Funny Bone Improv
Funny Bone Improv (FBI) is excited to showcase their unique style of short form improv comedy to entertain the Black Box crowd. With routines made up on the spot, audience participation games, and puppetry for adults, it is sure to make you laugh out loud, or if not that, maybe at least smile, or if not that, it’ll make you wish you were somewhere else!!! One of those feelings will occur. For the sake of the group’s ego, please work on your fake laughter until we see you in September.
Show Format:
Our show format is short form that relies heavily on audience suggestions and participation!! We have spent the better part of two years tweaking the standard games to add a fresh element that is challenging to the improviser and more entertaining for audiences. We’ve even introduced a unique puppetry style for people to enjoy.
Tech Needs:
We will need 5 chairs and a way to play a cd at various points of the program.

Mon Frere
Mon Frere is a young sketch group from Greensboro, North Carolina. Growing up as nerds in the 80s and 90s left scars in their brains. And now they want to share those scars with you. We promise hilariousness as we visit comic books, video games, and sometimes our favorite novels.
Show Format:
Quick 5-7 minutes sketches with a couple 1 minute blacks outs mixed in.
Tech Needs:
Normal lights. We’ll bring props and costumes but nothing too extravagant. If a screen/projector is provided we have several sketches that involve power point presentations, but if one isnt available we just wont do those.
