Improv Comedy Week / Feb. 14-19, 2012

NCCAF 2012 will feature over 70 improv comedy acts from all over the country. Here are a few highlights.

Emo Philips

Emo Philips has performed over 6000 shows since he first took the stage in 1976. Hailed as "the best joke writer in America" Emo's work has influenced Demetri Martin, Patton Oswalt and Mitch Hedberg. Emo returns to NCCAF for 'A Night of Improv with Emo Philips' on Friday 2/17. Emo will improvise with a group of Festival All-Stars, share stories for MISTER DIPLOMAT and guest with The Josh and Tamra Show.

The Chris Gethard Show

The Chris Gethard Show began as a stage show at the legendary Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in 2009. It quickly gained a cult following and a reputation for pulling off some bizarre stunts, among them: using Twitter to book Diddy as a guest, staging a show to make a depressed teenager from Ohio have the best night of his life, and pulling off a cross-country tour. Now Gethard comes to the Cat's Cradle for NCCAF 2012!

Two Man Movie

Death By Roo Roo's Neil Casey & Anthony Atamanuik perform a completely improvised movie. Period. It will blow your mind.
