About this event

  • 2 hours

You heard us! We're tossing out the script and presenting three acts of completely improvised comedy. Fells Point Corner Theatre said we could! Doors open at 6:30, show starts at 7!

About the acts:

Hannah and Kyle Try Their Best are just two journalism graduates looking to make it at their next odd job. For some reason they keep having to switch careers.

Carbon Copy present a sci-fi / fantasy themed improv smorgasbord!

Babeprov performs a down and dirty Deconstruction - this all-female Baltimore ensemble sees the world from every side.

What is an improv show, exactly?

Improv is live theater created spontaneously by the performers with the inspiration of the audience. Unless noted otherwise, it’s a comedy show, made even more exciting, intriguing, and hilarious by the fact that none of it is pre-scripted! At an improv show you’ll see a wide range of creative and fascinating humans perform a highwire act by making comedy out of thin air! It can take many forms, including short competitive games, slice of life scenes, and full length sitcom or movie style performances!

A Highwire Improv show is truly a once in a lifetime performance, never done before and never to be done again!

About the venue:

This show is on the 2nd floor in the Sokol Theater, accessible only via stairs.

What parking is available?

What if I want to perform?

Highwire regularly offers open jams and drop-in workshops, and you can also submit your team for one of our upcoming seasons - check out our website for more info!

What's this 'suggestion' I keep hearing about?

The suggestion (also called the input or the get) is when an improv group asks the audience for some inspiration for their show. This could be a single world, a short anecdote, or the answer to a question. It's a way to make each show specific to you - the audience!
