Musical Improv at Trip Tease

My friends are on an awesome musical improv team called "Maestro, If You Please!" and they are having a free show tonight at TRiP. TRiP has Trip Tease Wednesdays and has a 5-star rating on Yelp. What more can you desire from improv sharing a stage with a pole? A drink, perhaps, and nothing else.

Freedom Snatch at iO - Week 32

Funny. Free. iO. 11pm.

Freedom Snatch at iO - Week 31

Tonight marks the 31st week of Freedom Snatch's reign at the iO West Cage Match - can they defend their title?

Free show at 11pm on the iO West Mainstage, 6366 Hollywood Blvd. They put on a great show. Help them win! Or go vote for the other guy, to be contrary. My guess is that you will find yourself unable to after you see Freedom Snatch perform.

What's better than free improv? Free musical improv!

One of my favorite people is in the musical improv group "Maestro, If You Please!" and they have a free show tomorrow night at Improv Olympic. I'm excited to see them perform.

"'Maestro, If You Please!' is a completely IMPROVISED MUSICAL based on a title suggested by the audience. Every show is complete with improvised themed music and dance numbers. Cast includes: Laura Barbera, Brandon Barrick, Jason Beeber, George Caleodis, Abhaya Hess, Julie Inmon, and Faith Willman. With Musical Direction by Alex Burke and Andrew Melton. Coached by Nyima Funk."

Saturday March 21st at 8pm

ASSSSCAT at UCB

Sorry for the shouting, but that's how they refer to themselves.

ASSSSCAT is an improv show that moved from New York Upright Citizens Brigade to LA and headlines at UCB on Saturday nights. Luckily for us, they do a free show every Sunday at 7:30 pm. Looking forward to checking this one out, as it was recommended by someone I dig. (Please make sure to check the UCB calendar, as it looks like there are some Sundays they aren't booked.)

Upright Citizen's Brigade Theatre is located at 5919 Franklin Ave, Hollywood, 90028.

Free Improv that is actually Awesome

Improv Olympic (aka iO West because the International Olympic Committee threatened to sue) hosts an Improv Cage Match every Thursday night at 11pm, and it's free.

The team Freedom Snatch has won 27 weeks in a row. I was lucky enough to see them perform in February, and it was honestly one of the best improv shows I've ever seen. They are fast, witty, and ridiculously funny. I highly recommend them. This Thursday they are being challenged by Stolemite.

iO is at 6366 Hollywood Blvd, between Ivar and Cahuenga. Valet is $4 with validation, or you can find street parking on Vine or Sunset moderately easily.
