Funny, daring, and theatrical, featuring two performers willing to break your heart along the way. more
Improv Melbourne - Australia's premiere improvisation company, IM has appeared internationally in Belgium, Germany, UK, Canada, USA, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand, Norway, France and Sweden. They have many credits on Australian TV that are enigmatic to Americans. more
Bob Biggerstaff - Having appeared on HBO and Comedy Central, this self-deprecating "sports style" headliner was also a national finalist in Sierra Mist's "Search For the Next Great Comic." moreOmega 2 - Bill Arnett and Danny Mora have been performing together for over 15 years and actually appeared in Austin in the first three Big Stinkin' Improv Festivals in the mid 90s. After college they moved to Chicago where they studied under Del Close, Charna Halpern, Mick Napier and Noah Gregoropoulos, later becoming founding members of legendary iO harold team People of Earth. more

F.U.C.T. - The Fordham Underground Comedy Troupe got its start in 2002 performing on the Fordham Univ. campus, but soon exploded on to the NYC comedy scene selling out shows and winning competitions. Outrageous, crude, smart and over the top, this show was the talk of last year’s OOB. more
