Improv Marathon with Manez, The Day Camp Kids, Doppelganer (Fri only) and The HITMEN (Sat only)
Manez
Manez focuses on strong character work, ghosting and transformations that allow them to play off each other's strengths and focus on improv that just can't be done in a larger group. Philadelphia Weekly has described them as: "Naturally more magnetic on stage than their male counterparts, I think they may have even stolen the show."
The Day Camp Kids
The Day Camp Kids are from NYC and perform playful funny long form improv. Life is sad and boring. But it doesn't always have to be! The Day Camp Kids improvise a made-up fairy tale based off of your random suggestion! Filled with evil villains, princes, and mystical creatures, you'll wish our world was real instead of totally made-up and ridiculous.
Doppelganger (Friday, January 20 only)
Come see Charleston's only all improvised rock show, where you, the audience, shout out the "titles" of your favorite DOPPELGANGER! songs, and have them performed for the first and last time ever.
The Critics say:
"Lee Lewis and Jason Cooper are so good at what they do that the lines between fact and fiction may blur a bit during the show." - Jason Zwicker
"It's a mix of VH1 Storytellers and Tenacious D" - Erica Jackson
The HITMEN (Saturday, January 21 only)
These four boys met at iO Chicago (formerly improv Olympic), and it was indifference at first sight. It was love at around seventeenth sight, and now The HITMEN have been performing together for over two years. Their base is Chicago where they perform all over the city and have been featured in the Chicago Improv Festival's Special Edge Series.
The HITMEN play long-form that is fast paced and high-energy. The show moves quickly between characters and locations with all 4 players always on stage, and always engaged in the scene. The strong group mind shared by these four best friends allows them to continually follow the fun, and invites the audience to follow with them.
