Three Legged Race - Improv Comedy!

About Me

We do short form improvisational comedy. If you’ve never seen a short form improv show before, it works like this... everything is made up on the spot. We do a series of scenes based off of audience suggestion and each scene has some sort of spin or challenge to it. It’s a high energy comedy show that is guaranteed to be a good time.

My Interests

Other than improv? We live and breathe improv. Who has time for anything else? Although we do like a nice bottle of wine every now and then...maybe a quiet walk on the beach. Oh, and zombie hunting, but that goes without saying.

I'd like to meet:

Each and every one of you. Come see the show. There will be comedy. There will be laughter. There will be about three hours you don't remember. And then, in the morning, there will be waffles. Mmmmm, waffles.

Animal Prison

Music:

We really want our own theme music. Something snappy with a good beat. Like the A-team.

Movies:

Please, yes. We'd love to do some movies. Currently we're working on "101 ways to get in a bar fight." It's still in the planning stage but the name says it all.

Television:

Can a group of improvisers share a house in Toledo and still remain friends? Sounds like a hit to me. Let's film it.

Books:

Anything by Dr. Seuss and Dr. Phil is a must have.

Heroes:

MacGyver...that man improvised his ass off!
