Friday night of XL Fest 2025 starts with two amazing groups: NU & Improv'd and Drama Queens! (Please note: This show is on Friday, May 15, not May 16.)
NU & Improv’d is an 11 member improv troupe based in Boston, Mass! Sometimes we make people laugh. Always we make people smile. Whether it’s during the show, or when they get to leave. Either way, we humbly hold the title as “self-proclaimed hottest improv troupe,” a title graciously bestowed upon us by totallyrealawards.net. It has been an honor. Sometimes heroes don’t wear capes. Sometimes they do though. But always, they do improv. Did we mention Batman is in our troupe? Yeah lol it’s whatever. But you should def watch Batman AND NU & Improv’d perform alongside other heroic troupes at XL Fest 2026!
Drama Queens is a touring improv ensemble from Queen City Comedy, featuring performers drawn from Di**le Drama Repertory, Pillow Talk Improv, and Neighborhood Improv. Known for bold emotional choices, grounded relationships, and big-energy play, Drama Queens blend sharp instincts with theatrical depth to create scenes that are honest, connected, and fiercely fun. Their work celebrates intimacy, vulnerability, and the power of strong ensemble chemistry—delivering improv that’s both playful and deeply human.
