LITTLE FISH COMEDY PERFORMANCE
Friday, November 6
7:00-8:00pm
Capacity: 90
Cost: $15
Space: Room 103 / 105
Registration deadline: November 4
Join us for an evening of comedy and brain teasers as the little Fish lmprov Troupe entertains us. Audience participation adds to the hilarity. Read below the history of this clever and witty group.
Little Fish Comedy started as an accident in February of 2023 during rehearsals of a play called A Play that Goes Wrong! Buddy Ricker has been doing improv comedy for over 20 years, most of that done with a local improv troupe called Spontaneous Productions. Due to this fact and the fact that the director of the play, Steve Searl, had been in Spontaneous Productions, Steve asked Buddy to lead the cast of the show in improv warm-ups at the beginning of each rehearsal.
Buddy did that and the cast loved it. In April of 2023, as the play was winding down, it came up that maybe they could keep doing improv. So, Buddy sent out emails and scheduled and taught improv rehearsals. And the rest is history. Since then, a few members have joined and some have dropped out but the creative spark that makes Little Fish Comedy shine is still there. The current cast is: Buddy Ricker, Chad Allen, Andy Artley, Sam Temple, Kevin Chapman, Kiara Artley, Bryan Reed, Alex Ayers, Glynnis Lessing, Nat Wilson, Andie Moore, Ben Manthey
