Advance BUY Tickets online Giggle away those Holiday Blues After being away for a year, the Zenprov Comedy troupe is back to perform a sleigh-full of new games, including the Isle of Misfit Toys, where the actors take on the characteristics of neurotic toys coping with their imperfections on a journey of self-love. Audience members who wish to participate in the show will be encouraged to join the troupe on stage for select games. “This night is going to be like Christmas morning for us. There’s so much good material to play with around the holidays. From petty family dramas to mindless consumerism, it is all fair game,” said Derek Dujardin, the director of Zenprov Comedy. For more than 18 years, Zenprov Comedy has tapped into the rich source material that comes from living in area steeped spiritual seeking, UFOs, vortexes, self-help gurus, psychics, radical vegans and endless roundabouts. Their otherworldly performances are grounded in the fundamentals of rock-solid improv work, inventive satire, and their constant search for grand truths hidden within the great Cosmic Giggle. If you’ve never been to one of their live performances before, Zenprov Comedy is similar to the popular improvised TV show “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” The troupe performs a mix of fast-paced improvised scenes created in the moment based on audience suggestions as well as Chicago-style, “long-form” improv, where scenes and characters interconnect with each other. Unlike sketch or standup comedy, nothing is scripted or prepared ahead of time, so it’s never the same show twice. The super minds of Zenprov Comedy are Derek Dujardin, Shaeri Richards, Shaunn Cochran, Chris Redish, Betty Testa, Linda Roemer, Nathaniel Montgomery, and Mary Carder. Doors open at 7:00 PM. Shows are family-friendly (rated PG-13) and run approximately 90 minutes. This one-night-only performance may sell out so please purchase tickets early. |
