By: Julie Musbach Dec. 20, 2017
ImprovBoston rings in 2018 with a New Year's Eve marathon of six fully improvised comedy celebrations chocked-full of improvised scenes, quirky characters, and audience participation, guaranteeing 2017 is a year to remember. Then on New Year's Day, 100 comics take to the ImprovBoston stage for two minutes each to deliver their first new, never-before-told jokes of 2018 in "100 First Jokes."
ImprovBoston's all star cast delivers a laugh-til-it-hurts New Year's Eve comedy marathon in two acts, complete with party hats, favors, and interactive comedy countdowns. The family and all ages shows feature Boston's best family-friendly comedians. ImprovBoston's roster of New Year's Eve shows have a tradition of selling out every year, so comedy lovers are encouraged to purchase their tickets in advance.
"Our fast-paced, interactive comedy countdowns will create lasting memories while ringing in the new year with edgy, in-your-face laughs," says ImprovBoston Artistic Director Mike Descoteaux. Theater-goers will start the new year off right with a never-before-seen, improvised show whose elite cast members take hilarious risks and push comedy boundaries.
Tickets are available at ImprovBoston.com/nye.
On New Year's Day, 100 New England comics take to the ImprovBoston stage with less than 120 seconds each for their first new, never-before-told jokes of 2018 in "100 First Jokes." Fifty comics perform their edgiest new material at 7:30PM, and 50 more comics take to the stage at 9:30PM for an encore of gut-busting laughs.
"There's nothing quite like witnessing the birth of a brand new joke. Some are cute. Some are ugly. Some are brilliant. All are welcomed into the world on our stage in front of a live, packed audience," says ImprovBoston Artistic Director Mike Descoteaux. "Taking risks and laughing hard kicks off the year the ImprovBoston way."
