The UNCW Comedy Arts Performance Club stands with the black community and its victims, not only from the most recent events, but also the victims of hundreds of years of tragedy. Our club prides itself on a loving environment that we hope is welcoming to all. Improv is an art that focuses on building community and growing towards a common goal through communication and unity. It is clear what the goal should be for our community and our national community at large. As a club, as a community, as a family we will stand with you.

We are wishing everyone in our family and the community beyond health and safety, and we are looking forward to being with you again in the Fall.

To our improv family: Please see below links to help support and educate. Thank you

Hey everyone! Rachel here. You may know that I had the honor of serving as VP of the Comedy Arts Performance Club this year! One of my main responsibilities as VP was running our improv troupe, Hectic Hilarity. Unfortunately, the pandemic cut our semester short. We spent a month and a half preparing for four—you heard me, 4!—performances that were supposed to take place in March and April: the 2nd Annual Written/Unwritten event with the Writer's Association, the spring CABA, a Dub Awards performance video, and our 2nd Annual April Fool's Improv-Palooza. I'm so proud of each and every member of the troupe for the hard work they put into this semester despite the circumstances. I am sad to graduate and leave them behind, but know that they will do amazing things in the future!

Without further ado, may I have a virtual round of applause for the 2019-2020 UNCW Improv Troupe! 👏👏👏

Thanks to the Comedy Arts Performance Club for a great four years! ❤️

Improvisers, it breaks my heart that we cannot meet in person for the rest of the semester. However, just because we’re social distancing doesn’t mean the fun has to stop! Follow along on our Instagram stories (@uncwimprov) for some digital rounds of Potpourri, and send in any virtual game requests you have! ❤️

03/03/2020

Tomorrow is the big day: Hectic Hilarity’s spring audition day! Swing by Leutze 104 at 5 if you’re interested in taking your improv career to the next level. If you’re nervous, don’t be! The troupe is a lot of fun and gives you the opportunity to perform in front of audiences at various events.

“Hey everyone. It’s me, Finn from Star Wars. You probably know all about my adventures in the stars, but did you know that I also have a passion for improv comedy? Chewbacca and I started an improv club for space and it’s going really well. Kylo Ren even showed up and didn’t start a fight once! I guess it’s true that improv brings people together. If you want to join an earth improv club, come to the UNCW Improv meeting tonight at 6 in Leutze 104. See you then!”

We’ve got another heap of fun at tonight’s meeting! We’ll play games, laugh a lot, and maybe even enter a world of pure imagination.
ALSO, for our competitive improvisers, we will be having spring troupe auditions very soon! We have a very limited number of spots available, but that shouldn’t discourage you from trying out! More info coming soon...

Happy Holidays improvisers!
Our club member Matthew has another acting opportunity. He needs actors to be extras in his film about evil politician Ghetsis.

Logline: “Ghetsis is a charismatic but psychotic political figurehead for Team Plasma. What no one knows though is that he intends to use people’s blind faith in “good politics” to take over the world. He’s psychotic and the film varies from perspectives, starting at Ghetsis’ rise to power to his son, the appointed King, finding someone who truly loves him and he comes to see through his fathers rise and must try and destroy the corrupt political organization that he created.”

What’s needed: “Actors, anyone and everyone.”

What will be happening: “Ghetsis gives a political speech to a rally of people. Looking for people to be apart of the group as well as people to play more substantial roles (the Seven Sages, Grunts, etc).”

Incentive: “Strong Portfolio Builder”

Reach out to @theserenoshow on Instagram if interested, and see you all in the spring!
