LOVE IS IMPROVISED Returns To Judy’s Beat Lounge For Four-Week Run
Improvised comedy series inspired by reality dating television returns following a sold-out engagement.
By: A.A. Cristi Dec. 15, 2025
Following a sold-out finale last September, Love Is Improvised will return to Judy’s Beat Lounge for a four-week run.
The one-hour improvised comedy draws inspiration from reality dating television, using audience input to shape each performance’s characters, relationships, and outcomes.
Performed by an ensemble of improvisers, the show follows participants through familiar reality-TV milestones including pod-style dates, honeymoons, shared luxury apartments, family encounters, and a culminating decision day.
Each performance is created live, with audience feedback guiding the evolving narrative and interpersonal dynamics.
The production blends Chicago-style long-form improvisation with the structure and tropes of contemporary dating shows, exploring questions of connection, commitment, and performance within relationships. No two performances are the same.
Performances run Thursdays in February at 8:30pm in Judy's Beat Lounge. Tickets on sale now!
