Featuring: TFA, Beep Vs. The Sea

 

About the Comics

Jive Turkey

Jive Turkey is one of DC's oldest independent long-form improv troupes, and since 2008 has been a unique blend of comedy spices blended together to create a mouthwatering taste for the senses. Though some might say we are just two idiots who get together and get our fast-paced brand of smart improv on when we're not slaving away at the heels of our oppressive DC jobs for the MAN and to escape our sad little lives. That first thing sounds better though. Sounds like a gourmet pizza. Yeah a pizza, let’s go with that. With nationwide performances, numerous festivals and over 25 comedy years between them Jive Turkey stars Joe Randazzo (Sistine Robot, Madeline) and Chris Ulrich (Nox).

DC Improv

Tags For Ages, The Female Accent, Tarantula’s Funny Apparel… TFA is whatever you want us to be! That’s right, you’ll help us figure out what our name means and we’ll use it to create a one-of-a-kind show! TFA… it could mean anything. Cast: Adam Fishbein, David Lapkoff, John Carroll, Alex Kazanas

DC Improv

Two unlikely friends — a pirate and a robot — return, this time joined by a wild card. Beep vs. the Sea brings tension, chaos, and surprising heart to the stage. Give us a word, and we’ll create an improvised world that’s equal parts joyful, unhinged, and absurd. Things may get weird. That’s the point. Cast: Paul Hitlin, Sabrina Shahmir, with special guest Colin McIntyre
