A club for improv and humor
...I did not want to go another minute without expressing our appreciation of your Improv performances this past Saturday at the Student Union. We attended last year and was impressed, and you were even better this year. We were happy to see so many new faces and so much diversity in your performances.
I'm looking forward to your workshop this spring and if it doesn't conflict with anything already on my calendar, I'll be there with perhaps three or more friends in tow. Please know that we're all "old" folks, but we do NOT believe in the old adage "you can't teach an old dog new tricks." We are ready and willing to learn.

Many advisors wrote to tell me “OU Improv
– it was hilarious; loved the Improv; Improv
– what fun; I really appreciated that it was OU
students participating, giving us yet another chance to
see our students in a different light.”
-Grettie Bondy,Co-Chair, PACAA 2005 Retreat
I had the chance to see OU Improv perform at a recent
conference and the group was fantastic. We took a group
of kids to Dallas last spring to see the Comedy Sports
improvisational group for our son's birthday and it was
good - but not nearly as polished or professional as OU
Improv. The OU Improv performers have taken the time to
hone their skills and develop a witty program.
-Becky Heeney, Director OU Graduation Office
Improv comedy takes intelligence and quick wit, not
to mention guts. OU improv was a great
introduction...they included everybody and made it
fun.
-John Hilbert, Southern Oaks Library, Teen LIbrarian,
Metropolitan Library System
I loved having OU Improv perform at my library. The
group was professional, punctual, and courteous. They
were hilarious and worked well with the teens at the
program.

"…a new type of comedy…"
- Rocky Mazzone, Mechanical Engineering Senior
"O.U. Improv! has experienced a 50 percent attendance
increase over last year's average of 100 people per
show…"
- Julianna Parker, The OU Daily
"I have learned many techniques from O. U. Improv!
over the year and a half I have been watching, things you
don't learn at "normal" functions. For example, some
things I've learned are: how to manage situations you
would not see everyday, that your father is really your
brother/mother/sister and the Door Way to Hell lies
behind the weather map! O.U. Improv! is packed with
educational content and raw talent that keeps me wishing
for more!"
- Jamie White, O.U. Senior
"O.U. Improv! is inventive, talented, and
resourceful! What a great night!"
- Kevin Caliendo, English Grad Student
"I liked the Irish drinking song best. The players
just have so much fun with it."
- Leslie Bares, Anthropology Sophomore
"O.U. Improv! kept its audience laughing Saturday
night in Oklahoma Memorial Union with its improvisational
comedy show, "The Improvibles"…"
- Courtney Roach, The OU Daily
"jocular… exciting… better than my
video games."
- Alex Miner, First-Year Composition Instructor
"It was really funny."
- Karess Moore, University College Freshman
