Take the opportunity to say "I saw them before they were famous" as Extra Credit brings together students and teachers from Highwire's education program to show off their comedy skills. We also welcome Baltimore improv legends K&H to show the younguns how things are done around these parts.

Doors will open at 6:45 pm, show starts at 7 pm. Free and paid street parking is available throughout the area.

Fantastic drinks available all night!

What is an improv show, exactly?

Improv is live theater created spontaneously by the performers with the inspiration of the audience. Unless noted otherwise, it’s a comedy show, made even more exciting, intriguing, and hilarious by the fact that none of it is pre-scripted! At an improv show you’ll see a wide range of creative and fascinating humans perform a highwire act by making comedy out of thin air! It can take many forms, including short competitive games, slice of life scenes, and full length sitcom or movie style performances!

A Highwire Improv show is truly a once in a lifetime performance, never done before and never to be done again!
