Interactive Comedy

Every five minutes our MC interacts directly with the audience. You get to tell the professional comedic actors and singers what the next skit or song topic will be. Every week we improvise skits satirizing the latest movies, TV shows, books, pop culture and sports news. Many audience guests join us on stage, helping drive the comedic pathways in games like Audience Sound Effects, Human Mad Libs, Three Headed Expert, Freeze Frame (Human Slide Show) etc. Come be a part of the show!

Musical Comedy

Another signature part of our shows is the music. Every show opens and closes with a big musical number, and many musical elements are sprinkled through each performance. Fan favorites include Irish Jig, The Blues, March, Beat Box, Madrigal and of course SING IT! Our mock Broadway Musical.

CLASSES & WORKSHOPS

Every Saturday at 12pm, join us for LAUGHTER STARTS HERE, our weekly improv jam open to new and returning students. $150/month (or a few pay $800/year for unlimted access.) includes 4-5 sessions plus monthly showcases.

Every week we also host corporate groups for team building, leadership, sales and service skills training. Simply playing improv comedy games develops creativity, critical thinking, public speaking, listening, focus, self confidence, self awareness and more.
