IMPROV COMEDY from Greenville, Columbia, and St. Petersburg

This show features 3 improv sets from across the Upstate: Alchemy 201 students, Mothers Comedy Group, and Daniel Scott Dagesse's Potty Time

About this event

Improv 201 is one of Alchemy's introductory levels to our classes and here they will get a chance to show off their new improv skills.

The Mothers Comedy Group is made up of graduates of improv comedy training programs in New York, Chicago, Clemson University, the University of South Carolina, and other institutions across the nation. They make their home in Trustus Theatre in downtown Columbia, South Carolina. Now in their tenth anniversary season, The Mothers have sketch and improv shows, as well as commerce series and recurring events at the Richland Library. Their dedication to community-focused comedy has borne results: the group was awarded the inaugural “Best Local Comedy or Improv Group” in August 2020 from readers of Columbia’s long-running weekly paper, The Free Times and has won every year since.

Daniel Scott Dagesse Presents Potty Time is a wild improv comedy show where the titular Daniel Dagesse interviews a random audience member about their own bathroom story and recreates it through the assistance of the audience. How you ask? The audience is given the power to add as many characters to the story as they see fit with the ding of a bell. The only catch? Daniel has to play every single character in the scene.
