With a combined 30 years of improv experience between them, SPIN CYCLE’S Jodi Cohen, Bridget Buell, Sue Hunter and Andrew Rohn offer high-energy, improv comedy that is fun, smart, musical and dazzling.
Ranging in age and hairstyles, the folks of SPIN CYCLE all have serious, formal training in improv, as well as informal training in silliness.
SPIN CYCLE members count decades of collective years studying and performing improv theater. We’ve worked with Joan Cusack, Chris Farley, Bonnie Hunt, and lots of other people who eventually became way more famous than we are.

"This sparky troupe shoots for whimsy by mixing audience-submitted ideas and dialogue into its mostly inoffensive improv exercises." - The Onion
Members
Jodi Cohen is an Ark Improv alumni. She has a ’posse’ of characters up her sleeves, can sing .. and is a fearless physical performer, able to leap tall buildings at a single bound.
Bridget Buell looks tame on the outside, but don’t let that fool you. She’s a wild card and is one of the best gibberish speakers in the western hemisphere. As a pop culture fan, Bridget can channel and insert the spirit of anyone from Duchess Fergie to Madonna into any scene.
Sue Hunter is sly, slippery, docile and ferocious—and that’s when she’s sleeping! Sue is a moofy-goofy gal with a gigantic repertoire of mischief that she dips into whenever possible. Sue’s humor zings and zaps when you least expect it. In a former life Sue was scared of improv. And then she got onstage…
Andrew Rohn is a multi-instrumentalist and composer who may break into a Barry Gibb falsetto without warning. As Spin Cycle’s musical director, Andrew brings thousands of melodies, musical styles and disco dance moves to the stage.
About me: Short form improv in the style of Whose Line is it Anyways? from Madison, Wisconsin.
In another place and time, we'd be labeled oddballs, mavericks and malcontents. Well, they could still say that about us, but at least we're using our creative powers for good instead of evil.
Now we will hypnotize you with this cool slide show...look into the picture...yes...you're feeling sleepy...you will come to our show...
Hi improvisory people! We Buffali are excited to announce our first-ever FULL BAND SHOW. High Noon, next Thursday, 11/1 at 9pm - we play first! We're part of a whole fun outer space night involving Star Wars Trivia, Chad Vader, improv comedy and Droids Attack. We're fundraising for FoRCE, a group promoting the arts in Madison. And, new mp3s are up on our website! Heck yes.
I just wondered what Jodi could teach me in real-time, I'm old now and the synapses are firing a bit slower these days. I also wondered when and where you're performing next.
Ah, thank you so much, I look forward to more spaghetti. -Charlie
