800 Screaming Women at Discovery Church Show
We do lots of big shows, but 800+ cheering women at Discovery Church is a sight to see.

"Free Daps", our awesome, comedy based freestyle rap friends will be performing tonight for the first time in a long time at SAK. These guys are equal parts funny and impressive. Only $14 at 7:30pm!

Our free improv workshops have ended for this session, but here's a little glimpse. You would never know these people just met 45 minutes prior. Now they feel comfortable enough to scream "DIE" at each other in this elimination game.
We have a few level one spaces remaining for a class starting this Sunday. We also have a few spaces remaining for "Improv for Anxiety" also starting Sunday. Everything else is sold out!

Two awesome standup showcases tonight at SAK! We not only teach improv, but we teach standup as well. Students come in green, build a set over the course of 8 weeks and then perform at SAK for the public. It's a really good time and made possible by our amazing instructor A. Ali Flores ComedicActor
New classes starting on Sunday! www.sak.com/classes
Our free improv workshops are big, group events with multiple instructors and a lot of fun. The people who come are playful, supportive and adventurous. Come join us this Sunday at 1pm (almost full) and Monday at 7pm for a 90-minute experience.

Our development program, comprised of some really great talent, will be playing this Thursday at 7:30pm with a couple players from our professional cast. This is show 3 of 5. The them before their run ends!
"The Thursday Show" - All ages - only $12
Had an amazing showcase of two level one improv classes at SAK. 165 people in attendance. So cool to see the energy and support in the room. If you want to see this experience in action, we have another two-class showcase tonight at 7pm. These students are super nervous, and need all the love they can get! Tickets are only $8.
SAK does private events and workshops across Central Florida and beyond. This was for ABHE (an association of Christian post-secondary institutions). We did some custom parody songs and improv. Video shows our sound check... It's not like zero people showed up.
FOX 35 Orlando did a piece on our "Improv for Anxiety" program!
Improv for Anxiety is wellness class that uses all the fun of an improv class (but with a lighter touch) to explore how we can better relate to our anxieties. Very proud of the 150+ students who have jumped into this experience over the past 5 years! A new session begins in March and can be found at www.sak.com/anxiety
For some people, anxiety can truly have a negative impact on everyday life. But a local improv comedy theater believes the right amount of laughter can help....
Catch the second "Thursday Show" of their run! Tonight Chris Dinger and Jose Rodriguez perform with 5 players from our development program at 7:30pm. This is a fun group of top students who auditioned for this opportunity! Come support them and have a great time!
Happy Valentine's Day! We have shows at 5pm, 7pm and 9pm tonight! Want some last minute FREE tickets to our 5pm show? I have 6 pairs set aside for the first three couples that private message us through this page!
Sometimes as emcee, the players are introduced, the doors swing open, and something like this is happening: 5 dorks in the fog. We love our performers (we don't have a choice).
Today is the first show of the newly formed SAK development program. This is a talented cast and we are excited to have them on our stage tonight at 7:30pm. Tickets are only $12! Tonight's show also features SAK professional performers Emily & Richard Paul with Rob Ward hosting.
Another P. Sparkle tonight! This show goes pretty deep into Adult R-rated territory, so leave the kids with a trusted guardian and come join us at 9:30pm!
We've got some great shows within the next week beginning with Truth or Dare with P. Sparkle (adult content) on Thursday, our holiday weekend show on Sunday (all-ages content) and Wine Down on next Wednesday (adult content)!

We are so excited to announce the ensemble cast of the new SAK Development Program. Over this past year and a half, SAK has focused on making huge adjustments to our casting and mentoring programs.

Stay tuned for multiple show dates on the horizon featuring this fresh cast of characters. They will be the cast of our new show “The Thursday Show” and will be playing alongside some of your favorite weekend ensemble members. If you know any of these folks, make sure to congratulate them!! And come out to support this new endeavor starting early February on Thursday nights at 7:30pm.

Congrats to Adam for his newest album release and this writeup in the Orlando Weekly !
Reflections on the human experience often overlook the impact of the seemingly mundane interactions that comprise our days. Those little moments become even more consequential...
Such an awesome time at SAK last night! Three fun shows followed by a midnight toast! #happynewyear2022

Major Benji Hurlburt from the US Air Force was home for the holidays. Not only does he fly incredibly expensive aircraft, but he's also incredibly funny. Here's Benji riffing an old blues version of Jingle Bells.
Here's what a Les Mis style improvised song looks like from the perspective of the stage. Who knew a drunk Wine Down Wednesday audience would be so into musical theater?!
Come see us for all our added holiday shows!
SAK performer Adam Scharf just released a music video for his latest song, "Myth" from his newly released album, "This Wild Little Lifetime". Check it out!

Chris Dinger playing an "awkward boss" in a Slice of Life scene for an audience member last night. Apparently, his interpretation of that is a leather clad, shirtless, game of thrones, cape-wearing man with a horse hair whip and sunglasses. Our host Richard was disgusted enough to penalize him with the scum box to protect the little ones in the audience.
We had a great time performing for and instructing Amazon Web Services (AWS) on the valuable skills of improvisation for a regional meeting! Let us bring the same value to your team! Get in touch!
We had a great time with AdventHealth IT Department at Turkey Lake Park today for a fun outdoor show with field games!
The Halloween PSparkle Show was fun! This Thursday's November PSparkle show will feature PSparkle dressed head to toe as a turkey... Not really. But if you come dressed head to toe as a turkey, I swear to the God we'll give you free admission. HEAD TO TOE!
Thursday at 9:30pm. Adults only!
Shows tonight will be epic and super funny... And there are tickets still remaining! Chris announces the cast in this video! Foxtail Coffee also deserves a shout out.
Jay LOVES oddly shaped mics! We had a blast teaching and performing for various corporate clients recently including the Medtronic sales team, Florida Land Title Association, US Lawns, Remax / Motto Mortgage and Brinkman Accounting.
Check with us on how we can make your next event awesome! [email protected]
If you can do THIS (pair your name with an adjective and a movement), you are 100% qualified to take our free class. Here's a glimpse from the last free improv class. Tag a friend and consider joining us tomorrow at 1pm or Monday at 7pm! We have a really good time.

On the way to a private SAK performance in GA, we stopped to get a meal in Valdosta at Mo's Mediterranean Table (awesome food!). Our keys player Ryan asked to sit in with the jazz band playing outside. He was under-dressed, but fit right in.
See him play tonight in the adults-only "Truth or Dare Improv with PSparkle" at 9:30!
See you tonight for Wine Down!
As much wine as you want + a SAK show for $25. Doors open at 6:45pm. www.sak.com/wine
