Following last year’s sold out show, performers from three of Memphis’ improvisational theater shows are joining together again for another group exhibition of improv talent.

Hosted by MemphisFreakEngine Productions, the event will group the performers in two teams who will then challenge each other to successive rounds of entertaining improvisational comedy games. The show will feature several well-known improv games, made popular by such television shows as “Whose Line Is It Anyway”. Also featured, will be signature games from each of the three represented shows’ line-ups. The winning team will be chosen by the audience.
