Comedy XPeriment - What We Do

Improvisation is the name of our game! We create characters and scenes on-the-spot, in front of a live audience.

Comedy XPeriment is willfully playing with the traditional formats of improv - known as Short-Form and Long-Form - and even creating some of its own!

Long Form shows take one initial suggestion from the audience and build a complete story around that single suggestion. This is CXP's signature format. We've been hard at work developing new "structures" that can present the Long Form improv story-telling ability in exciting and unique ways. Catch our latest developments at an upcoming show!

Short Form Improv is the most well known - popularized by the show "Who's Line Is It Anyway?". Each scene or game starts with a new suggestion from the audience and lasts 3 to 5 minutes. Additionally, the scene or game is usually enhanced through various formulas, such as changing an emotion when a host calls out something new. It's hilarity on steroids. Our short form shows come in two flavors: theater sports, where two teams of actors duke it out for comedic supremacy, or the exhibition, where we all participate to provide you the funniest stuff you've ever seen!

We've also recently added a musician to the troupe, and are now bringing musical numbers into our shows!

Where will this ride go next? Stay tuned!
