Celebrating their 20th anniversary this season, The EDGE Improv kicks off the holidays December 4! On the first Saturday of each month, the troupe presents an ingeniously improvised evening of on-the-spot comedy, all from audience suggestions. The troupe's riotous antics have earned a devoted community of followers, and have inspired rave reviews and commentary from audience and troupe members alike.

The EDGE enjoys a loyal following, and that established bond makes a difference in the quality of each show. "In some venues, you have to spend the first 10 minutes winning the audience over before things warm up," said player Susan MacPherson. "On Bainbridge Island, they go straight for the cliff from the start."

The EDGE troupe members include Ken Ballenger, Frank Buxton, John Ellis, Cynthia Lair, Susan MacPherson, Bhama Roget, Andrew Shields, Chris Soldevilla, and Matty Whitman. Visit www.theedgeimprov.com for video clips from past shows and visit The EDGE at www.bainbridgeperformingarts.org for tickets, bios, upcoming performances and more.
