What is Improv Comedy?

Improv is short for "improvisation", meaning everything you see performed in our shows is made up on the spot. Our cast has no script, our pianist has no sheet music, and our tech has no cues given ahead of time.

All the lighting, dialogue, stage direction, songs, and plot are completely made up, live, and in the moment, based on suggestions our audience gives us at the start of the show.
