Battle of the Genres

Prepare for Battle of the Genres, a 60-minute improvised comedy show. In the show, our cast each takes audience-suggested genres and weaves them into a single performance — with each genre battling for control of the show as the night unfolds. The result is fast, playful, and highly audience-driven, with big shifts in tone, style, and storytelling.

Laughed So Hard I Cried

Well I have seen this show 3 times ( the beauty of improv being that its a new show every time) and been mesmerized each time. Its an absolute masterclass in improv with the performers each weaving their genres in to a (usually) cohesive and delightful story. Long form improv at its finest.

See It Again

The commitment that all the improvisers brought to their genres was brilliant, and it was so cool to see how certain small themes would start to flow, and build upon, each other. You truly are watching a battle of the genres, and it is such a creative, hilarious, and interesting take on long form improv. The flow to the show is such a gift to watch, and everyone played together in such connected and playful and hilarious ways. Would definitely recommend this show!

Very clever improv show. Five talented actors each playing out a different genre tossed out by the crowd. It was fun to watch the show evolve.
