Busy Bar
What happens when two guys who have never met before, meet in a bar, that's busy? Find out with the two man show, Busy Bar. And it's only two people, there won't be a third person who shows up, that would be crazy.
The Interchange Players
The Interchange Players give a flavor of our favorite improv for you to sample.

Father Figures and Swiftprov

Father Figures
Founded in 2018, Father Figures is an improv team comprised of Tony Berg, Fred Dakin, Joe Francisco, Tom Stadler, and Scott Vollmer. As reigning champions of The Duel improv tournament, the Father Figures have decided to come out of retirement for a special “family reunion.” They’ll don their best sweaters for a night of big laughs, questionable paternal instincts, and unforgettable memories. Come for the dad jokes. Stay for the chaos.
Swiftprov
