Big Bang Improv
BIG BANG IMPROV (Sarasota, Boston, NYC) Boston style free-form that has been wowing New England audiences and at festivals around the world for years. The entire set moves seamlessly from one scene to the next at the rate of over a scene a minute, all following the group play philosophy of “follow the funny.” The show builds rapidly and culminates in a series of surprising and organic callbacks done through the unique editing styling and storytelling of this Boston super-team. This is a high-energy improv experience that redefines itself with every performance.
