If you're thinking to yourself: "Is this really another Friday the 13th-themed improv show?", then the answer to you is a resounding "YES!"

It's the best day around if you're wearing a replica hockey mask and you've got mommy issues, and since there have only been 76 of them until now since the first movie came out, we can't afford to miss a single one!

Join us for an evening of improvised shortform comedy games like the ones you might see on Whose Line, filled with themes and suggestions centered around everyone's favorite, crazed-Gerry Cheevers lookalike, summer camps, improvised weaponry, and everything F13!

Our show is on Friday, September 13th, 2024 at the Cape Media Center in Dennis Port, at 17 Shad Hole Rd., Dennis Port, MA 02639. Doors open at 6:30pm, show starts at 7pm, and tickets are only $10! Grab them at the door or at ImprovCapeCod.com!

It’s finally time to lower the volume on that Alice Cooper track you’ve had blasting ever since June, because - alas for kids - it is about time to get back to school. Now, while we here at Improv Cape Cod don’t usually get a crowd filled with people using pencils, books, nor are our audiences often the recipients of teachers’ dirty looks, we DO believe in education.

That is to say - educating our audiences that yes, it is possible for a bunch of full grown adults make a room full of other full grown adults laugh at fart jokes!

Join us for an evening of live comedy featuring shortform improv games, like the ones you might see on Whose Line, filled with themes and suggestions centered around “back to school” shenanigans! From apples and rulers, to lockers and an inexplicable ban on chewing gum, the only school-thing missing from this show will be that D+ in applied physics that I still can’t stop thinking about twenty-one years later.

Our show is on Friday, August 30th, 2024 at the Cape Media Center in Dennis Port, at 17 Shad Hole Rd., Dennis Port, MA 02639. Doors open at 6:30pm, show starts at 7pm, and tickets are only $10! Grab them at the door or at ImprovCapeCod.com!

We present a haiku:

Up, up, down, down, left,

Right, left, right, B, A, select

And/or start button.

If that means something to you, we commend you on your knowledge of that reference. But even if it doesn’t, what we DO know is that since you’re on a website and in the social media depths of an improv troupe, we KNOW you like improv comedy! Which is why we’re excited to announce Video Game Improv!

Join us for an evening of shortform improv games, like the kinds you might see on Whose Line, filled with themes and suggestions centered around video games! From Pong to Elden Scroll, and everything in between, we’ll be the Game Genie to maximizing your Friday night!

Our show is on Friday, August 16th, 2024 at the Cape Media Center in Dennis Port, at 17 Shad Hole Rd., Dennis Port, MA 02639. Doors open at 6:30pm, show starts at 7pm, and tickets are only $10! Grab them at the door or at ImprovCapeCod.com!

Nothing can quite replace the glorious memories of that one fateful day in school when we were allowed to wear hats. The whole rest of the year, the “hat” was nothing more than the head covering of the juvenile delinquent. But for that ONE DAY, the schoolchildren were all allowed to wear our backwards Charlotte Hornets ballcap that, for some reason, we all had in 1993.

But as much as we cannot recreate that unbridled joy of childhood, and though we might spend the rest of our lives in that futile pursuit, what we CAN do is Hat Day Improv! We will be allowing our performers, who themselves haven’t matured a day since 1993, to wear their favorite hats, and we want YOU to, as well! Enjoy an evening of live comedy in the form of shortform improv games, like the ones you might see on Whose Line, performed by local comedians - all wearing hats!

Our show is on Friday, August 2nd, 2024 at the Cape Media Center in Dennis Port, at 17 Shad Hole Rd., Dennis Port, MA 02639. Doors open at 6:30pm, show starts at 7pm, and tickets are only $10! Grab them at the door, via the link in our FB event/Insta bio, or at ImprovCapeCod.com!

Friday, July 26, 2024 is National Aunt & Uncle Day! Improv Cape Cod has celebrated badass moms, and Vaders… now it’s time to honor the siblings of people with kids, official or unofficial!

Join us this Friday for an evening of shortform improv games like the ones you might see on Whose Line, performed by local comedians, and filled with themes and suggestions centered around aunts & uncles! From that cool auntie who played you her punk rock vinyl she bought from a sketchy guy outside of CBGB’s in 1977, to the dorky uncle with his own theories about the events in Roswell, New Mexico in the mid-20th century, these half-adult/half-pals deserve an evening of comedy centered on them!

So bring your parents’ sibling, or your sibling’s kid, or anyone that you CONSIDER one of the above, and enjoy an evening of live comedy & theatre right here in Dennis Port!

The show will be at 17 Shad Hole Rd., in Dennis Port MA 02639, July 26th, 2024. Doors open at 6:30 PM, and the show starts at 7pm.

Tickets are only $10 at the door or here!

Is your birthday, or the birthday of someone you love, or like, or even - like-like coming up!?

Well, you’re in luck! Because on Friday, July 12th, 2024 at 7pm, Improv Cape Cod presents our Friday Night Improv: Birthday… Day themed! Featuring local comedians performing shortform improv games like the ones you might see on Whose Line, peppered with themes and suggestions centered around birthday celebrations! Come celebrate the anniversary of that special date of birth with Improv Cape Cod!

