Cleveland Jams 9/11/07

As Tuesday night fell upon Cleveland, improvisers from all over the city were drawn to the Powerhouse Pub for a night of free hilarious and amazing improvisational comedy! The Powerhouse Pub in the Flats shook with excitement as jammers and audience members enjoyed a 2 hr improv comedy jam and still wanted more! 11 jammers took the stage and made it clear to everyone that Cleveland is definitely an Improv Comedy City!

The first set of the night included a wonderful array of fast paced/physical shortform games including: all plays, emotional styles, limitation structures and a new structure called “News Slips” that combined a news cast with the game structure “slips”. It was definitely not to be missed! Our second set of longform was equally powerful and absolutely amazing! One suggestion was given, “Live Free Or Die” and a 30 minute piece was created. 11 improvisers gave it there all, protected eachother on stage, created and brought back characters, relationships and scenes, utilized splits screens and created time dashes.

A major thank you to Mike Mercer, Joe the bartender and The Powerhouse Pub for another incredible night! It is your constant enthusiasm and support of local Improv Comedy Theater that keeps Clevelands Improv Commmunity growing each and every year. You guys are fantastic!
