Improv! Improv!
Improv Comedy and Jazz
Join us for an evening of improv comedy and jazz you won’t forget. First watch musicians (Nancy and Jim Bierma, Matt French) play and sing original and popular jazz songs. Then see three veteran improvisors (Mikala Bierma, Julia Weiss, and Nora Neisen) explore the funniest parts of having a job with your Co-Workers’ Improv Show. Mikala, Julia, and Nora will make-up funny songs and lyrics with live jazz accompaniment. Oh yea, did I mention they are all part of the same family? Fun, Guaranteed!
