DESCRIPTION:Dave Hill and Mary Lou lead an all-star cast of improv comedians as they use YOUR suggestions to forge a complete fantasy character right before your eyes. This improvised longform show is ridiculously fun\, unexpectedly hilarious\, and absolutely epic. Go on the journey as you help the cast create the tragic backstory\, heroic destiny\, tavern brawls\, and ancient grudges to make the character worthy of being added to the Hero’s Codex.

You see it all emerge through lightning-fast improvisation. The scars. The secrets. The spell that didn’t work as planned and quest that changed everything. A complete adventurer\, conjured from scratch using your imagination. Who will we create tonight?

SUMMARY:Dynamic Scene Starts Workshop With Dave Hill
DESCRIPTION:First choices on stage are often the most purely improvised moments of any scene.  There is so much potential in the beginning of a scene and yet we don’t mine the gold of that moment nearly enough.  In this workshop we will explore a series of dynamic methods for starting a scene that will give you both more tools and more freedom at the tops of your scenes. \n\nInstructor:\nDave Hill is an actor\, improviser\, writer and producer living in LA.  He has been seen in multiple tv appearances including MODERN FAMILY and the short-lived but wonderful NBC sitcom GREAT NEWS.  His voice has been heard on such animated series as AMERICAN DAD\, AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE and SQUIDBILLIES.   He co-wrote\, co-directed and co-starred in the feature film THE NIGHT IS YOUNG (now available on Peacock\, Amazon and other streamers).  He has died hundreds of different ways while doing voices for video games.  Hundreds.

SUMMARY:2026 Denver Sketch Festival – Jordan Moeller / Avery & Sabrina Are Dead
DESCRIPTION:JORDAN MOELLER: WHISPERS ON THE ADRIATIC (Los Angeles\, CA) \nWhispers on the Adriatic is the story of Giovanni DeMontessori\, ascendant 14th-century Venetian shipwright\, as he sails south atop the cool waters of the Adriatic Sea on a secret\, deadly\, and wet quest for utter glory. Guided by the stars and charged by the Doge of Venice to deliver a mysterious package to the Governor of Crete\, will Giovanni overcome the pirates\, monsters\, and strange temptations that plague him on his journey? Or will he become lost\, forever adrift in the blue and boundless waves of the Adriatic? \nEqual parts medieval epic and meta-theatrical breakdown\, WotA is a rollicking deconstruction of a live first-person historical documentary. Combining elements of sketch\, physical theater\, clown\, and rapid-fire character comedy\, a single performer brings an entire ocean of eccentric characters and lo-fi sound effects to life. \nDirected by seasoned sketch comedian Connor Bowen and based on the unreleased narrative historical fiction comedy podcast of the same name\, Whispers is a new project by comedian Jordan Moeller. \nCAST: Jordan Moeller\, Connor Bowen \n\nAVERY & SABRINA ARE DEAD (Dallas\, TX)\nJust in time for the end of the world\, Avery & Sabrina have crafted a show built upon the two\, foundational pillars of sketch comedy: existential dread and quantum mechanics. A spiritual successor to their award-winning debut “Avery & Sabrina are Doing a Sketch Show”\, “Avery & Sabrina are Dead!” is a brand new sketch show featuring Avery Baker\, Sabrina Lichtenstein\, and their very special guest\, Daniel R. States. Each progressively absurd sketch is narratively tied together by their overarching question: wait – are we dead? Inspired by classic works such as “Waiting for Godot”\, “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead”\, and “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City”\, “Avery & Sabrina are Dead” delivers fast-paced humor alongside the stark realization that essence may in fact precede existence….or whatever that guy said. \nCAST: Sabrina Lichtenstein\, Avery Baker\, Dan States

