Pitch Slapped w/ Nicole Gellman

Each month, a real Hollywood writer brings their passion project to our stage, only to get PITCH SLAPPED.

Real pitches, real professionals. Our show begins with a screenwriter sharing their passion with our improv executive, who greenlights their movie! But in Hollywood, there's always a twist. To justify his job, our exec makes some key changes to the story with the help of the audience, his snot-nosed kids, and whatever other characters happen to wander by. Our talented improvisers then show you a trailer for the movie, then 30 minutes of the best scenes from the 90 min fictional movie. It's like watching a movie, without all the boring parts!

Each writer brings their own brilliance to our stage, and our improvisers go in completely blind-- the writer doesn't know what will change, and the improv team hasn't heard the pitch. Come for the satire, stay for the chaos!

Nicole Gellman is a Canadian transplant to the Los Angeles film industry, and doesn’t know why she continues to stay in America in 2026!!
It seems like every time she tries to leave, she gets drawn back in with opportunities from companies like Disney, Amazon, Lionsgate and The Academy itself! Capitalism, right? She’s looking forward to sharing her film with the team, and the wonderful feedback that will leave her feeling Pitch Slapped.
