If they were a website they’d be Da Bomb.Com!

I wanted to do a fundraising performance for my competitive speech and debate team at Oakton community college. Through a friend of mine I was directed to the website of Improv unlimited and reached out to them. After that there was nothing short of the most professional people I have dealt with in show business in my life. Tom Porter in particular did a fantastic job of juggling the Nuance between the administration of my college and all of the people who were involved in pulling off the performance. He knew went to hit the gas and went to ease up on it and it made for a wonderful experience overall. The performance itself was great! They ran an hour long workshop for my speech and debate te nuance between the administration of my college and all of the people who were involved in pulling off the performance. He knew went to hit the gas and went to ease up on it and it made for a wonderful experience overall. The performance itself was great! They ran an hour long workshop for my improv comedy team on campus and we are still using the exercises they taught us today. They were funny and got the audience involved and overall the whole experience was a slam dunk. I highly recommend you hire Improv unlimited or any of the people from mediatainment. They are both funny and professional which is a fantastic combination.

Death by Champagne and Chocolate ( a fundraiser)

We anticipated doing an event with a different direction than most murder mystery dinners. We found that in Improv Unlimited. Staying true to our theme, Death by Champagne and Chocolate, they fashioned an audience interactive, improvisational mystery that was dramatic and well-crafted. They coordinated with sponsors and staff to enable proper timing of food and beverage service. They're comedic timing and quick wits were incredible. They are just super performers and just a real cool bunch of guys!!

Thanks Larry! It was our pleasure to work with you, and a cause as beneficial as the Scottish Rite.
