Houston’s funniest improv comedy
Welcome to HTX Game Night! A fast paced night of comedy with games galore, where your suggestions help build the show! Much like Who's Line is it Anyway or Wildn' Out, our performers will have to generate scenes, stories, and characters on the fly.
A night of scenes, characters, and stories all completely made up on the spot! Each week, 3 teams take the stage to showcase their improv skills. Your suggestions will be used as inspiration to create these unique and one-of-a-kind shows. Come early and stay late for a cocktail at the bar. Come witness the best improv in Houston.
"Houston's most unforgettable live wrestling courtroom comedy show! Do you remember September? We do. We think.Maybe. Something is different at Wrestler’s Court this time around, and the only way to find out what happened is to be there when the gavel drops. New faces. Old problems. Unanswered questions. And, as always, absolutely no guarantee that justice will be served. Wrestler’s Court XVIII: Do You Remember September? You won't forget it. Probably."
Some late night laughs for you to end your September right. 3 independent teams across 90 minutes creating the scenes, stories, and characters off the cuff. Improv at its finest.
"I’ll Let Anyone Break My Heart” is a show that combines improvised storytelling by comedienne Kelsey Caine with improv comedy. The core of the show will always be making light of romantic devastation, however, heartbreak has many forms to be explored: friendship fallouts, career letdowns, family strife, that bitch death, etc. The goal of this show is to leave the audience a little less heartbroken than when they came in, or at the very least knowing they are very much not alone.
The Canal St Creepshow is a 90 minute improvised horror-comedy. Every Friday night in October, a truly terrifying urban legend will unfold before your very eyes! On a dark and stormy night at an unsuspecting cabin in the woods, five teens fight for survival as a serial killer relentlessly hunts them. Filled with screams, blood, horror, and (don’t worry), a little laughter…this show aims to create a unique narrative experience that is different each time you see it. So it is our macabre pleasure to make sure you’ll never see the show again, except for in your nightmares!
If you've ever watched the Barbie movie and cried about how hard it is to be a woman, this show is for you! The Fem Comedy Show features all female, female-identifying, and female-presenting performers in an outrageous night of comedy celebrating the fem experience. The Fem Comedy will feature two all-fem improv teams followed by standup from some of the funniest fems in Houston.
Join us for That’s What She Said, a bold, hilarious, and unfiltered night of comedy, storytelling, and sisterhood in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This event is more than just laughs—it’s a platform for women to speak out, share their stories, and reclaim their voices through humor and raw honesty. Through stand-up, storytelling, and performance, we’ll dive into the joys and pitfalls of sisterhood, pleasure, survival, and everything in between. From the awkward to the empowering, the heart-wrenching to the absurd, no topic is off-limits as we shine a light on the complexities of being a woman.
Welcome to Missed Connections! A show where improvisers across the city get a chance to meet and perform with people they may know. A showcase of Houston talent and celebration of our creative community.
An improvised burlesque revue full of frisky, sexy, whacky shenanigans! This time - we're getting SpoooOOOOooOOky! The Frisky Fiasco is back from the grave and ready to THRILL you, CHILL you, and give you goosebumps in all the right places! Step into the haunted world of The Frisky Fiasco, an improvised burlesque comedy show that will tantalize your senses, tickle your funny bone, and maybe even hex your heart.
