This class offers a relaxed\, low-pressure way to meet new people — no small talk required. The games do the work. \nIt’s Just Plain Fun\nSeriously.

Here’s what students can expect across the five sessions: \nImprov games — the backbone of every class\nTeamwork and listening exercises\nCreating and playing different characters\nUnderstanding what improv really is: making things up\, not performing stand-up\nLetting go of “what’s funny” and just going with what’s true\nA welcoming\, judgment-free space to try new things \nInstructor: Brian Duguay\nBrian Duguay is a longtime member and teacher at Crawlspace Comedy Theatre. With 25 years of experience studying\, performing\, and directing in New York City\, he brings a deep understanding of improvisation\, performance\, and ensemble work.

SUMMARY:The Great Improv Showdown [Late Show]
DESCRIPTION:***TICKETS ARE ONLY AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR STARTING AT 9:00pm.*** \nComedy Played as a Tournament. You Call the Shots. \nForget everything you know about “polite” theater. The Great Improv Showdown is a high-octane\, bracket-style competition where the city’s quickest improvisers are drafted into random teams and forced to fight for survival. It’s got the energy of a buzzer-beater\, the drama of a Game 7\, and the chaos of a locker room celebration—all for just five bucks. \nHow the Game is Played:\nThe Draft: No pre-set teams here. Players are randomly assigned on the spot. Can they find chemistry before the whistle blows?\nThe Bracket: It’s a single-elimination gauntlet. One loss\, and you’re hitting the showers. One win\, and you’re one step closer to the Championship.\nThe Officials: Our Commissioner keeps the clock running and the games moving.\nThe MVP (You): You don’t need to know a thing about sports to love the Showdown. The audience acts as the Selection Committee. Your cheers\, your laughs\, and your votes determine who advances and who gets cut.\nThis is interactive comedy at its peak. Whether you’re a die-hard improv fan or just looking for the best Saturday night bet in town\, the Showdown delivers. \nTHE STATS\nDATE: September 12\nDOORS: 9:00 PM (Pre-game drinks available)\nTIP-OFF: 9:30 PM\nTICKETS: $5* (Entry to the Arena)\nTicket are only available at the door starting at 9:00pm.\n*7:30p ticket holders can attend for free. \nWill there be a Cinderella story\, or will the favorites take the trophy? There’s only one way to find out.
