Don’t Mess with Improv

Get Tickets

May 5, 2023 @ 9:00 pm 10:30 pm

Grab your best cheap bourbon whiskey and put on your best pearl-snap shirt and head to Stomping Ground for Texas-sized laughs at Don’t Mess with Improv. The May 5 show features Don’t Broken, Not Fixin’!, New News News Crew, and KaleidoScene!

The infamous, now-deceased playwright William Shakespeare once said “All the world’s a stage.” Some thought he was crazy (I mean hey, who isn’t these days!?!), but the all-star roster of humour collective Don’t Broken, Not Fixin! (oft heralded as the Citizen Kane of not-movies) took his words to heart, and now perform every one of their live shows on or near a stage, because hey, that’s life! Just sit back, relax, and let their comedy moon bring the laugh tides to your mouth shore!

Don’t Broken, Not Fixin’! features Kent Wicklander, Emily Baudot, Jason Hensel, Isaac Hines, John Logan, Joe Halbouty, Taylor Rexrode, Gefen Kusin-Kline, David Allison, and Raye Maddox.

The New News News Crew, here to bring the news to you! The New News News Crew is Dallas’s premier improv news team, performing an entirely improvised comedy news program with help from the audience. The Crew will interview audience members about recent events in their daily lives (as they say, “in order to show the news, we have to know the news”) and examine those stories from multiple angles to ensure that all sides are reported. Ultimately, it will be up to the audience to decide what the true story is.

The New News News Crew! We bring the news, so you don’t have to! The New News News Crew features Brian Graeme, Joel Jenkins, Ian Jungmann, Shenelle Peart, Natalia Trigo, and Joshua Reus, and is coached by Tristen Rouse.

KaleidoScene performs the iconic JTS Brown improv comedy format, tailor-made for this stacked 3-person cast. This unique improv format features a cacophony of sounds, inanimate objects, sensory exploration, monologues, and more. Like a kaleidoscope fragmenting and scrambling the gestalt of an image, so too do they move through the whole of the show in a surreal, dream-like fashion. KaleidoScene features Whitney Peters, Hayden, McGovern, and Natalia Trigo.

Ticket prices are $10 in advance and $12 at the door. Rated M for Mature/18+. Stomping Ground is BYOB.
