MOCKUMENTARY NOW!

PAWN TAKES QUEEN
Pawn Takes Queen is a high-energy, character-driven improv ensemble that turns audience suggestions into sharp, surprising scenes. Expect bold choices, quick pivots, and comedy that moves like a chess match — strategic, unpredictable, and always one move ahead.
CAST: TJ Penrod, Wendy Penrod, Rev McLean
---
BOOZE & THE BOYS
Booze & The Boys is a Cleveland-based comedy trio that performs narrative long-form improv. Their shows are fast-paced, character-driven, and deeply committed to the bit — whatever that bit may be.
CAST: Katie Booze-Mooney, Ryan Santa, Alex Shaver

BASEMENT DOCTORS
The Basement Doctors are a Columbus-based improv ensemble known for their grounded, character-rich long-form work. They mine the mundane for gold, finding the absurd in the everyday and the human in the ridiculous.
CAST: Cass Jacoby, David Luzader, Brian McCarthy, Connor Schuck, Jill Tsai
