Blacktop Comedy

I LOVE Blacktop Comedy!! Going to the Playground on Thursday evenings is fantastic! I get a chance to be on stage....or if I don't feel like it, I can just sit and watch. Then there are the Saturday night shows....if you don't like to laugh, don't go...but, I go because I live to laugh!!!!! Thanks Blacktop Comedy for helping me keep laughing! So, everybody, please check out Blacktop Comedy!!! You won't regret it.

What a wonderful place to learn, meet new people and make hilarious new friends!  Improv is one of those skills that makes everyone a better person, but what really shines about Blacktop are Paul and Betsaida's commitment to creating a strong sense of community and support in every single session/playground they facilitate.  They also foster a strong sense of community on social media, which is rare in this industry but very, very precious to those wanting to continue the conversation!

Whether you are interested in improving as an actor or would just like to try something new, everyone is welcome and everyone (no matter their skill level or how many times they've been to Blacktop) begins each playground as a blank slate.  You also don't have to step on stage at all if you don't want to, but it's so much fun that eventually everyone does!

I took the level 1 class and learned a lot about myself.  These instructors are astute!  Having previously trained with instructors from the American Conservatory Theater I must admit that I've gotten just as much food for thought from my visits to Blacktop. Such is the power of well-taught improv.

The shows are high energy and great fun as well!  I recommend bringing your loud laugh (or a lot of loud friends) because improv gets better and better with a rambunctious audience.  I'd rather not review their shows without attending more, but I had a blast when I went!

I hope you'll come play with me at the Thursday playground, it's such fun!

I went to my first improv class on Thursday, and went back to see a performance on Friday; everyone on staff is super warm and welcoming. The class was lots of fun, and the performance - wow, that's amazing where improv and go.
Thanks Paul and Betsaida!
