Down to Laugh?! Basement Comedy at Highwire Improv!

Join Highwire Improv for a high-energy night of comedy with some of the city’s best comedians.

Never been to an improv show? It’s spontaneous theater, off-the-cuff laughs and a real good time! You’ll get to see some of Baltimore’s best improv comedy troupes do what they do best!

Our lineup – show starts at 7 p.m. ET:

Yardsale 69 is a high energy, creative, montage improv team with players from a variety of backgrounds. We love to get the audience involved in our shows as well as perform specialty theme-based shows.

Mouth Stuff is a legend of the Baltimore indie improv scene. They start their show off with a personal monologue inspired by the audience and fly off the handle from there. There are lots of talking animals and stories that usually end in demise.

Hannah and Kyle Try Their Best are just two journalism graduates looking to make it at their next odd job. For some reason they keep having to switch careers.

What is an improv show, exactly?

Improv is live theater created spontaneously by the performers with the inspiration of the audience. Unless noted otherwise, it’s a comedy show, made even more exciting, intriguing, and hilarious by the fact that none of it is pre-scripted! At an improv show you’ll see a wide range of creative and fascinating humans perform a highwire act by making comedy out of thin air! It can take many forms, including short competitive games, slice of life scenes, and full length sitcom or movie style performances!

A Highwire Improv show is truly a once in a lifetime performance, never done before and never to be done again!
