Extreme Improv
Extreme Improv is improv comedy mixed with pain – air soft pellet gun shots, shock collars, mouse traps snapping on bare feet, and more. Heck, after you see the show, you may never see Icy-Hot ™ again without thinking about Extreme Improv. And although that description may not at all sound funny, the standing-ovation sell-out audiences would shout it is.
The cast includes many accomplished performers: Robert Bapst, Derek Hagan, Doug Heberle, and creators AJ Schraeder and Bob Beshere. All of them qualify as being very funny and a little crazy (some more than others).
Jennie Stencel, Idiot Box Comedy Club owner and WXII-TV morning traffic reporter indicated, “Extreme Improv is now one of the most popular special events at the Idiot Box.” “We would do it more often, but it’s a heck of a mess to clean up and plus I wanted the performers to heal up between performances,” Stencel added
