THE SHOW

Kick off Saturday's line-up with a trio of top teams! 

Dadvice are two middle-aged dads from Beaverton. Together they've made it to the finals of Friday Night Fights and performed at multiple venues in and around Portland. Ryan was a sketch comedy writer and Matt was a movie actor (Scream 3, Waiting for Guffman)

Sips is a transatlantic improv team who come together from LA and Dublin to have their distinct backgrounds fuse in unexpected ways, much like those fun accents everyone had in 1940's movies. Sips performs the Slacker, a form with no edits, which enables them to develop and connect disparate characters, surprising themselves along with the audience with how seemingly normal characters can turn out to be, frankly, WEIRD!

Sips is three veteran improvisers: Ben Cassil (UCB LA, WE Improv Teacher, WGIS); Luke Benson (TINY, Dropout Live), and Ross McCarney (Joe.ie). 

The Little Improv Theatre are Lilla Improteatern, a new improv theatre based in Stockholm, Sweden. Their ensemble creates improv comedy with heart, head and backbone with scenes that are funny, emotionally grounded and risk-taking. Inspired by European theatricality and American longform traditions, join them as they explore the balance between structure and spontaneity, finding comedy that grows from truth, relationships and bold choices.
