Stand Up Comedy - Saturday Night

Improv Charlotte

We are a diverse group of friends with different types of humor, different strengths, different weaknesses, different beliefs on a wide variety of different topics, different backgrounds, different styles, totally different occupations, different tastes in movies and very different tastes in music... so many differences about this family we call Improv Charlotte. But we do have a common passion, a common desire to get better at what we do, a common love and respect for our fellow players, a common enthusiasm to help those in need, and one big common goal to bring you the best comedy in the QC. We are Improv Charlotte.

Mom's Adhesive

This three-prov long form improv team performs prides itself on their eclectic story telling, where they air out their dirty secrets and personal truths.  This team not only performs once a month at A.O.S., but they've performed at Tampa Improv Festival, Cape Fear Improv Festival, and the historic Capri Theatre in Gaffney.  

 

Mom’s adhesive has been known to cause serious side effects such as: fits of hysterical laughter, tummy cramps from said hysterical fits, and an insatiable urge to eat glue.

Now Are the Foxes

You know that group of friends that are ALWAYS fun to be around? The ones with the wicked sense of humor. The dysfunctional but lovable bunch of clowns that have a satirical perspective on EVERYTHING and always make you laugh til your sides ache? No? You don’t have friends like that? Well neither did we, so we made our own.

Our mission is to perform, teach, develop and promote the art of comedy in its many forms; to be a theater comprising members of the community performing for the community; to entertain and surprise the audience and ourselves; and to be a theater of the heart where honesty and love for your fellow performer are the basis for all things that happens on stage.

Off the Cuff

Off the Cuff is CCT’s official Short-Form Team. Short-form is a type of improvisation that is full of energy, quick wit, and laughs. Come check out Off the Cuff in their high octane thrill ride of a comedy show featuring fun games, catchy songs, and tons of audience participation. This show is similar to what you’d see on “Whose Line is it Anyway?” without the sensors.
