Show Descriptions
Improv Comedy for Rochester, NY
MICETRO
Improv elimination-style!  It's like "Survivor" meets Improv Comedy.

A large group of improvisors are assigned numbers and are chosen randomly by the evenings hosts.  After each scene, the audience scores the quality of the scene (1-5), with every improvisor in that scene getting that score.  Throughout the night, the lowest scoring improvisors are eliminated, until there is only one champion.
