National Comedy Theatre (NCT), San Diego's professional Improv Comedy Theatre located in the Mission Hills neighborhood of San Diego since 1999 announces its 5,000 show in San Diego! NCT has been an active part of the San Diego arts scene for over 18 years.

NCT Artistic Director, Gary Kramer shared, "This has been an incredible ride and we are thankful to our patron family for being a part of it. They've made our collaborative brand of improvised comedy the longest continuously running show in San Diego history. This 5,000th show celebration is going to be a night of improv hilarity - with a major focus on the audience. We're looking forward to a memorable night followed by an after party at the wine bar, 57 Degrees - that hopefully no one remembers...."

The Show - 7:30pm - NCT- 3717 India Street

Long known as San Diego's professional Improv Comedy Theatre, NCT has been entertaining locals with their unique brand of interactive, high-octane improv comedy for over 18 years. The 5,000th show in San Diego will combine EVERY scene they have EVER done into 2 hours.

High speed.

Or - alternatively - it will be a night of improvised interactive word play games and surprises...focused on the NCT audience - the ones who are ultimately guilty of allowing this crazy humor to flourish.

FIVE. THOUSAND. TIMES.
