Thurs Things First

An experience you should not miss, every 1st Thursday of each month! Improv is unpredictable but also structured to build off of your laughter, making every show funnier to watch as it goes on. These two improv comedy teams crush it every show and they also have very different and distinct styles giving you everything you need to laugh as loudly as possible.

Whether you're looking for something guaranteed to impress your date on a Thursday night, share big laughs with friends and have some delicious craft cocktails, or also a great place to just go by yourself and become a part of the community that The Backline is so proud of- this is the show for you. See you on the first Thursday of every month!

"Human [REDACTED]" is a fast-paced improv team that finds what's funny, has all the fun they can with the idea then moves on to find the next fun idea as they cut away to new scenes and any other way they can to expose every piece of humor in an idea. (Trent Kutchara, Julia Delaney, Bree Kalhorn, James Brown, Nathan Dunham, Joey Novak)

"Ground Control" performs a Dramatic Monoscene, which means they stay as one character throughout as they stay in one location never cutting away to another scene. The 'Dramatic" term also means they will be emotional and playing off of the drama in their scene, but it will most certainly be comedic. (Dylan Rohde, Annalise Anderson, Patrick Kilcoyne, Fred Lenza, Tori Smith, Jesse Davis, Andrew Ciochetto)
