Who knew? – This New York City improv staple is remarkable for their tenacity and their vibrance. They have improv and sketch shows regularly, with the improv ranging from hilarious short form to completely improvised one-act plays. Their shows feature veterans and beginners, with every show structured to show off the ensemble's strengths. Look for special offerings like their production of "How We First Met" as well as "Off the Top of Our Heads," a Gotham standby.
