FAYETTEVILLE, WV (LOOTPRESS) – Scriptless in Seattle, a live improvised comedy group comprised mostly of young performers has added Fayetteville’s Historic Fayette Theatre to their fall 2023 series.
This is the group’s first trip to the state of West Virginia. This show has never been performed before and will never be performed again.
Every line, sound, and motion is made up entirely on the spot.
“This is not your typical improv comedy show,” says group manager Justin Folger. “We write multi-song musicals on the fly–never knowing when the music is going to start!”
Folger has been performing with and managing Scriptless in Seattle for 5 years.
“It’s special what we do because it’s never the same show ever. I’ve done four shows in one day before (In four separate states!) not one of them was even similar! That’s the beauty of improv, every show we put on is brand new. Every time.”
Scriptless in Seattle was founded in 2019 at a small talent show in North-East Ohio in the wings of the high school auditorium.
The rag-tag group of performers was approached by the emcees and asked, “What should we introduce you as?”
After much discussion, the group decided on a pun: “Scriptless in Seattle.”
Now, the group travels around the Midwest, Appalachians, and Mid-Atantic entertaining audiences of all ages.
“Fayetteville should expect high-quality family-friendly entertainment,” says Charlie Hubbell, a comedian with Scriptless in Seattle.
“We take suggestions from the audience and use them to create improvised musicals, film noirs, game shows, and we’ll even serenade individual members of the audience all composed on the spot!”
The group draws inspiration from the hit British and American TV show, ‘Whose Line Is it Anyway.’
Many of the sketches will be familiar to audience members familiar with the show. “If you like ‘Whose Line,’ you’re in for a real treat!” said Hubbell.
This fall tour includes the following stops:
September 16th – Middletown, Ohio
September 22nd – Clarksville, Tennessee September 23rd – Clarksville, Tennessee
September 24th – Cedarville, Ohio
October 19th – Rockville, Indiana
October 20th – Middleburg Heights, Ohio
October 21st – Fayetteville, West Virginia
November 4th – Loudonville, Ohio
Scriptless in Seattle fills a unique niche of family-friendly improvised sketch comedy, in settings unique to the craft.
