Carolina Improv Comedy Show – Similar to Whose Line is it Anyway?

Now appearing at GTS Theatre

We create shows without a script, similar to the TV show “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”. Our shows are performed in ensemble style (not stand-up) and our performers are local residents of Myrtle Beach (most who are not really from here). Many of them studied improv with us or at other improv training centers, such as Second City in Chicago.

We offer a variety of shows to meet all needs! Our family friendly shows are perfect for all ages. And our “18+” shows are ideal for date night or a night a way from the kids. We take pride in producing shows that aren’t “nasty” or vulgar. The difference between a family friendly show and an “18+” show is the use of sexual innuendo. If you’re looking for something more risque, we suggest going to one of the other comedy clubs.

If you’ve never been to an improv comedy show, you can expect our performers to talk to the audience and ask for suggestions to create the show. Sometimes we’ll even ask for volunteers to join us on stage for a few minutes. If you’re a little shy or reserved, don’t worry, we’ll see it on your face and not put you on the spot. Just keep in mind that we need SOME participation from the audience to create the show. Again, if you’re shy, we’ll go easy on you but maybe you could bring a more vocal friend with you! Ha!

Shows are approximately 90 minutes in length with an intermission. Details
