Molassi

The Slow Jam. Come play in a slower, more theatrical style of improv. Randomly-chosen performers pair up and do a long, continuous improv scene (typically 5 or 6 minutes). 10 lucky improvisers will get a chance to perform, and at the end of the night, one of the five duos is chosen by the audience to come back to perform in the showcase 10-minute slot, which closes the night. Hosted by Marcus Bonnée. Created by Chris Grace.

The Incorrigible Mr. J + Raisin's Campfire Fun Time

The Incorrigible Mr. J
Disturbing race- and gender-bending three-person sketches with psychedelic lighting and dynamic choreography that will leave you breathless. We'll make you say "Oh no they didn't!" when you will know, in fact, that we did … and you want us to do it again. We stake our nonexistent reputation on it. Written and performed by Matt Donnelly, Jim Festante and Rebekka Johnson.

Raisin's Campfire Fun Time
Brian McCann from Late Night with Conan O'Brien presents "Raisin's Campfire Fun Time." You're cordially invited to an hour of substance, song, confessions, and great times. Welcome.

Pennybacker

"Wildly entertaining... The show is a resounding alternative for those who claim to be bored with more aggressively publicized improv troupes, and it is a fitting successor to the great companies of the improv underground. Once the alphabet of improvised theater has been successfully rearranged, it will probably spell 'Pennybacker'." — Off Off Online
