Open Improv

It's like Whose Line Is It Anyway, except there are no rules and the entire audience gets to participate.
It's a class where the grades don't matter and all the assignments are made up on the spot.
It's Open Improv, and it's a hell've lot more fun than whatever the hell else you were gonna do on a Tuesday.

Open Improv is one of the Sylvan's (VICELAND, Sketchfest, etc.) longest running shows. It started in a backyard with pizza and beer, and 8 years later we're running strong at our newest and best home, PianoFight. The first rule of Open Improv is %$#@ the rules, and the rest of the rules follow suit. It's a no-pressure- no-holds-barred comedy romp that proves the theory that anyone could be, and is, hilarious.
