Tonight’s lineup is:

Flannel Demon:
It’s been said that demons aren’t social creatures. It’s also been said that they’re unfashionable. Despite these misconceptions and against all odds, in 2024, a stylish coterie of demons joined forces in the land of the living and spawned something no demons had ever spawned before: an improv troupe. Thus, Flannel Demon was forged, and those dapper demons will continue to grace the aboveground world with their revolutionary, comedic chaos until they eventually get dragged back down to Hell.

Chronic Pain:
Joking is a normal reaction to life past thirty. When that moment passes, you usually stop laughing. But for some people, the laughter continues long after the bit is done. When it lasts for a full longform set or more, it’s called Chronic Pain. That’s us, Chronic Pain, an improv team out of Baltimore. Instead of letting it bring us down, we bring it to the stage. We met as students at the Baltimore Improv Group and the only known cure is to see us perform.

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!
