The Scared Scriptless Comedy Lab will once again be bringing a night of hilarious antics, musical comedy, and on-the-spot jokes. Every facet of the uproariously improvised show is based on audience suggestions. With years of experience performing Scared Scriptless Comedy Lab delivers a side splitting, one-of-a-kind show every time.
This troupe of talented performers offer a unique mixture of both short and long form improv, creating an entertaining evening of family-friendly laughter that is fast-paced, musical, and completely improvised.
