We want to thank everybody that stopped by our booth today at Atomic Fall Fest in Oak Ridge. Our booth stayed busy today and I think that is great I just wish the rain had held off. But there's a lot of good stuff to come. We have announcements of our away games coming on Monday. So there's going to be plenty of opportunity to see improv comedy performed all around Oak Ridge over the days of October 8, 9 & 10. We also are offering an incredible slate of workshops and you can check those out at secretcityimprovfest.com/workshops.

So apparently we thought it was a good idea to invite 150+ improvisers to Oak Ridge and give them a stage to perform on.

This could go very well. 😂

Nearly 40 teams from 17 states are taking over the Historic Grove Theater for the Secret City Improv Comedy Festival, October 8–10.

Nothing is scripted. Nobody knows what’s going to happen. That’s kind of the point.

🎟️ Tickets start at $10 for Thursday or $20 for either Friday or Saturday

Come laugh with us. Or at us. We’re really not picky.
