Regular Tho is an exploration of Blackness, absurdity, and vulnerability. Using their love of TV, pop culture, and THE Culture, they create wild worlds with relatable situations and vice versa. Markis Gallashaw and Freddy Boyd have traveled the country doing comedy and joined forces in Atlanta to create the greatest duo of all time. Or just two dudes having fun doing improv.

We Should Start A Podcast is a diverse Chicago 2prov Comedy Team consisting of Karissa and Maya. The two put their unique spin on improv and storytelling by incorporating a “podcast” segment at the beginning of each set to inspire them for the rest of their scenes. With their quirky personalities, diverse character work, and physical comedy, they leave audiences with side-splitting laughter and reality checks from two “bad bitches”. As Karissa and Maya say “They do it for the gals, the gays, and the theys!” Come see them in action.

Affirmative Reaction is a Pan-Asian improv group based in Toronto. They perform 45-minute sets together every week in shows such as “All of us are Asian” and “All of our Parents are Immigrants”. Comprised of actors, sketch comedians, stand-ups, and writers, this diverse group brings a range of skills and perspectives to the stage. They have performed together in cities such as Lisbon, New York, and London. “All of Our Parents Are Immigrants” is an improv comedy show that explores the joys and challenges of growing up in an immigrant household. The show is inspired by audience members' secrets collected by the cast before the show.