SUMMARY:2026 Denver Sketch Festival – Not Vivek Srikanthan / Big Ol’ Mess
DESCRIPTION:NOT VIVEK SRIKANTHAN (Toronto\, ON) \nVivek Srikanthan is dead. \nAfter attempting to do solo metafictional sketch ‘comedy’ for years\, he was taken out back by the Ghosts of Comedy Past\, Present\, and Future\, and given a drug concoction of strychnine\, zyklon b\, and ‘Reels’. He was then cut limb from limb\, and separated across the globe so that nobody could ever stumble upon a man who once tried to do ‘art’ in Comedy. But thanks to the laws of reincarnation (thanks Buddha!)\, his body has reformed itself here\, in this very festival\, and they have learned much on their travels. Things such as ‘detective hat’\, ‘game of the scene’\, and perhaps most importantly\, ‘how to get on a JFL showcase’. There is no longer Vivek\, but only the grand and glorious thing known as ‘character comedy’. \nVivek Srikanthan is also a Toronto based sketch comedian\, best known for his idiotic\, self-reflexive\, and self-deprecating style of solo sketch comedy. He has previously performed sketch festivals across North America including Denver\, Toronto\, Montreal\, Newfoundland\, San Francisco\, Washington DC\, and Philly Sketchfests. He has performed in Vancouver and Toronto Fringe Festivals\, and is a co-winner of the ‘Dumbest of the Fest’ award at Denver Sketchfest 2025\, as part of ‘Andy Assaf and Vivek Srikanthan’ \nCAST: Vivek Srikanthan \n\nBIG OL’ MESS (Denver\, CO)\nBig Ol’ Mess is a sketch comedy group from Denver\, CO. They have performed in shows and festivals across North America\, with appearances in New York\, Toronto\, Philadelphia\, Austin\, Montreal\, Newfoundland\, Portland\, Dallas\, and Washington D.C. They are also the winners of the $10\,000 Grand Prize winner of the 2025 Cam Wyllie Sketch Comedy Invitational. Big Ol’ Mess shows have a loose\, improvised feel that will leave you saying “that was so dumb\, I loved it”. Come see the dum-best live show in the world! \nOh and they’re the producers of this fest! \nCAST: Katie Congrove\, Connor Schuck

SUMMARY:Christie Buchele: Loose Threads
DESCRIPTION:What if stand-up comedy is secretly just practice for being a person? \nAfter 16 years of telling jokes and more than six years teaching other people how to tell theirs\, Christie Buchele has learned a few things about comedy\, life\, and bombing. \nLoose Threads is part stand-up show\, part comedy class\, and part live excavation. Christie pulls at the lessons hiding inside the craft of comedy: how to trust your instincts\, commit to a bad idea\, survive silence\, pay attention to what actually gets a response\, stop trying to control the room\, and figure out which parts of yourself are worth following even when you have no idea where they’re going. \nThere will be jokes. There will be lessons. There will probably be tangents. Come pull a thread and see what unravels.

Most of all\, you’ll have FUN! \n\nPrerequisite:  A Completed 101 or Education Director Approval\nStudent Showcase:  Sunday\, November 22nd between 5pm-9pm\nInstructor: Asa Erlendson and Improv officially met in 2007 at Pitzer College in the group Without A Box. Things got hot and heavy when he co-founded a group called ImpRAWv in which he had a transcendent experience in an experiment called The Beehive (watch “My Dinner With Andre” to get the reference). When he moved back home to Denver in 2011\, Asa and Improv started going steady while at the Bovine Metropolis. First\, as a student\, and eventually as a coach and teacher. Things got really serious when he joined the group Governor Jack. With Governor Jack\, Asa was able to meet\, study with\, and perform with amazing improvisers from cities and schools all around the country while absconding to festivals in Denver\, and from New York City to Salt Lake City\, but no further West than that… yet. Since they first met\, Improv has introduced Asa to a variety of genres\, styles\, and forms. He can truly say he is a better person for knowing Improv. And even though he has messed around with sketch and has a growing friendship with stand-up\, his heart will always belong to Improv\, its community and all of its teachers and students.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:SERIES 1: Pilot Night (Series Title TBD): Episode 1
DESCRIPTION:SERIES 1 is a longform improvised television show performed live onstage. Each month\, our SERIES 1 cast creates a new episode\, exploring characters\, relationships\, and a world that becomes more and more familiar over time. Depending on the initial audience choices during Pilot Night or Episode 1\, the resulting season might be comedy\, drama\, horror\, romance\, absurdism\, or something that defies easy categorization. Following episodes will maintain the established identity of the series\, but the audience suggestion for that evening can take an episode in an unexpected direction. Neither the audience nor the performers know what happens next until it happens. And don’t worry\, there will be recaps. \n\nAt Pilot Night\, the audience becomes the Network Executives. You provide suggestions that inspire two improvised pilots\, then decide which one gets greenlit. This is your chance to help set an entire season in motion\, and give yourself a show to share with your friends. The winning pilot becomes an ongoing improvised television series\, with a new episode created live onstage each month. The series might be a comedy\, drama\, horror\, romance\, absurdism\, or some glorious collision of genres. \nCome see the pilots. Choose the series. Then come back every month to see what happens next.

