ABOUT MET HOUSE COMEDY TEAMS
The Comedy Pigs: Established in 1993, The Comedy Pigs are the region’s longest-running short form improv troupe. They perform on the first Friday and Saturday of every month. Come join them for hilarious shows filled with a series of fun short-form improv games. No two shows are ever the same!
Oh Crit!: Roll for initiative! Oh Crit performs improv comedy fused with Dungeons & Dragons on the third Friday of every month. Join them as they embark on an adventure of twists and turns, bizarre characters, and an occasional epic failure, all with the help from the audience, and the whim of an unforgiving 20-sided die!
That’s What She Said: That’s What She Said is an all female improv team. Specializing in long form improv, these ladies spin a hilarious story. They start with inspiration from the women in the lives of the audience and then blend in funny stories of their own. You won’t want to miss what they have to say!
Key City Improv: Key City was formed out of MET Ensemble School members during the holiday season of 2021, where the best presents were friendship, improv and the Nintendo Switch. This group specializes in short form improv and is ready to bring audiences all the laughs.
OFF KEY: Love musicals but wish you could see something new? Enjoy comedy and live music? Check out OFF KEY: An Improvised Musical. This show is a fully improvised musical based on audience suggestions. Accompanied by a full band that plays a unique improvised score, audiences won’t want to miss it!
