Great College Campus Game Show at SIT

That would be Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken NJ and WOW what a campus. A view right across the Hudson River to the Manhattan skyline. Not cheap real estate I would imagine.

Hoboken is also home to the not famous Carlo's bakery of the TLC Television show fame "Cake Boss." I stopped in (got in a long line) and had a Canoli. Even added some questions to the Bonk game that night that related to the downtown area of Hoboken as it's always a perk to personalize the game for each campus or corporate client.

We had an AWESOME and vibrant crowd that night as well. But why not, they were playing for a Wii Game System or worst case was external hard drives and NetFlix subscriptions.

Thank you to Robyn and the Entertainment Committee at Stevens Institute of Technology for the wonderful hospitality. Hope to see you all again at the school or another NACA convention.

The BONK Show in Hilton Head featured in LOWDOWN magazine

(Not the most flattering picture of the Bonk Master Kerry Pollock - but a nice article for Hilton Head - Here is the full link and article is following: http://www.npaper-wehaa.com/bluffton-today;see-B0y4vfDXa7t98e1A#c-121541

GET ‘BONKED’ ON THE ISLAND - article by Tim Wood.

LOWDOWN

No, the Low county hasn’t opened its first brothel. “Bonk” is the name of a comedy game show that is staged at comedy clubs around the country.

It stops this week at the Hilton Head Comedy Club. Take some time out from the rat race of the last-minute Christmas gift herd and you might just get the chance to take out some of your aggressions by hitting others with a mallet for laughs.

A lot of Vegas and cruise ship shows try the game show format for laughs, getting audience members to hold buzzers and answer silly questions for prizes. What makes “Bonk” different is that audience members actually get to hit their fellow contestants with mallets.

The producers of the show liken the experience to “Jeopardy” meets “The Three Stooges.” Contestants are given “bonkers” and hard hats. If they think they know an answer, they hit themselves over the head with the bonker, triggering a ring-in buzzer.

Then the game moves on to something called back bonking, where contestants must hit each other over the head to pass on a question and make the other answer.

The winner of the back bonk round then plays the Big Bonk Challenge, where they can win cash and prizes, including restaurant gift certificates and bar tabs from the club. All throughout, players answer questions as silly as “Can a pig get sunburned?” to more traditional trivia. Plus, they’re asked to complete challenges that can be a bit more embarrassing — and therefore hilarious for the crowd.

The game is played three times, with nine contestants picked from the audience to play. Plus, the less daring ticket holders can win prizes in between-round trivia contests.

The game was created by comedian and magician Kerry Pollack, a road-tested performer who developed it to play at trade shows. But he quickly realized that “Bonk” was a perfect event for comedy clubs, too. “Bonk” plays at the Hilton Head Comedy Club at 8 p.m. today and Saturday.

BONK hits Bermuda....aaahh

There are far worse locations to be hosting the bonk show as a corporate game show the in the country of Bermuda. Being my first time there, we were excited to see the island and all it had to offer.

Not only did we have a blast working for the client, we've been asked back next year. YEAH!! It is likely we will play a few venues based on the response from last year. From the downtown comedy club, The Fairmont hotel and a private event.

Here's a pic of us working hard....

On top of that I made a few dives on old shipwrecks, tasted some wild foods (absolutely fabulous...yet pricey restaurants). Looking forward to it again the 3rd week in Sept 2009.
