Improv Forever!

What better way to express our independence and creativity than with another installment of high energy completely scriptless improv comedy done only as Cleveland Jams can do! 11 improvisers from all around descended upon the Bassa Vita Lounge in Lakewood and heated up the joint for the cities Tuesday night dose of comedy.

Our audience was treated to a short form set followed by 2 incredible long form sets! Each Longform group received one suggestion from the audience, followed it up with truthful monologues from each player which created each groups table of contents. From there a series of interconnecting scenes were created! If you never checked out a longform improv set…THEN YOU MUST…IT IS A BLAST!
