Louisville Improvisors present
Improvapalooza 8
Born out of countercultural 1960s comedy troupe the Committee, Los Angeles's Groundlings have been practicing their high-octane brand of anything-goes improvisation for three decades. Audiences know the group for their wacky sketch comedy and lightning audience participation rounds. Its alumni include a laundry list of "Saturday Night Live"-ers (Phil Hartman, Julia Sweeney, Will Ferrell, Laraine Newman), Cassandra "Elvira" Peterson and Emmy-winning "Friends" star Lisa Kudrow. www.groundlings.com

- Kevin Berntson has been seen on TV in ER, MONK, and recurring role on RENO 911! He's not an insomniac, but he plays one on TV commercials with a beaver and Abe Lincoln.

LOUISVILLE IMPROVISORS with special guest "Jazz Guru" TODD HILDRETH
The Louisville Improvisors originated ensemble Improvisation in Louisville nearly ten years ago and continue to explore the unique art form of Theatrical Improvisation. Their concept shows walk the tightrope of unscripted theatre...combining traditional stage work with the unpredictable element of improv. The result is an adrenaline pumping night where anything goes...and usually does.
The Louisville Improvisors are: Chris Anger, Josh Lane, and Alec Volz
