With roots in ImprovBoston and Florida Studio Theatre and performances across North and South America, Europe, and Asia, Big Bang brings global experience, explosive creativity, and infectious fun to every stage.

9:30pm - Featured Team:
  • Bad Magicians (Brooklyn, NY)

With the audience joining in as the good and bad voices in our heads, What If celebrates the flaws, fabulosity and funniness that we all have inside of us.

9:30pm - Featured Team:
  • Hell Yeah! (New York, NY)
    Hell Yeah! creates high-energy, fully improvised musicals. With a blank stage, a piano, and a burning desire to sing about our feelings, we build an entire narrative based on a simple audience suggestion. The product is a hilarious, touching show that’s never been seen before, and will never be seen again.
