We like to perform improv. When we're not doing that we read books about improv or watch some improv comedy on tv or at a cafe. Late at night, we meet friends at local diners to talk about improv and enjoy our delicious improvised sandwiches. Improv is how we live, eat, inhale, exhale, extrude, delude, pose nude, and shit, dude, we love improv. There is nothing else. Nothing.
Books
Truth In Comedy, Bowling for Dummies, Strikes, Spares, and Gutterballs: The Guide to Zen Bowling, Improvise, Improvisation for the Theater, The Old Testament (Joshua to Malachi), Words of Ras Tafari, Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book for All and None, The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living, Vedas, and the Hadith.

About me: I was born some time ago from the lusty desires of a some lost Newark High School alumni. I have so far been raised, ignored, beaten, nurtured, loved, and now flourished in that order. Currently I am working on putting on and performing improv shows right here in my home town. The main stage for my performances are at Chapel Street Play House but I also do shows in other areas in Delaware.

Our 'Fan of the Week' is Wes. He's a pretty awesome groupie, attending every show and sometimes practices. Granted, it's mostly because Emily makes him, but also it is partly because he's very cool. He's cute, too.

Who I'd like to meet: Guys, girls, and all those in-between that like to see a bunch of people on a stage create scenes from the tops of their heads and make laughter with just a one word suggestion and a tiny little set of balls. Others include people such as Jigglin' Bob, Ganesha, and Highway Pirates. Also not to mention the good boys and girls of the Make A Wish Foundation (check them out they have a heart of gold http://www.wish.org/).
We are very excited to give you a copy of our Sixth Comedy Pick. Please Click Here and tell us what you think about this video...we want to know. Thanks, Best of Comedy
From friend of Alternet to another — thanks for adding me. ¶ People hear only what they want, so facts alone won't wake them; they need inspiration too. ¶ This world's evils have a common root: Bullies, liars, thieves, & murderers — whether in market, government, or elsewhere — believe we're all separate, motivated only by self-interest, by greed & fear. They want us to share that belief; they use it to justify themselves and to discourage us from uniting. They use it to shape the world's political & economic systems that perpetuate war & poverty. Their real power comes not so much from secret conspiracies as from propaganda that we all hear every day and that we hardly notice, implicit in the background assumptions of television & newspapers. ¶ But you & I have found a better purpose inside ourselves & our friends. It's in everyone, if we can just wake them; we're all one flesh & blood. Let's spread that vision, for until we do our other advances will be minor & temporary. ¶ The outcome of the ideological struggle is not yet determined, so no one can afford to be just a spectator. Join the movement, if you haven't already: get involved in whatever way feels right for you. Question authority. Keep fighting, loving, hoping, singing. Hand in hand, we may still be able to heal this world. ¶ I'm impressed with ideas of Lakoff & Waldman about *how* to spread the vision, so I'm trying to promote their ideas via comments like this one and the essay on my MySpace page. I'm not selling anything. ¶ The flag of the USA, once a symbol of democracy and freedom, has now come to stand for plutocracy, consumerism, and imperialism. Here in the USA, small flags are being sold in grocery stores, in anticipation of July 4. I bought one, because I'm considering wearing it upside down ¶ Peace, love, hope, and revolution — Eric
Sorry guys, I'm not coming to the show because I've got to start saving for a guitar and a ukulele and a bunch of other musical equipment I need like amps. I'm a solo musician and it's kind of odd that all I have is a bass.
Also, I am from Nigeria and my uncle is sending me a million dollars that he got from Microsoft for answering a survey about how they're going to start charging you a penny for every email you send. If you deposit the money for me, I'll give you half in the form of discount Cialis and Russian mp3 downloads.
Slow & low, that is the tempo. We were accepted to the Dirty South Improv Fest down in NC this Feb! We're all very excited! You guys should check out our Christmas show on the 16th. It's gonna be cheesy good.

That was the fucking funniest comment ever. "We were honored to splash your vagina.' Hot damn.
Any time, really. I appreciate you boys coming to support us. I'll be at your next show for sure, but last I heard it ins't until February? How lame is that?
My acting background has been scattered minor roles, usually with about one line. However this year I am playing Jason in Lord What Fools. I don't have a lot of improv experience but I enjoy it a lot
