Walking the Wire: Improv Comedy at The Highwire Center

Tonight's lineup is:

20th Century Foxes: The cinephiles of 20th Century Foxes make movies without scripts. Audience members will propose a genre (such as western, romcom, sci-fi, noir, action, or horror) and a title; 20th Century Foxes will promptly greenlight the pitch. Then they'll improvise a complete film—featuring heroes, villains, character arcs, montages, flashbacks, and more—from opening shot to climactic end.

MELK: Melk brings you fast, absurd improv comedy. The highs will be high and the lows will be nonexistent unless we *decide* to do that, okay?

What is an improv show, exactly?

Improv is live theater created spontaneously by the performers with the inspiration of the audience. Unless noted otherwise, it’s a comedy show, made even more exciting, intriguing, and hilarious by the fact that none of it is pre-scripted! At an improv show you’ll see a wide range of creative and fascinating humans perform a highwire act by making comedy out of thin air! It can take many forms, including short competitive games, slice of life scenes, and full length sitcom or movie style performances!

A Highwire Improv show is truly a once in a lifetime performance, never done before and never to be done again!
