GYM CRUSH (NEW YORK, NY)
You see us on the treadmill, doing squats, lifting stuff – we’re your Gym Crush, and you can’t take your eyes off of us. Let’s get sweaty, have some fun, and work it out. Gym Crush is made up of seasoned improvisers who have all trained at the Upright Citizens Brigade in NYC, including a few house performers at UCB. We have competed in UCB’s Cage Match on the main stage and several festivals, including Steelstacks and Newark Improv Fest. We frequently host and perform in shows in venues all over NYC. Gym Crush is a fast-paced, fun-loving team and we perform a loose version of the Slacker form.
