On Saturday, July 18, from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Martha’s Vineyard Performing Arts Center in Oak Bluffs, five members of Bluebird Improv will perform their hilarious brand of long-form improvisational comedy. This troupe includes some of the best improvisers on the planet, brought together by a shared passion for making people laugh. Each performance is fully improvised, based upon conversations with the audience.

Hailing from Chicago, Bluebird Improv is a group of legendary comedians who tour the world, performing shows that are each once-in-a-lifetime experiences. 

Scheduled to Appear:

Tim Meadows: Saturday Night Live legend and Mean Girls star

Matt Walsh: Two-time Emmy nominee from HBO’s Veep

Shannon O'Neill: Upright Citizens Brigade veteran known for Broad City, The Other Two, and High Maintenance

Brad Morris: Veteran of The Second City and Curb Your Enthusiasm

Joe Canale: A 30-year veteran of international improvisational comedy, including The Second City

Featuring some of comedy’s most recognizable faces from TV and movies, and sure to become your new favorites, Bluebird Improv was formed from a shared, (still) burning love for improvising and entertaining. 

But there are always a few other people who contribute just as much as the performers do: the audience! At the start of the show, a short conversation between the audience and the comedians inspires the spontaneous, unhinged, and beautifully hilarious comedy mayhem that ensues.

Each and every show is completely unscripted, and a uniquely satisfying live-comedy entertainment experience because each audience is different. If you don’t believe us, see two shows (though you may have to go off Island to catch another)!
