Rob, The Improviser in
New York |
78th Street Theatre Lab |
|
|
Time: 7:00pm.
Admission: $10.
Address: 236 West 78th Street, just East of Broadway.
Venue phone: 212-353-7716.
I’ll be one of 6 improvisers at The Sunday Night Improv Jam, a “unique” (Time Out New York), “wonderful” (Backstage), “hilarious” (Newark Star-Ledger) comedy jam session, where we perform improvised mini-plays, songs made up on the spot, and games a la ‘Whose Line’.
The “Jam”, which began in 1992, mixes and matches experienced improvisers from a wide variety of successful New York City improv groups. The fluctuating cast members are all alumni of — or current performers at — such groups as Chicago City Limits, First Amendment, Johnny Lunchpail, The Chainsaw Boys, Ka-Baam!, Shoot The Messenger, and The Improvoholics.
Stop by for the most fun you can have in public.
