THEATRE + COMEDY

Rudyard's presents Rogue Improv. Rogue Improv is a “long form” improv comedy ensemble out of Houston, Texas performing every Thursday (except last Thursday of the month) beginning @ 8:00 p.m @ Rudyard’s British Pub @ 2010 Waugh Dr.

Rogue, formerly of Massive Improv (2006-2009), was founded in January 2010. In each show, the Rogue ensemble take a suggestion from the audience and uses it as inspiration in creating a wholly improvised, unscripted, 25-30 minute continuous, connected, theatrical universe. Accordingly, each show has never been done before and will never be done again. Rogue also incorporates audience participation by way of “short form” games in between performances.

What is Long Form Improv? As opposed to “short form” improv, which consists of short, quick, on the spot games (think Whose Line Is It Anyway), “long form” is in the style of Chicago’s Improv Olympic theater, focused on developing character, story and relationship so that the audience becomes invested in the work being done on stage. The comedy springs from connections, layers of meaning, and enjoyment of character. Rogue concentrates on “grounded” improv that instinctively creates the funny through truthful initiation and response.

For just five dollars ($5.00) you can catch two versions of a uniquely formed art, long form improv. Rogue’s show is a variety of performance art where we take a suggestion, move around in our brains, find some interpretations, and share it …with you in the form of scenes. Also, it might be funny.
