West of Shake Rag is Tupelo's very own Improv Comedy Troupe! What is improv? Improv can be thought of as "on the spot" or "off the cuff" spontaneous comedy driven by audience suggestion, and sometimes participation! In the tradition of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Thank God You're Here, and NPR's Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! no two shows are ever quite the same, but are sure to have you laughing! ALL THE SHOWS March 27th, 2011 Greetings, Shakerfans! West of Shake Rag has been busy busy busy since the start of the new year! We've been working on movies, business, festivals, and most importantly, our comedy! We've been developing more longform formats as well as trying out new games, as some of you have seen. We were really pleased with the way The Blues went at our last show- thanks for helping us along with your suggestions, as always! Our next show is all about improving our art. Every year, the Shakers take a trip to Chicago for the Chicago Improv Festival, where we watch and observe other troupes, interact with fellow comedians, and connect with improv people from all around the world! It's always really exciting because we come back with fresh ideas for new games and itching to try out new techniques we learn while there. Carlton and Marley are hosting the next show, where we'll be not only showcasing some of our favorite games and performing a Shakespeare for you (that's one of the things we learned in Chicago, by the way!), but we'll be raising money to help pay for our trip. Come out and support Tupelo's own improv comedy troupe, and get a night of laughs in return! We hope to see you there! Until next time, Shakerfans!
