"One of the most impressive and absurd long-form improv routines in the city." - TimeOut NY

A fast-paced, action-packed improv show with two fire teams.

Join comedy legend Jerry Goldwater and TV sensation Richie Ruby in a live taping of their panel talk show. Indulge in the 70s hottest takes, standup, and the clarinet stylings of band-leader Brewster St. James.

An innovative audio-infused improv show featuring live sound design, games, and scenes. Everything in the show is inspired by voicemails from our listeners. Some of whom call and tell us what we want to hear and others who tell us things very far from it… We stylize those listener voicemails into radio-themed audio prompts which are played live for our improvisers who immediately create scenes that are unpredictable, unrehearseable, and unscriptedable!

Each show in this series is inspired by a musical theme - the playlist could be any genre, from punk, to country, to gospel, to the Original Broadway Cast recording of your favorite musical. Come hear what musically inspired sketches "College Radio" has composed this month!

Common Ground is a sketch team who recently found out they have nothing in common. Join them on their quest to relate to each other through shared hopes, dreams and maybe even... love?

Sketch comedy that changes shape every show!

Join The PIT’s very first improv show EN ESPAÑOL! What will IMPROV EN ESPAÑOL! look like? Our Spanish speaking cast will perform a 40 minute set along with a guest that DOES NOT know Spanish.

Fresh (adjective): having original strength, vigor, quality, taste, etc. Colloquially: a term to describe that which is good, stylish, and attractive. All acts in the FRESH BAKED variety show meet these qualifications. They’re also hot and funny and you definitely want to see them perform.

It’s a non-denominational Christmas spectacular! The most December time of the year. Come have some holiday cheer in this sketch show brought to you by Baby Dangerous, a newly christened team from an amalgamation of PIT comedians.
