Ever thought about trying improv, but weren’t sure where to start? This is your sign!
Our classes blend the best improv traditions from Reckless Theatre, Upright Citizens Brigade, and The Annoyance into a fun, welcoming, and fast-moving experience that’s built for beginners and performers alike. You’ll laugh a lot, take creative risks, and walk away with real skills you can actually use on stage (and in life).
Classes are led by TJ Del Reno, a 20+ year improv veteran and former house team performer at Reckless Theatre, UCB NY, and The P.I.T., with curriculum curated by some of the most respected teachers in the improv world —Christian Capozzoli (The Groundlings, Reckless, The Magnet, UCB NY), Tom Kelley (Reckless Theatre, Ernest Improv), and TJ himself.

What happens when real life gets weird? We turn it into comedy.
TJ Del Reno and his NYC veteran improviser friends (from UCB Theater, Reckless Theatre, and The Magnet) invite one brave audience member to share a strange, awkward, or downright bizarre day from their life. Then, without a script, they transform that true story into a fully improvised comedy show, created right before your very eyes.
No two shows are ever the same. Each performance features a brand-new interview, a rotating cast of top-tier improvisers, and comedy that only exists once!
Live. Unscripted. Completely unpredictable.
Join us every Second Saturday of the month at 8:00 PM in Beacon, NY
