Comedians Of The Canyons Hosting Semester’s Final Evening Of Improv

College of the Canyons’ student improv group, Comedians of the Canyons, is hosting the spring semester’s final show May 30.

The show is performed entirely by students enrolled in the college’s advanced improvisational performance theatre class, and has enjoyed “tremendous success” the past few years, according to a COC news release.

“The students really knocked the last performance out of the park,” said Matt Gourley, COC instructor and host of the show. “This time around, I’m looking forward to seeing what they’re going to do with more advanced, long-form improvisational challenges.”

Last month’s performance gave the students their first opportunity to apply the skills they’ve been learning in class in front of an audience, and attracted a standing-room only crowd of students and Santa Clarita residents.

“During each performance, scenes are made up on the spot using audience suggestions,” Gourley said. “There is no script and no safety net, which makes each performance both exhilarating and hilarious to watch… Don’t miss your last chance of the semester to see these talented students perform.”

The Comedians of the Canyons are scheduled to perform at 8 p.m. on May 30 in Pico Canyon Hall, Room 202, located on the college’s Valencia campus. The show is free and open to the public, but seating is limited.
