A huge and wonderful THANK YOU to everyone that came out for improv tonight! What a great mix of regulars with a few new faces, and everyone was so supportive of each other and willing to try some things that I know was pushing some folks out of their comfort zones. The giant laughs is the evidence of the fun that everyone was having. Exactly what improv comedy should be! Fun fun fun 🤩…and of course, a heartfelt thanks to Johnny and Jessa at UC Makerspace for their kindness and generosity as our amazing hosts!

What would make a night of comedy improv even better?

How about a delicious nacho bar?

Our wonderful friends at UC Makerspace are planning just that for this Sunday!!!

If you’ve ever wanted to try your hand at some of those hilarious Whose Line is it Anyway improv games, here’s your chance to come give them a try… and chow down on some nachos while you’re at it.

Laughter and nachos… sounds like a perfect Sunday evening to me 😝

6-8 at UC Makerspace.
No improv experience needed.
Absolutely FREE… but if you’re able, feel free to donate a couple of bucks to UC Makerspace to help them in their amazing mission for the Upper Cumberland.

Put it in your calendar so you don’t forget, and we’ll see y’all on Sunday.

Here is a good example of the style of show I’d like to see us do here in Cookeville. The first half is all short form games, and the second half is long form.

These guys are great at the short form games, and at getting the audience participation, which makes for a better show.

Their long form, at least in this video, needs a little work, imho. If you were at our last meet up, we talked about the “game of the scene.” That just means the funny part. Rather than finding that game, playing it, heightening it, and keeping things moving, they wander a little bit and keep relying on their short form techniques to keep trying to lay a little humor into the long form.

That said, it’s a very funny improv video, but don’t take too much from the long form portion, cuz we’re going to try doing it a little different, and hopefully better.
