Sohn Zone - Rich & Rebecca SohnThe Sohn Zone is a half hour of comedy, improvised in form and content, from Second City, Annoyance and iO Chicago veterans, Rich and Rebecca Sohn.
This show is organic. They trust each other, the audience, improv, and the moment to find their form. Nothing is decided beforehand.
Rich and Rebecca Sohn met as improvisers in Chicago over 30 years ago. As long-time teachers, this duo show began when former students asked them to headline a new evening of improv. Students often expressed surprise at how different their teaching styles were and took to saying “you’re in the Sohn zone” when seeing the couple work together.
D.E.I.'s - Mo Munn & Ralph Hilaga
When two besties land jobs at a prestigious company, they discover they’re not there for their skills — they’re the token hires. What follows is an improvised journey of chaos, corporate jargon, and an earnest attempt to prove they’re more than just the diversity checkbox.
From the chaotic minds of Wellington improv duo Mo and Ralph, D.E.I.’s is a sharp, satirical, improvised workplace comedy about tokenism, identity, and the conundrums of modern day allyship. If you’ve ever wondered what happens when the diversity quota starts talking back — this is it.
As the Sohn Zone is improvised, we cannot guarantee the presence or absence of specific content or themes beyond what is in the description above. The show may contain mature themes and language, but not gratuitously. D.E.I.'s contains strong language and adult themes, and discussions of topics like racism, queerness, and tokenism. Some material may touch on lived experiences of marginalisation and may be confronting for some audience members.
Both shows may contain voluntary audience interaction, such as giving a suggestion for a scene.
