improv show

The improvised comedy and sharply pointed style of both Paul F. Tompkins and Marc Evan Jackson only come together every so often (maybe just a tad more often than this week’s Great Conjunction), but it really is special when it does happen.

That time is coming around once again, virtually because of the ongoing pandemic of course, as their Two Gentleman Improv Show will be happening this Sun. Dec. 27th at 4PM PT/7PM ET as a somewhat belated holiday gift (if you’re getting presents shipped, odds are you’ll be getting something on that day).

Per usual, Tompkins and Jackson are bringing their improv powers together for the wonderful cause that is the Detroit Creativity Project, an org dedicated to giving access to improv for underserved students in Detroit’s public schools.

Tickets for this holiday improv evening are $12.50 and you can (and very much should) get them here. If you’re looking for a last minute gift for a comedy fan in your life, this is probably a solid bet, FYI.

The latest set of guests for Wild Horses (that’s the fantastic improv team of Stephanie Allynne, Mary Holland, Lauren Lapkus, and Erin Whitehead) are pretty damn great.

You should be going to the show whether it’s at UCB or Largo anyway, but they do have Throwing Shade’s Erin Gibson and Bryan Safi on Wednesday, September 13th and the living comedy legend himself, Conan O’Brien on Thursday, October 5th.

Tickets are $30 and you can (and should) get them here and/or here respectively.
