Improv is the enemy. Ashawnti and John are out to defeat it, but they can’t do it alone. Armed only with your text messages, your suggestions and your participation, this duo takes on a gauntlet of chaotic short form games designed to break their brains and bend their instincts. Every scene they complete is a point on the board. Every audience member is part of the mission. It’s thirty minutes of high-stakes, high-speed, audience-fueled comedy. Help them win.

“the HERd: Female Voices in Improv” is Athens’ first all-female improv ensemble — a dynamic group of women that bring the female experience on stage through comedy. With sharp humor, big heart, and the audience as our creative partner, we challenge gender stereotypes and celebrate the richness and diversity of women’s stories, in a bold, playful, and thought-provoking performance. Funny. Fearless. Female. Where women’s voices take the lead — unscripted.

Shaun Landry performs "The Good MS" a show filled with characters with stories to tell from the mind of Shaun Landry. Performed nationally and internationally since 2008.
