ARE YOUR IMPROV SHOWS BLUE?

No. Most of our shows are improvised, which is to say made up on the spot, using information from the audience as a jumping-off point. We focus mainly on story, narrative, technical game-playing, and comedy. ‘Blue’ humor is easy, and we take our improv too seriously to take the easy way out. Occasionally, audience members shout out off-color suggestions, but if we take them, we take it as a challenge to use the suggestion in a creative manner.
