​DAYTON'S HOME FOR IMPROV COMEDY

Anniversary Musical Improv!

It's been a fantastic two years since our grand reopening, and to mark this special occasion, we're hosting a two-night extravaganza of Improvised Musicals! No need to trek to Broadway when you can experience the magic of a completely improvised musical right here in Dayton!

Come join us for an evening filled with laughter on both our opening and closing nights. We'll be taking audience suggestions and weaving an entire musical on the spot – the story, the music, the lyrics – all exclusively for you.

🚪 Doors swing open at 7 pm, and the show takes off at 8 pm
🍻 Enjoy 50% off all alcohol from 7 to 8 pm (regular prices after)

​Don't wait too long! These tickets won't be available for long.

New Level 1 - Now Enrolling!

In Level 1, students learn to be comfortable and have fun on stage using the #bbimprov approach to improv comedy. We will focus on learning to actively listen and responding in a “YES AND” manner. The listening and awareness techniques you will learn can be invaluable in your personal life, or at your work.  No experience necessary! 
​
Did we mention that your friends and family will get to watch you perform on stage at the end of your 8 week class? 


Don't wait! These slots will fill up quickly.
