History O' Pickle |
It all started in the early 80's when Def Leppard was dominating the music world and "The Kids from Fame" were beloved by all. It was, in the spirit of performance, that Pickle was born! As "Fame" was entering it's second season, the need to cast a romantic lead for "leroy" was growing stronger by the hour. An open casting call was made and a bunch of fresh-faced kids showed up. Unfortunately for Leroy, none of them were chosen for the role and he would spend another seven years on "fame", but fortunately for those ten odd kids, they were able to form an even more wonderful and hilarious group of improvisation and wit! After hours of discussion on what to call their group, the smallest one of them all, Roonak, put up his hand, and as all of them respected polite behaviour, they let him speak. "Why not something that rhymes?", he said. "Everyone loves rhyming words!" And they all agreed that Roonak was right. Eventually they decided on "Tickle me Pickle", the greatest rhyming words of them all. And to celebrate Roonak's idea, they heald an improv show on his birthday!. Aren't they thoughtful? |
