Not to be confused with the British sketch series of the same name, this V. I. P. Was created for Dropout streaming and is hosted by Vic Michaelis. Each episode a new comedian is given a blind complete makeover, after which they must make up a new personality on the spot and perform and interview. Including anything from otherworldly aliens to a struggling health specialist, the interviews can get pretty wilds and are always a good time watching these improvisational experts do their thing. Vic does a good job as the host, playing things quite straight to let the guests shine with goofiness. Obviously some episodes land more than others, but overall I had fun, if you already have dropout would recommend.

Ups and Downs

Having only seen the first two episodes so far, it's certainly a mixed bag...the Host is perfect, her dead pan responses and clever wit shine but sadly it not always enough. The first episode is Epic, the guest was spot on, the Euro pop process was extremely well done but unfortunately the second episode, "Denzel" fell flat. Every attempt at humor was lame.... Even the character's name was a poor choice. I hope that going forward they have found sharp and talented comics like the first episode. It's understandable that I have never heard of the guest star of the second episode. Going forward I wouldn't expect much buzz around this performance. That said, the host and first star were hilarious and I can't wait for episode 3.
