THIS SHOW IS 21 AND OVER. PLEASE BRING A VALID I.D.
IMPROV RESIDENT TEAM NIGHT!
Check out our current lineup of Resident Improv Teams! These teams perform Long-Form Improv all inspired by a suggestion from the audience. Think of it as a sitcom made up on the spot.
Catch them before they are gone! These teams rotate every three months!
Bernie Mac & Cheese
Bernie Mac and Cheese Improv Troupe was founded in 2019. They are made up of all walks of the improv spectrum: some trained at various levels of The Groundlings, Second City, Westside Comedy Training Center and others who have only done the improv jam circuit. More than half also perform standup comedy.
Their diversity of cultures and training have led to much success in the LA Improv Community in a relatively short amount of time. Recently they were selected to perform at SF Sketchfest 2023. They were also a staple at The Pack Theater Deathmatch and were eventually named the winners of the Deathmatch Tournament of Champions.
They have also hosted an event at The Comedy Central Stage, been granted residencies at The Pack Theater and The Clubhouse (both prior to pandemic). They were also selected as participants in The Westside Comedy Festival III. They also have performed in many indie shows by request including reunions, some birthday parties and corporate events.
Their style is very easy to follow for their audience… the get is one word, they do 3 completely different base scenes inspired by that word, followed by a group game or scene to capture a theme then a montage consisting of tags tag runs sweeps & callbacks.
Team: Sean Grant, Tatyana Komaguchi, Jeremiah White, Simone Finley, Myra Whittington, Monique Parks, Jacob Yagi, Paris Nicole
Dock of the Bay
Dock of the Bay is the duo brainchild of Elena Afanasiev and Sarah Thompson. Grounded in theatrical work with absurd, always hilarious, sometimes poignant improvisation!
DOTB was founded in 2017, when Elena and Sarah discovered their mutual love of improv with heart, honesty, and play at its core. After meeting as members of an improvisational theater ensemble where they both performed and taught, Elena and Sarah performed as Dock of the Bay at multiple theaters in Portland, Oregon until their relocation to Los Angeles, California, where they have performed at various indie venues and as a resident team at Westside Comedy in Santa Monica.
Using a unique, organic format created by Elena and Sarah, Dock of the Bay blurs the lines between comedy and drama, reality and fantasy, absurd and grounded, to deliver one hell of a show.
Team: Elena Afanasiev and Sarah Thompson
