Whose Live Anyway?

Alex Theatre, 216 N Brand Blvd, Glendale. June 6th. Whose Live Anyway? — the improv comedy show built on the format that Whose Line Is It Anyway? made the most-watched improv comedy in television history — bringing the completely improvised ninety-minute show to the Alex Theatre for a night with no script and no ceiling.

Improv at this level works because the format is a constraint and the performers are exceptional. The scenes are audience-driven and unrepeatable — the suggestion you shout from row seven becomes the material for something that has never existed before and will never exist again. The Alex Theatre is the right setting: a genuine performing arts venue with the sightlines and acoustics to handle great improv when it's working at full volume.

Tickets at ticketmaster.com. June 6th in Glendale. Whose Live Anyway? has been touring for years and shows no sign of settling into a formula, because improv is incapable of formulas by definition. Come with suggestions ready. Come ready to laugh at something being invented while you watch it. The June 6th show at the Alex will happen exactly once.
