What is improv comedy?
|
Improv is different than standup comedy. In a Stone Soup show we perform a series of skits or “games” with a group of improvisors. In improv everything is made up on the spot with suggestions from the audience. If you are familiar with the television show “Whose Line is it Anyway?” then you have seen improv.

Are Stone Soup shows ok for kids?
|
We try and keep our shows “PG-13 friendly” but hey, it’s improv so your mileage may vary. We often have kids 10+ at our shows, they seem to enjoy themselves or else are very diplomatic.

I want to learn how to improvise! Do you have classes?
|
Stone Soup does not currently conduct classes. There are many options for improv classes in the East Bay. Many of our improvisors attend, or have attended classes at Berkeley Rep. Other classes available in the East Bay include Berkeley Improv, Magic Jester Theater, Pan Theater, and Rumor Improv (Contra Costa).

I bought tickets online and can’t attend, can I get a refund?

We can either refund your ticket (but our vendor charges a fee so it will not be a full refund), or we will credit you full price for another show. Contact us to let us know.
