Slide in the DMs 6th Anniversary Show at Fallout Theater
September 14, 2024
Angelina Martin’s Slide in the DMs celebrated its 6th Anniversary last Saturday September 7, at Fallout Theater. Held on First Saturdays of every month at Fallout Theater, the show celebrates (and just as frequently shames) those rapscallions who dare slide into a person’s DMs. After each person’s set, Martin returns to the stage and mines the comic’s DMs during an interview and then a team of seasoned performers turns those DMs into an improvised scene. The 6th anniversary edition featured Melissa Diaz and Matt Ross..
Diaz’s DMs revealed some very aggressive sliding into by one person, and after revealing during her set that she had recently become an expectant mother, the improvisers made several references to the movie Aliens. Not sure why motherhood gets such a bad rap, or is so terrifying to some… on second thought, I get it.
Ross’s set puts a spotlight on the perception that he is gay, the DMs he shared with the audience lead you to believe that everyone else expects him to be gay, with a recurring theme of 3am “you up” messages in various stages of directness. The improvisers seemed less terrified of these series of DMs than they were of impending motherhood and seemed to relish in Ross’s DMs as inspiration.
With 6 years down, and plenty of DM fodder to work with, we hope that Slide in the DMs celebrates at least another 6 years.
