Basement Games: Comedy Inspired by Tabletop RPGs
A night of Baltimore's best improv comedy in the theater at Riverside Third Space!
Join Highwire Improv for a high-energy night of comedy with some of the city's best comedians.
Never been to an improv show? It's spontaneous theater, off-the-cuff laughs, and a real good time! You'll get to see some of Baltimore's best improv comedy troupes do what they do best!
Our lineup - show starts at 7pm ET:
Whatever This Is are a four person team comprised of improv experts who can perform any form, real or imagined. They use their proprietary Cone of Silence technology to devise a brand new show in front of the audience's eyes.
Babeprov is an all female group that takes the stage with a flirty deconstruction. They always serve a flawless show for all you trauma soaked babies looking for a little drama to get some joy in this life. They’ve brought their own brand of glamour to the stage and screen since 2021, performing together in Baltimore & NYC!
Oh, Crit! is the Mid-Atlantic region's long running improv group inspired by the popular tabletop role-playing game, Dungeons & Dragons! From monthly live shows to streaming original content, Oh Crit! has done it all.
What is an improv show, exactly?
Improv is live theater created spontaneously by the performers with the inspiration of the audience. Unless noted otherwise, it’s a comedy show, made even more exciting, intriguing, and hilarious by the fact that none of it is pre-scripted! At an improv show you’ll see a wide range of creative and fascinating humans perform a highwire act by making comedy out of thin air! It can take many forms, including short competitive games, slice of life scenes, and full length sitcom or movie style performances!
A Highwire Improv show is truly a once in a lifetime performance, never done before and never to be done again!
