Hey folks! Trying out a skit with some *actual* audience interaction..... with the setup being that the lovely Valerie is a huge hit in the wake of her debut volume (so, real life imitating art).... And now she's fielding a lot of "fan mail" and answering questions. Eventually, as we all know, the questions will lead her into saying or doing things that cause her to get hit with pies... or slimed... or caked.... and I probably WILL script those (fake) questions. But I thought it would also be fun for her to field some genuine queries from you guys!
So submit a question (not necessarily mess-related) and I'll pick the best ones to work into the skit! (Nothing asking for personal info, of course.) You're also welcome to submit a "mess-leading" question too.... Heck, if I get enough of those, I won't even need to write the skit myself!!
For those who are unfamiliar with Val, she is a genuinely lovely ball of energy and fun!
Val, what is the sensation of being a hot and sexy woman getting a lot of pies? It's funny? Strange? Exciting? And which pie it was better to taste in your face?
Rich, do you have any preview of when she might return? I think we all are looking forward for her next scenes with you
For intro questions, anything lightly silly and teasing - who is your favourite celebrity crush? What's your funniest romantic fail (that you're willing to share)? What's your favourite chat-up line, to say or receive?
Not that you need any help with scripting, but since the offer's there, could be some fun with either truth or dare options - answer a more revealing or embarrassing question, or take a pie/slime/cake.
Or just good old-vanished slapstick, "What's your favourite flavour of pie/cake? Here why don't you try a few samples..." "What's your favourite colour of slime? Here, why don't you try a few samples..." Etc.
I like this concept, so here are a few questions...
What does your significant other think about you getting pied and slimed in these videos?
Which do you like more, french toast, waffles or pancakes?
How long should you date someone before you fart in front of them?
To what extent can existential meaning be considered objective rather than a product of subjective human interpretation within the framework of existentialist and phenomenological thought?
Question: "Do you like Chocolate Cake?" Valerie: "Oh, not really?" Follow up question: "Then why do you have it all over your face?" (gets chocolate cake smeared all over her face)
I dunno just a bit. You're still one of the best, Rich!
How do you prepare to get a pie in the face? [pies as she tries to answer]
Q: Do you have a preferred flavor of pie? Val: Banana *Gets his with a blueberry cream pie* Val: I said banana! *Gets his with a banana cream pie* (can be dragged with multiple types and misdirects)
Valerie, everyone says you're the queen of messy comedy. Is that a reputation you're proud of or do you think people exaggerate how often you end up covered in stuff?
[trying to say something and gets covered]
Valerie, do you ever get cast in roles where you don't end up humiliated?
Valerie: Of course! I'm a versatile actor.
splat she gets hit with a pie
Host: Can you demonstrate?
embarrassed she tries...
Fan question: How many pies have you taken in your career?
Valerie: I don't keep count... 67?
she gets pied
Valerie: 68, 69
Fan: What advice would you give actors who want to avoid becoming the designated pie target?
Valerie: Well clearly you should... [pie] you should [pie] you.... should.... [happy, and pie... sadly admits ] I don't know [slime?]
- Fan mail actually being pies.
- I would personally enjoy more if she thinks it's a clean Q&A and she gets frustrated as everything leads to a messy occurrence. even getting a box from a fan that says "definitely not a pie"
- suggesting that a pie was a one time thing or a mistake, and then the mistake keeps happening.
- she finds out she was getting paid with pies. getting a few then contemplating that she still wants to get paid so reluctantly gets hit a few more times. then she got a bonus check

Ask her if she wears big mens white tube socks, and what kind of socks are most of the socks in her sock drawer
I'd like to know if you'd be willing to press your face against different cakes, and if you have any expectations for your creations? If so, what are they? Thank you.
Hey! These are all great questions. Not sure I can use them all.... More than likely, I'll have a lot of "genuine" questions first, and then the "mess setup" questions during the messy part, but I might throw in a few more genuine ones later as well.
Also, I'll probably "combine" a few questions that are similar in nature just to make things simpler. And I plan to have her doing some cool interesting posing while she answers the genuine ones, to make it more visually engaging. (She does some very cool dancer poses that don't really fit into a skit format but would be great to see!)
