Nice Show!

JOHN DARDENNE improvises with improv legends, house teams, indie teams, and FOUR KIDS this week!!!!
Special guests 10/23/26:

CLARE MCCONNELL (Star Trek: Discovery) Clare is a hilarious improvisor, a 2026 Montreal Just For Laughs “New Face,” a brand-new UCB Maude writer/performer, and an alumna of the Second City Mainstage where Broadway World called her “a red-headed Jim Carrey.” She's kindly taking the time to improvise with me and kids. Come see her shine!!

FAB FOUR (Patrick Rowland, Mattia Day, Ashlei Theard, Edgar Blackmon) The Fab Four’s blend of slow relationship focused Chicago-style improv and high energy character game based L.A.-style improv helped them become one of the winningest teams in the history of UCB Cagematch!! They are a true improv phenom and I can’t wait to play with them and kids!! Don't miss this chance to see them perform!!

DIMES (Stuart Hicar, Carly Strait, Avery McClure, Freddy Boyd, Bug Williamson, Pallavi Gunlan, Alex Honnet, Kyle O'Neil, Amber Page) Dimes is a amazing house team at The Pack with a bunch of insanely talented improvisors who are about to have the weirdest set of their lives when children descend on their scenes with reckless abandon and unearned confidence. God’s speed to you and can’t WAIT to see what happens!!

SURPRISE SPECIAL GUESTS???????????
THIS IS THE LAST NICE SHOW OF 2026 and THERE ARE GONNA BE SURPRISES!!!!

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 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. HOLY SHIT 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 FOUR TINY TITANS to join me) (This is UNMISSABLE) Artie! Milo!! Winona!!! Advaith!!!! 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.
