Marcus & Friends

The Teleprov Experience

About the show:

Think you know what online improv is like? Think again. 

Since 2020, Marcus has been building a different kind of online improv experience. From the moment audience members enter the digital theater, to the way the show is produced behind the scenes, everything has been shaped to make online performance feel alive and connected. 

This is not trying to replace in-person theater, and it is not trying to be a Netflix special. It sits somewhere between live theater, broadcast production, and a bunch of ridiculous humans making each other and you laugh from miles apart. In this show, Marcus explores the art form of Teleprov with some of his powerhouse improviser friends. 

Come witness real-time improvised comedy created by artists who may not be in the same room, but are absolutely in the same moment.

Moment Improv's Teleprov Experience

Definitely not a Youtube show experience and defiantly not a zoom experience. But what is it? 

Moment Improv Theatre's Digital Entertainment Venue replicates many of the aspects of a physical in-person theatre experience, but from home. Mix and mingle before, in-between, and after shows, see and hear fellow audience members laugh and engage with performers and even be a part of the show, all in real time. 

It's kind of like an interactive watch party, but so much more. 
Come be in the Moment with us and find out what means to you.
