Silverbacks Improv Theatre is Lafayette’s very own comedy group, whose productions feature a mix of improvisation and storytelling. Formed in 2012 as the Stage Monkeys, the cast consists of comedians who have trained and performed in states across the country, with a combined improv experience of over 50 years!
The troupe’s style of comedy is quick and witty. Taking cues from the audience and random topics, the team acts out scenarios that have no defined start and no defined end. Whatever pops up becomes the show.
The Silverbacks regularly perform at Theatre 810 and Cité des Arts. During tonight’s Second Saturday ArtWalk, however, the crew will make their first appearance at Jefferson Street Pub, performing a set of “Whose Line is it Anyway”-styled games called short form games. Audience members can expect fast-paced and silly game concepts, many of which will rely on the audience’s input to move the action forward.
As a special treat for the audience, the Silverbacks will hold a drawing for Valentine’s Day themed gift baskets – one for Singles, and one for Couples. Don’t miss out on this fun-filled event! The show begins tonight at 8 PM with a $5 cover charge.
