Love is in the air! No, wait. It must be jelly because jam don't smell like that! Are we doing it right? Our Improv Jam is a chance for folks at any level of experience to improvise together and put on a show, or to just come watch a show! Think of it as a stand-up open mic, but for improvisers! It's a PERFECT date night activity to show your partner what a hilarious, quick-witted person you actually are!
You do NOT need a date to participate in the jam! It's just a cute, themed way to name the jam!
Here is how our Improv Jam works:
- Anyone who wants to participate submits their name.
- The host gives a brief explanation of what improv is and lays out the ground rules of the Jam.
- We do a quick warm-up as a group.
- We play a few short-form improv games where we explain the rules of the games and then draw random names to play the games.
- Time permitting, we run a few improvised long-form two-person scenes, with the host randomly selecting two names from the jar for each scene. We will provide scenarios for the scene so you're not flying blind. Each scene is about 2 minutes long.
- Time permitting, we do a set (or multiple, depending on the number of participants) consisting of a montage of scenes.
- The entire Jam will last about sixty to ninety minutes, depending on the number of participants.
We mean it when we say that performers at any level of experience are invited to participate! This is a great opportunity to get to know your partner better in a fun way, to get familiar with our community, and to meet new people! Sign up to take part in the Jam or to just watch!
