Saturday, March 7, 7 pm Sandler Family Campus
It’s kind of funny (pun intended) how many people are surprised to learn that for the past 10 plus years, I have been performing improv and sketch comedy. It’s been a wonderful journey that’s also given me the opportunity to produce shows and teach comedy to up and coming improvisors.
Well, if you like good surprises, I have great one for you because a group of my very funny friends and I will perform a Whose Line Is It Anyway-style improv show at the Simon Family JCC on the Sandler Family Campus. These improvisors are some of the best comedians in the 757 region, many of whom have performed up and down the east coast.
If you’ve ever watched Whose Line, you know the magic lies in its spontaneity. The comedians step onstage with nothing but their quick thinking, years of comedic experience, and a handful of audience suggestions. From outrageous scenes to absurd character improvisations, every moment is created in real time. There are no scripts, no do-overs, and absolutely no safety net—just pure, unfiltered comedy.
What makes our show truly special is the connection with the audience, whose ideas fuel the comedy, and who become part of the experience as the cast transforms simple prompts into laugh-out-loud moments. Whether it’s a surprising song, a perfectly timed punchline, or a physical gag that comes out of nowhere, the energy in the room is electric.
We’ll deliver feel-good entertainment that’s smart, silly, and endlessly rewatchable, just in time for the wackiness of Purim. You’ll laugh until your face hurts, marvel at the performers’ creativity, and leave quoting jokes that were invented right in front of you.
Don’t miss your chance to experience one of the funniest shows this season. Grab your tickets, bring your best suggestions, and prepare for a night where everything’s made up—and the laughter absolutely counts.
