Massive Improv has moved from the now-defunct Helios to the Mink, and its current weekly showcase features a broad assortment of offshoots and related groups, including the theme and structure-oriented Scatter!, the all-female Soviet Bunnies and the ยblack humorย duo Deep Fried. Massiveยs Julia Morales started Deep Fried with childhood friend Autumn Knight. ยWe both grew up in the Third Ward and love impersonating the people there,ย Morales says. They channel both stereotypes ยlike the girl with the weave and ridiculously long fingernailsย and less obvious characters, such as two church ladies intertwining judgmental quips with Christian pleasantries. ยItยs just like we did in Johnston Middle School,ย she says. ยWeยd watch people and try to impersonate them when they werenยt looking.ย
