Improv Resident Team Audition Night! Thank you Five/ Big Truck/ Jerk Chicken (9pm)

Improv Resident Team Audition Night!

Come be a part of the decision making process for our next round of Resident Teams with the AUDIENCE VOTE! The team with the most votes automatically becomes a Resident Team!

LINEUP:

Thank You Five

Thank You Five is composed entirely of Westside Comedy students! We have bonded in the forge that is WSC and now bring to you all that we have learned. Some of us have been doing improv for years, others just because they thought it would be a good tax write-off as a business expense for their MLM scheme. We enjoy performing our own style called “Florida Man,” which is similar to an Armando, in which we get a birthday from the audience, then search the date along with the words “Florida Man.” Whatever the insane news story that pops up is our suggestion for a montage of scenes! 

Team: Josey Oliva, Kyle O’Neil, Christian Krauspe, Vlad Pavlov, Eli Willman

Big Truck

Big Truck is an LA based improv team formed with members from around the US. Coming together in the most LA way possible, friends of friends of friends, Big Truck brings together east and west coast improv stylings. Members have performed in theaters across the US such as LA’s dearly departed UCB Sunset, Chicago’s Vittum Theater, Boston’s Improv Asylum, and plenty of basements, hostels, and backyards in between. Big Truck’s style is narrative, we take a one word suggestion from the audience and borrowing from a popular trivia show follows one member’s journey to share how they became a know-it-all! 

Team: Adam De’Angelo, Ashley Arlow, Ashley Campbell, Ethan Parets, Hannah Schweitzer, Laurel Gozzo, Lilah Schneeberger, Matthew Barkley, Spencer Bernard, Temma Pelletier

Jerk Chicken

In the wake of the 2018 iO West disaster a bunch of orphans formed together and decided to take turns being jerks. Pulling from all elements of their improv experiences, Jerk Chicken explores relationships and behaviors through mono scene, all while trying to not be jerks to each other.

Team: Michael Heiman, Jarrett Lennon Kaufman, Josh Spence, Josh Tariff
