River City Improv: 10 Years of Laughs *
Friday, February 6, 8:03 p.m., Fine Arts Center

River City Improv celebrates its 10th anniversary this year! RCI is a team of comedians who involve the audience in variou antics and are guaranteed to make you laugh. Their shows weave skits, games and songs with audience suggestions to create unique entertainment experiences for each show.

River City Improv continually strives to inhabit a peculiar spot in the comedic continuum: to be fun, funny, witty and sometimes sarcastic but never offensive or childish. Their mission is to "make people laugh and cheer in as many ways as possible, without being offensive."

Come to a show and laugh with us. We have a ticket saved just for you. And make sure to bring some creative suggestions!
