Thursday 7pm Show

CRUD, Rapid Fire, and 11 Non-Blondes

CRUD (Hamtramk, MI) There is a main location that we get for a suggestion and that becomes the main location we go back to after a seen is swept. We can do tag outs and go to a sub location within the main location as different characters.

Rapid Fire (Grand Rapids, MI) The Award-Winning Improv Comedy group Rapid Fire is a whimsy-forward celebration of comedy. Their flagship FictionTown is the most innovative, hilarious, and side-splitting show that isn't like anything you've seen around. They have no idea what will happen, and couldn’t be happier to be doing it. 

11 Non-Blondes (Ann Arbor, MI) 11 Non-Blondes is the Friday night house team at hear.say brewing + theater in Ann Arbor, bringing high-energy improv in short-, mid-, and long-form styles. With zany characters, big laughs, and unpredictable moments, every show is a wild ride, but one thing’s for sure: you’ll never see a blonde on stage! Cast includes: Jess Black, Sean Boylan, Neil Christy, Beth Dutridge-Corp, JT Godfrey, Michael Hovitch, Sam Krowchenko, Lillian Li, Ian McCain, Brian Poploskie, and Pete Williams

Thursday 9pm Show

The Latchkey Kids, Super Special, Landry & Summers, and Steamed Hams

Latchkey Kids (Pittsburgh, PA) Our regular show features us improvising from inspiration taken from old found footage video supplied by the show’s producer. For festival sets we generally do a long-form montage. 

Super Special (Traverse City, MI) We are a group that does a WeirDass format. It is a fast-paced group of scenes that mixes real emotions with large characters. We tend make bold decisions and follow the funny to make a relatable show. 

Landry & Summers (Chicago, IL) Shaun Landry and Hans Summers—perform character‑driven improvised scenes shaped by decades of performing together from Chicago, SF, LA to international stages. They love improv as much as they love each other.
