A DIFFERENT KIND OF LIVE COMEDY

IT'S
IMPROV.
ISH.

Mostly improvised. Deliberately unpredictable. One 90-minute live comedy experience with scripted surprises, digital roulette and an AI cast member who's convinced it's in charge.

THE WHEEL HAS SPOKEN. ✦
WELCOME TO THE UNEXPECTED

We rehearse the show.
Not necessarily what happens.

Improv-Ish isn't a string of improv exercises. It's a complete night of comedy built from real improvisation, tightly rehearsed theatrical moments, ridiculous commercials, original characters, music and audience suggestions. One small joke may travel the whole night and return in the finale.

NOT YOUR AVERAGE NIGHT OUT

One show. Lots of ways
to surprise you.

✳

Made Up Tonight

Real scenes, unexpected characters and moments created from the cast and your suggestions.

▤

Scripted Surprises

Sketches, commercials, callbacks and rehearsed bits that can turn in any direction.

◉

The Roulette

Games, prompts and sometimes the time limit are selected live on a spinning digital wheel.

✦

Meet ISH

Our artificial sixth cast member brings a big personality and extremely questionable judgment.

♫

A Show With a Soundtrack

Music and sound effects change the pace, the emotional temperature, and sometimes the scene.

Everything May Return

The line you forgot about from minute six might be the most important joke of minute eighty.

GAME ROULETTE

Spin into trouble.

At select moments, the wheel decides the game. Then a second wheel may choose the scene, and a third decides how long the performers have to survive it. Even the cast doesn't always know what's next.

MEET ISH
DIGITAL CAST MEMBER · SELF-APPOINTED SUPERVISOR

Artificial intelligence.
Questionable judgment.

ISH was created to bring order, intelligence and professionalism to Improv-Ish. Instead, it developed opinions. It introduces roulette challenges, comments on the performers and regularly insists it's the only qualified intelligence in the room.

“I have reviewed the cast. I remain cautiously optimistic about myself.” — ISH

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE CHAOS

Five humans.
Unlimited bad ideas.

Our founding company is being assembled. Great comedy comes from performers who listen, take chances and make each other look ridiculous in the best possible way.
