Extra Credit: The Monthly Student Improv Jam & Showcase

February 12 @ 7:00 pm - 9:45 pm

February 12 @ 7:00 pm 9:45 pm

Sharpen your improv skills, support your peers, and get a chance to jump onstage with the vets in this FREE monthly event!

Class is in session and the night is all about playing off-book! Extra Credit is a free community event designed specifically for improvisers to bridge the gap between the classroom and the stage.

Join us for a FREE improv jam, student indie team sets, and a student lottery where you can have the chance to jump onstage with seasoned improv veterans. Whether you’re an experienced performer or brand?new to improv, this community event is a supportive, low?pressure way to play and perform.

We’ve packed the evening with three “lessons” in comedy:

  • The Improv Jam: Kick things off by getting on stage! This is a low-pressure, high-fun opportunity for students of all levels to hop into scenes and get more reps.
  • The Indie Showcase: We’ll feature sets from two local independent improv groups.
  • The Student Spotlight Set: This is the headlining set! A team of seasoned improv veterans will take the stage, but they aren’t playing alone. We’re pulling names from a hat, and willing students will be chosen to join the veterans on stage to play. It’s your chance to share the spotlight with the pros!

Registration is optional and just helps us plan—you’re always welcome to drop in and play! And the show portion (beginning at 8:45) is free and doesn’t require a ticket to attend.

TEAMS FEATURED IN THE FEBRUARY 16 SHOW: 
No one normal gets into heavy metal. Meet Metal Dad Metal Daughter, an improv duo bonded by a shared love of heavy riffs and wildly unhinged life backstories. Watch them turn moshpit lore into unpredictable, off-the-rails improv. Featuring Dustin Dykes and Avy Taylor.

OBJECTively Funny brings your sentimental, niche, or obscure items to life using the iconic Harold format. Starting from an audience suggestion, the team launches into a fast, playful opening, rapid-fire scenes, wordplay, and maybe even a spontaneous song. Then spins out three seemingly unrelated stories. Those threads return, deepen, and collide in hilarious and often surprising conclusions. It’s a thrilling blend of structure and pure improv magic, where chemistry and quick wit guarantee a one-of-a-kind, laugh-out-loud experience. OBJECTively funny features Rhod Ramsey, Lyndsay Long, Kalyn Clark, Robert Patton, Tanner Hudson, and Michael Rozum.

The Extra Credit Monthly Student Jam & Showcase happens every second Thursday from 7-9:45 PM and is BYOB. Must be 18 or older. All participants are expected to follow the Stomping Ground Student Handbook; find our current policies and FAQs here.
