SUMMARY:This Just In (Improvised News Network)
DESCRIPTION:THIS JUST IN… is a mixed long-form and short-form improv comedy show that parodies the structure and tone of a traditional TV news broadcast with the absurdity of character-driven improv. Anchors\, field reporters\, correspondents\, and special guests will navigate a world of absurd characters through the lens of “serious” journalism. Core recurring segments anchor each performance\, but other segments rotate show-to-show\, allowing for freshness and variety every time. Guest improvisors and cameo characters will regularly appear\, giving each show its own unpredictable cast of personalities. The result is going to be a fast-moving comedic news hour where bold characters\, goofy spontaneous choices\, and audience prompts shaping a completely new experience at every performance. \nACCESSIBILITY WARNING: This show includes flashing lights\, bright visual effects\, and/or strobe lighting. These effects may trigger discomfort or seizures for individuals with photosensitive conditions. Viewer discretion is advised.

At the end of the show\, the audience votes for the comic who turned that shared spark into the most unforgettable set. \nSame spark. Different fires. You decide who burns brightest.

SUMMARY:Mockumentary Now!
DESCRIPTION:“Mockumentary Now! — where the cameras are invisible\, the stakes are high\, and absolutely everything is made up on the spot.\nThis long-form improv show follows seasoned comedians as they attempt to piece together a documentary live on stage — without a script\, but with plenty of hot takes and unexpected twists. Each show starts with an audience suggestion for a totally made-up\, upcoming fictional event (think: the town’s first-ever squirrel mayor election or Waterpark Grand Opening). From there\, characters spill their deepest\, weirdest  inner thoughts in confessionals\, all while preparing for the big day — and you’re the unseen camera crew capturing it all. \nA staple of the Denver comedy scene since 2022\, Mockumentary Now! performs every 3rd Saturday at 8pm at RISE Comedy — don’t miss your chance to see a documentary that will never win an Oscar… but just might steal your heart. Because the best documentaries…are the ones that shouldn’t exist.”

SUMMARY:Frightening Tales to Share at Night!
DESCRIPTION:Gather ’round the campfire as a mysterious narrator guides you through “Frightening Tales to Share at Night!”\, a long form improv comedy show that warps your cherished childhood memories into spine-tingling tales of terror. \nInspired by classic ‘90s and 2000s kid-horror shows like “Goosebumps” and “Are You Afraid of the Dark?”\, this fully improvised show takes audience suggestions and turns them into hilariously haunted stories—complete with ridiculous creatures\, melodramatic twists\, and sometimes purposeful bad acting. \nIt’s like Are You Afraid of the Dark? if the cast forgot their lines… because they never had any to begin with. \nFunny\, fast\, and just the right amount of creepy—this show is perfect for anyone who grew up loving (or hiding from) the weird kids’ horror of the ‘90s and early 2000s.
