New Orlean's Silent Sketch Artist Comes to ImprovBoston: One Night Only

"Mike Spara's face is one of our favorite things in comedy," declares Coalition Theater (Richmond, VA). Now Bostonians have a chance to experience the renown face and silent film-style of comedian Mike Spara, co-founder of The New Movement New Orleans.

Spara kicks off the East Coast tour of his acclaimed silent sketch show, Conversations with Body Language (SoundOff Fest, New Orleans Fringe, Hell Yes Fest, Richmond's 2nd Best Comedy Fest) for one night only on February 12th. Started as a loving update to Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, Conversations combines silent film sensibility with modern music and absurdity, to create a mix tape for the imagination.

Conversations with Body Language runs for 1-night-only on Friday, February 12 at 11PM. Tickets are $12, $10 students at the door and available online at improvboston.com
