Come along for improv’s most fun & social improv format. For this jam, the BIG bar is transformed into a comfy living room to be filled with chat, stories, and laughs. And when the chat simply gets too good to stay seated? Improv scenes inspired by the conversation fill the stage. Whether you want to just chat, just play, just watch, or do all three with a glass of wine in hand, The Living Room Jam is the perfect place for improvisers to meet and play!
Welcome to the community event with the freshest improv talent. It’s improv’s open mic, where new and practicing groups can test out their show.

In the second half, Jazz Hands and Other Emergencies will take you on a musical journey through time and space, drifting through forgotten worlds, distant futures, and fleeting moments that exist only for this night. But buckle up! Anything can happen on this ride: from tempo turmoil to key change calamities, from surreal surprises to magical madness.

The call is coming from inside the house... The Bluff Education Hour presents "I Know What You Bluffed Last Summer," an improvised horror radio play using your sounds and suggestions for one freaky night out. Performed in the dark, in the round, and in spatial audio, improvisers will sweat, scream, and try to outlast the evening with their sex appeal intact. It's a spine-tingling thrill ride with no script and a bogus sound design. Because you can bluff—but you can't hide.
