Promising to be a fun-filled hour of hilarious, unscripted scenes and sketches, the Comedians of the Canyons Improv show will take place at 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8, on the Valencia campus in Pico Hall, Room 202. Though the ages of the performers will span a rather wide range, the group is comprised entirely of College of the Canyons students. “These are students who have gone beyond the basics of Improv and are ready for their hour before an audience,” said course instructor Allan Trautman, who will also serve as the evening’s host. “Each scene is made up on the spot from audience suggestions. There is no script and no safety net, so it’s both exhilarating and hilarious to watch.” In just its second semester of existence, the Comedians of the Canyons have already performed for standing-room-only audiences. “I suggest you get there early to get a good seat,” said Trautman. “The ‘splash zone’ in the front row is especially fun.” For more information about the Comedians of the Canyons Improv show please contact Paul Wickline at (661) 362-3152.
