Who are First Four Names?
First Four Names is how this bill lists Four First Names, a musical improv duo of Chris Barry and Richard Paul. Their speciality is to take a defining moment from the life of someone in the audience and turn it into a funny, fully improvised musical story. One such show followed a twelve-year-old girl from Tennessee who grew bolder on a sudden journey with the monster from under her bed, a creature she had misjudged. At the Countdown Improv Festival the two were joined by Ralph Krumins as music director, and they had been part of that festival each year from 2019 through 2024. [1]
