Nice Show!

At "Nice Show!" John Dardenne improvises with his funniest friends. We're talking house teams, indie teams, special guests, & literal kids.

JOHN DARDENNE improvises with house teams, improv rockstars, and TWO ACTUAL KIDS on the last Friday of the month!!!!

Special guests 3/27/26:

THE BOZOS (Will Hines, Sarah Claspell, Jim Woods) The leadership team (and flagship group) at WGIS (World’s Greatest Improv School)--aka the masters/the knuckleheads/The Bozos--are a supergroup of improv royalty featuring Will Hines (Broad City, Comedy Bang Bang, Brooklyn 99), Sarah Claspell (Dropout TV, Brooklyn 99, Drunk History), and Jim Woods (Jury Duty: Company Retreat, The Office, How I Met Your Mother). Get your ass to the show to see The Bozos go head-to-head with two literal kids in a ground-breaking improv moment of collision. I am elated they are playing the show and if you don’t know them, I promise you’ll never forget them after this show!

CHONK (Patrick Shen, Emily Jacob, Jocelyn Johnson, Faith Nagel, Richard Feliciano, David Neale, David Danipour, Koschka Barr, and John Dardenne) House Team at The Pack that I've been playing with (in different incarnations) since spring 2022!! This new version is CHONK-ier than ever before and so worth your time. Don't miss their unique brand of funny make-em-ups because in this show they meet the final bosses of L.A comedy: little frickin kids.

GIN BELLY (Vince Yap, Luis Jimenez, Carlos Santos, John Dardenne) My OG indie improv crew!—all former UCB house team performers who are best known as “THE KINGS OF THE CLUBHOUSE.” We’ve been dormant for a minute and this will be the first time the group plays together in over a year! Literally anything can happen. One time Lu and I got in an argument during a living-room opening. That can only happen with someone you love! I can’t wait to see how Gin Belly responds to the chaos that Anna and Winona will bring to the stage!

SPECIAL GUESTS??????

PLUS! (As always)
LINZY AND THE BOYS (Linzy Beltran (UCB Betty), Sanjay Rao (Netflix's HIT MAN), David Danipour (UCB Harold), and John Dardenne (wrote TV jokes for Wanda Sykes, UCB Maude/UCB Mess Hall alum). This may be the best improv team no one's heard of because I just made up the name without consulting the rest of the group. I LOVE THIS GROUP because they’re my dear friends! We all met on a house team at The Pack and boy am I glad that happened. Come to the show and YOU WILL SEE WHY!

***LITERAL CHILDREN (I teach kids improv and have invited TWO TINY TITANS to join me) (This is UNMISSABLE) Winona! Anna!! This is first so you gotta get there at 7pm if you wanna see the INCREDIBLE KIDS….

Whether you are a friend, enemy, or neutral observer this is a high-stakes opportunity to see John Dardenne succeed or fail. Be there.
