Fish Sticks Comedy began in 2007, but continues to grow from its start with three comedians in Milwaukee to a national team with 19 comedians in Dallas, Milwaukee and soon adding additional comedians and teams in Atlanta and Denver. This type of growth and expansion just doesn’t happen as most improv groups stagnate and fade away — but the growing, active, and energetic professional improvisers that make up Fish Sticks enables us to better live out our vision for bringing people closer to each other and their communities through improv comedy. It’s one team focused on serving our show hosts and audiences well — and the results have been amazing.

To set things up for maximum impact, you would want to have quality audio and lighting. Audio would involve wireless over-the-ear or lapel mics for each comedian (we usually travel with 3-4 comedians) and one or two handheld mics (wired or wireless, doesn't matter) and often a connection for a computer for music cues or a keyboardist/musician. We can provide more detailed information following booking.

For lighting, a bright stage is best. Audience lighting can be lower, but because of the interactive nature of our shows, we will need to be able to see the audience for certain aspects of the show.

We can be flexible with staging, but the best staging will be a clear, rectangular area with about 10-12 feet depth and about 20 feet width. Bumpout areas can be worked with, but are not preferred. Raised stages work best. Usually there is no need to move everything off stage (i.e., drum kits, etc.).

If video projection is available and not needed for audience viewing (usually recommended for audiences over 750 or so), we have video loops that can serve as an attractive backdrop.
