About this Event
The One-Off is an electric evening of improv comedy featuring performers you may never see again; at least in this combination! Our guests this month are Rachel Bouton and Patrick Williams, who are each teaching individual workshops at our theater during the day. Watch their skills at work in this innovative showcase; they will be joined by LIP resident teacher/coach, Tom Kelley!

BYOB
$12 at the door
Due to the size of our theater, there is a quick turnover time between our scheduled shows. If you purchase tickets to both events on Saturday evening, you will be asked to wait outside during the break so that the next team can warm up before the audience returns.
LANCASTER IMPROV PLAYERS is an intimate black box venue located in the heart of Lancaster City. With a capacity of approximately 30 guests, that means this Lancaster comedy club is entirely front row. Not a nosebleed in sight! After all, BYOB is just a drink special you never get tired of.
