ELDERBERRY JAM IMPROV (CAMBRIDGE, MA)
ELDERBERRY JAM IMPROV is based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Billed as “The World’s Finest Vintage Improv!” We are a troupe of 8 experienced improvisers over the age of 50. Working diligently to prevent dementia, we playfully specialize in layering multiple short form games within an overarching longer form structure for maximal Improv fun! Our current show is called Chopped Improv, which is based on the Food Network series Chopped, but our basket of ingredients contains comedic challenges that are competitively structured into engagingly hilarious scenes. This uniquely challenging and highly entertaining Improv structure relies on audience participation in fun ways!
PRESS PLAY (WASHINGTON, DC)
One of Washington, DC’s longest running improv teams, we’ve been avoiding government shutdowns and spreading fake news since before the White House was a twinkle in POTUS’s eye, or 2011. Our show creates a world and explores the fun characters and wacky ways of that world. Our show will definitely make you laugh, and may even be worth a tweet or two.
