That's right, we make it
up as we go along! This is comedy on the edge. Improv is
theatre's guerrilla movement, sneaking in late at night to poke
fun at all that is stuffy and stupid in the world at large--whatever's
on the audience's mind is our raw material that evening. Laughing
Gas combines improvisation with music, sketches, news and
commercial parodies and more, in a wild, non-stop, 90-minute show.

the online improv magazine. Some groups, like Chicago's Second
City, branched out into sketch comedy, and many of their
performers moved on to fame and fortune on SCTV
and Saturday Night Live. The rest, as they say, is history...
