Shovel City Improv

Friday, August 14, 2020 @ 7:30 pm

Event Navigation

A truly fun-filled show, these crazy hometown comedians keep it fresh and entertaining with sketches that YOU help create. So bring your imaginations and bring your friends to laugh the night away with Shovel City Improv.

Taking the phrase “audience participation” to a whole new level, members of the audience suggest random ideas for the games and skits that seasoned stage actors perform on the spot. Nothing is scripted, so it becomes a night of hilarious and unpredictable fun! This event is recommended for ages 16 and older.

The rotational pool of actors from Shovel City Improv includes Daniel Bradshaw, Kim Bradshaw, Mike Cochran, Bruce Cudd, Diana Dailey, Hannah Fuller, Justen LaPlante, and Eric Mosley.

Please note: Safety protocols are in place to ensure a clean, safe environment. Guests will find staff and volunteers in face masks, hand sanitizer in high-touch surface locations, plastic dividers in the concession area, and will be assisted in seat selection to assure proper spacing. Safety policies and guidelines will continue to evolve with time and will be assessed and updated on an ongoing basis.
