Flyerer of the Week: Bloomers

With the frankly overwhelming amount of student shows this weekend, the struggle between FOMO and I-can’t-believe-I-paid-$10-for-this-ticket is real. For this week’s Flyerer of the Week, we bet on Bloomers to dazzle us with their hilarity. Were they successful? Well…

Who are you and why are you out here? We’re Bloomers, Penn’s all-female musical and sketch comedy group. We’re flying for our show, Snowpocalypse Now. We chose the title a few months ago, though, before all this crazy weather happened.

So are you saying that you guys saw this snow coming? I mean, we wrote the show in late fall. I don’t want to say that we predicted it, but…

Alright, curious. When is the show? We have a show tonight at 8 p.m. and a show Saturday at 10 p.m. Tickets are $8 on the walk and $10 at the door, and you can pay in cash or Venmo. Group tickets can go for $6 or $7 depending on the size of the group, so there’s plenty of ways to see the show cheap.

What’s the best thing that’s ever happened to you while working on the walk? I was out here flyering once and going crazy, screaming things like “Come see pretty girls be funny!” when Amy Gutmann walked by. You know how people always say she’s never on Locust?

She’s never on Locust! If she was, we’d know about it. Well she was then! She grabbed my hand, said, “You’re great,” and left. It was probably one of the best things that’s ever happened to me.
