Improv Death Match One Year Anniversary Show

Mahall's 13200 Madison Ave, Lakewood | Thursday June 20th | 8:30pm | $5 cash or card at the door

Improv Death Match is celebrating its one-year anniversary as Mahall’s premiere monthly comedy show. Improv Death Match summons three improv troupes in a monthly competition on the Mahall’s 20 Lanes main stage, highlighting the stars of Cleveland’s burgeoning improv community.

 The monthly show, created & hosted by Sam Dee, voted one of the funniest women in Ohio by Cleveland.com, began in June 2018. The anniversary of Improv Death Match will be June 20^th at 8:30p.m. Each troupe performs a 20-minute set based on an audience suggestion and one prevails as the evening’s winner. Each round is presented under the watchful eye of the sword wielding executioner, while the spectators watch on the edge of their seat to witness their last unscripted words. Three troupes enter but only one can leave in this outlandish battle of wit.

Each show kicks off with an "open jam" inviting audience members and improvisers to perform on stage with short-form improv games.   

On June 20^th at 8:30pm come for a night of laughs with:

·         This Improvised Life, Cleveland based Improv pulling from live storytelling.

·         Funemployed, a long-form group from Lakewood created from Michael Busch classes

·         The Houde Rats, from The Houde School of Acting on the East Side
