika to be a himbo barbarian. hilarious.

Later the someone in the crowd is asked for a name for an enemy we came across. The man picked in the audience says “Erika Ishii”. So now the bad guy is named after the actual person playing one of the characters, hilarious.

Later, in the second half we again need to name a character, and a different person on the other side of the theater says “Berkeley Mayor”.

There was a moment of confusion, until Erika shared that her sister is really the Mayor of a Berkeley California. So now the adventure becomes absolutely insane, super meta and one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.

There was clever word play by the other cast members about the various characters Erika had voiced. The apex coming when The Himbo Barbaran, played by Erika Ashii, called the “mayor of Berkeley” to drop and air strike on the bad guy “Erika Ashii”. Pretty amazing.
