About this Event
Inspired by the classic improv form, the Living Room, "The Schmooze" brings folks together for unfiltered kibitzing, kvetching, and improv comedy. With a charismatic cast of experienced comedians, ages 69+, you'll be hooked by their chutzpah.
This event will include a performance by the cast of The Schmooze as well as some interactive improv games with audience participation.
Featuring Lily Friedman, Richard Gould, Janet Klein, Barbara Newman, Merle Rubine, and Robert Wolfson
Directed and Hosted by Elana Fishbein
