Today we went up on stage in couples pretending to be Charles and Lady Di. We had to speak in a posh voice, and say a rhyming love poem.
After we'd all had a go Philippe got each couple to get into an erotic kama sutra-like position. He referenced the erotic devil statues you find at some Catholic churches.
And in these poses we said our poems again. The combination of beautiful texts with vulgar images was really funny.
We all got up to view a few couples at a time up close, and we voted for the winning couple each time. Charles and I were chosen to go to the next round...in which Philippe got us to say our poems again, in our positions (Charles and I were in 69), whilst making the sounds of an orgasm. Charles and I took it a little further and acted out doing the sexual act to each other, and spoke 'dirty' to each other whilst doing it. Okay, we took it a lot further! Then finally we said the 'Greetings' text that we've all learnt whilst having an orgasm. And then at the end, we stopped, looked at the audience, and laughed our heads off.
"Bouffons, they can only laugh."

A note about finding a voice: Philippe led Lee to say some text in his normal voice, then to say it with a lisp, then say it fast with a lisp, and then say it loud and fast with a lisp. And voila! We have a voice.

Then we imitated 'top level vulgar' people. We discussed the US army guys that took photos of sexual torture in Iraq, a drug thug in England who won the lottery and blew it all on drugs and parties, and slimy door-to-door salesmen. These were the kind of people we were trying to mock.
"You don't have to be true-true. If you have fun to destroy the bastard it's good too."
"He needs to be the best vulgar guy you never met in your life."
"They have a special laugh."
I tried a few times with different sketches of vulgar bastards, but was too heavy and didn't have any fun. And you have to have fun or else "we can think you are racist if you don't have fun."
~
"It's delectable to come and blaspheme what the children of God believe."
"The Bouffon, the come to say the truth of something."
"When we laugh, it could be the freedom of the devil."
"They have to know the secret of the universe...and they fight all the people that say Darwin is wrong."