Plus, two of our performers are celebrating their birthday this Friday, too, so you won’t be alone! And if you’re bringing someone whose birthday it is, we will totally pretend that you planned with us to throw the whole thing in their honor, too. Your secret is safe with us.

The show will be at 17 Shad Hole Rd., in Dennis Port MA 02639, July 12th, 2024. Doors open at 6:30 PM, and the show starts at 7pm.

More than just the second best song in Grease (1978) after “Greased Lightnin’”, summer nights are one of the best things about living and playing on the Cape. From beach bonfires, warm weather, the traffic from the hot day winding down, and getting to watch all the youthful fistfights outside of various bars on various main streets, night life on the Cape is the best!

But the one thing we offer that the bars don’t, apart from relative safety from getting into a physical altercation with someone born after Shrek came out, is improvised comedy! On Friday, June 21, 2024, Improv Cape Cod will be performing our Friday Night Improv! This “Summer Nights” show will feature shortform improv games like the ones you might see on Whose Line, filled with themes & suggestions centered around summer on Cape Cod.

This show, like all of our shows, is PG-13, although aside from the occasional innuendo that only grown-ups will pick up on, we very rarely ever go blue. Doors open at 6:30pm, show starts at 7pm.

Tickets are only $10 at the door or here!

A short time from now, in a Cape Media Center close, close to you…

If you like telling dad jokes in Yodaic pantameter, and your bucket of bolts can make the Kessel run in less than 12 fart-jokes, you’ll love our VADER’S DAY improv show on Friday, June 7, 2024! While “dads” is not always a universal concept, Star Wars is explicitly a “universal” concept, so we figured - let’s celebrate both! Plus, since the concept of being a father is central to the plot of the now 44 years old movie, which we still choose not to spoil, we have merged both concepts in order to bring balance to the show.

Featuring shortform improv games like the ones you might see on Whose Line, filled with themes & suggestions centering around dads & the visions of George Lucas, this show is sure to leave you saying: “Beep-beep-boop-boop-booooeeeeoooop!!”

Tickets are only $10 at the door or here!

This Friday, May 24, 2024 - if you like improvised comedy in the form of shortform games like you might see on Whose Line, or if you want to support a local theater that could use our help - come check out Friday Night Improv!

All ticket proceeds for Friday Night Improv on May 24, 2024 (purchased at improvcapecod.com or at the door) will be donated directly to support Cape Cinema! Cape Cinema has been a staple of Cape Cod since 1930 - nearly one hundred years of being a destination locals can go to appreciate great cinema! You’d be hard pressed to find any fans of film on the Cape who haven’t seen at least one of their favorite movies here, and that’s not even accounting for all of the other many events and programs they’ve offered over the decades.

They’ve been there for us, and now they need a little bit of help to build momentum for their 2024 summer season! So come laugh at our silly improvised comedy, all with themes centering around cinema, and know that your ticket purchase will go into supporting this fine Cape Cod institution! Then - once the season kicks off - make sure you join us in going to see some movies there, too!

Tickets are only $10 at the door or here!

Some moms will stick up for you when you’re picked on by the school bully. Some moms will work two jobs to help you fund your college education. Other moms will find you in the ducts of a devastated research facility overrun by xenomorphs, and then use an exoskeletal forklift to fistfight the hell beast that threatens you.

Whether they’re cutting the crust off your PB & J or turning your husband from Dick York into Dick Sargent, badass moms are out there, and we want to celebrate them in the only way that we know how - through a loosely themed shortform improv show centered around the badass moms we all know!

So bring your mom, bring your child, or just come and wish you had the type of mom like Albert was in the Birdcage (even though Val is the worst movie villain) and come see Friday Night Improv! Featuring shortform games like the ones you might see on Whose Line, all with themes and suggestions centered around badass moms, this is one you won’t want to miss!

Chilling rain is descending from the bitter gray clouds. All the bunnies & birds are cowering from the blistering gusts of wind. Boston is one of the top teams in the league, but everyone is talking about how they’ll be eliminated in the first round.

A box of chocolates for two is much less heart-healthy than splitting it between a group of friends, and we at Improv Cape Cod agree that - while mUsHy love is great for Hallmark, we think we owe a special day of celebration just for platonic love.

Grab a group of your close friends in a non-amorous way, and bring them to see our night of comedy featuring themes and suggestions centered around love; friendship-style. On February 16th, 2024, when you’re two days removed from the saccharine retail miasma that is Valentine’s Day, come check out shortform improv games like the ones you might see on Whose Line, with no pressure to seem cool, like you might experience on a date!

Tickets are $10 at the door or here!

There’s barely any time left, and you’ve just scored. You’re now only one point away. Do you make the safe move; go for the extra point to tie it up, and try your luck in overtime? Or do you go for the two-point conversion, risk it all, capitalize on your momentum, and try to shut it down right here?

Neither.

You come celebrate the majestic barn owl (Latin Tyto alba) and all her splendorous cousins, as we join together for a night of Superb Owl themed improv! Featuring themes and suggestions centered around everyone’s favorite avian mouse-eaters (and maybe football if we have time), Improv Cape Cod presents an evening of shortform improv games like the ones you might see on Whose Line. This February 9th, you can take a break from reminding your Uncle Allen that seeing Taylor Swift’s face doesn’t somehow detract from his joie de vivre, and instead show Uncle Allen a great night of improv comedy!
