That's right, we make it up as we go along! This is comedy on the edge. Improv is theatre's guerrilla movement, sneaking in late at night to poke fun at all that is stuffy and stupid in the world at large--whatever's on the audience's mind is our raw material that evening. Laughing Gas combines improvisation with music, sketches, news and commercial parodies and more, in a wild, non-stop, 90-minute show.

Some groups, like Chicago's Second City, branched out into sketch comedy, and many of their performers moved on to fame and fortune on SCTV and Saturday Night Live. The rest, as they say, is history... for the history of Laughing Gas, click here.
