Of the disciplines in comedy, there will always seem to be the thickest line in the sand drawn between stand-up and improv. That line should be kicked away, but, in the indefinite mean time, seeing either side do the other can still be immensely fun. We still fondly hold a memory of Andy Peters “asking” for a suggestion of a car dealership and a planet and going with Saturn and Saturn on a show once called ImproVStandup.

So, Kaneez Surka and Ruby Karp are going to wrangle NYC comedy scene staples Jeff Wright, Sabrina Wu, and Conor Janda to let them do stand-up, then, make them take a suggestion and attempt to do scenes together. We wonder how many sweep edits or tagging out will happen (or if they’re even aware that those are options that are crucial to doing improv).

Standups Doing Improv is set to happen this Thurs. Feb. 9th at Friends & Lovers in Brooklyn at 8PM. Tickets are only $7.18 and you can (and should) get them here.