SUMMARY:Joke Starter
DESCRIPTION:  Every comedian starts with the same spark\, a single prompt\, idea\, image\, phrase\, or question\, and takes it in a completely different direction. \nThe audience gets to watch as one starting point becomes a dozen wildly different jokes\, stories\, and perspectives\, revealing just how differently comedic minds work. 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.

SUMMARY:AllFours Comedy
DESCRIPTION:AllFours Comedy is a stand-up show. Live stunts\, circus tricks\, kung fu fighters bursting through walls in the middle of sets. AllFours Comedy is a stand-up show. Live births performed on stage. 6’9 babies singing Frank Sinatra\, sopping wet fresh out of the womb. All FoursComedy is a stand-up show. Corner shows where you can get $5 haircuts\, where people are playing bingo live\, where a man sings Stain’d to himself in a corner with his back turned to the audience the whole time. AllFours Comedy is a stand-up show. Magic\, Santa Claus\, Hollywood guests\, sketches\, clowns in the audience\, videos on the screens and also standup from some of the best local and touring acts in Denver — because All Fours Comedy is a standup show. \nAllFours Comedy is an exciting and inventive stand-up showcase developed by Denver comedians Evan Joe\, Jake Tupitza\, Adam Gilliland and Spaghetti Jake. Created as a space to feature up-and-coming comedic talent and platform experimental ideas\, including elements of sketch\, clown\, improv\, body horror and musical comedy. \nTaking inspiration from The Eric Andre Show\, 1980’s B-Horror\, and psilocybin mushrooms\, local and nationally touring acts perform amidst a hurricane of surrealist prop humor and psychedelic freak-outs. While on paper\, this may sound chaotic and over-stimulating (and it is) the result is 75 minutes of wall to wall laughter and groundbreaking experimentation on the form. \nThe All Fours Comedy Show has featured headlining acts such as John Novosad\, Matt Cobos\, Hannah Jones\, Gabby Guttierez-Reed\, and many others. \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.

SUMMARY:Comedy Church Presents: Halloween
DESCRIPTION:A Comedy Show with an (un)Holy Twist \nThis isn’t your typical stand-up; it’s one part live comedy and one part fully satirical church service. Hosted by former deeply-religious believers turned unapologetic non-believers\, Comedy Church finds humor in faith\, doubt\, and everything in between. Yes\, the hosts are atheists—and yes\, according to their former beliefs\, they’re probably destined to burn in hell. Long term? A bummer. Short term? A very funny comedy show. \nFor Spooky Season\, the Comedy Church crew offers special expertise and insight on all things Witchcraft and the Occult because\, you know\, we used to be the ones studying Satan and trying to fend off witchcraft! This special event combines the classic standup comedy format with a late-night-style guest interview\, along with musical interludes. With 90 minutes of original material specifically focused on the spooky and Satanic\, this is a show unlike any other! \nComedy Church celebrates laughter and shared experiences\, and welcomes folks from every religious background and all walks of life.
