We gots reviews! (which, like, almost never happens for improv shows)
Fully Fringed says: (referring to callbacks to earlier scenes) “…It’s these moments of comedic brilliance that make this show worth seeing, regardless of who the storyteller is for the evening.”
Our fist guest Allan Girod says: “These performers are top shelf! They don’t do short throw away skits, they weave longer form stories taken from experiences shared by audience and the guest, with an insane number of big laugh gags all the way through. (My face was sore, I had to stop laughing.)”
The Visitorium says: “Brad, Cari and Al got intuitive timing like nobodies business … Much fun for everyone”

Here’s a video clip from Sunday of the first minute of our show!
Each show, the Crushians; AL, Brad and Cari, will create stories and scenes inspired by the improvised monologues of a guest performer. Borrowing from formats like Armando (Chicago Improv), Asssscat (UCB) and The Jam (Montreal Improv) and based on audience suggestions, watch as we conjure entire worlds and construct narratives in an environment where anything is possible. Guest performer list online. Smart, silly, seriously funny.
