Sunday Night Improv is a "unique" (Time Out New York), "wonderful" (Backstage), "hilarious" (Newark Star-Ledger) comedy jam session -- continues its run of Sunday performances on the Upper West Side at the Soter/Lee Blackbox Theater at 78th Street and Broadway.
The "jam," which began in 1992, mixes and matches experienced improvisers from a wide variety of successful New York City improv troupes. The fluctuating cast members are all alumni of – or current performers at – such groups/theater companies as Chicago City Limits, First Amendment, The Unusual Suspects, The PIT, and UCB Theater. Regular performers include Tom Carrozza, Chris Griggs, Kurt Fitzpatrick, Laurel Sturrock, Todd Cowdery, Kelly Stevenson, Larry Bell, Carl Kissin, Linda Hill, and Tom Soter as "The Emcee."
Notes:
Ask for Tom Soter's class when arriving at the building.

I was a little concerned I never did this before in my life it was a little different but I put myself out there and I think I did a good job and I hope I brought something to the class also believe me this was out of my box for me but I did it for me to come from Cleveland Ohio and go into a warehouse of the building and meet people that I never met before or knew nothing about an expose myself I did it and I might be different from other people but I did it and I will go back and I will use this site again

We LOVED this class!!! Visiting new York on vacation, we decided to take this class as a family and it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences we have ever had! Thanks to all the “regulars” who made us feel so at home. If you are thinking about taking this class, stop thinking and do it!
