Are there Improv Classes in Kansas City?

[Fortunado]

I have Googled and found nothing. I know this place is a comedy wasteland but I want to start up again, it drives my writing.

Suggestions? I guess online extension courses don't work!

Fortunado, Are you living in Kansas City, KS or Kansas City, MO? I would really like to help you virtually look, but in order to do that I need to know what state you are currently living in?

The two Kansas Cities are right next to each other...

I met one or two people from this outfit once: http://www.comedycity.cc/

They were nice.

Edited. Apologies.

Comedy City is a great group of folks. Shortform is their bread and butter but they have ventured into longform in the past two or three years. They have a wonderful space with two theaters-- a giant one for their competitive shortform, and a black box for their more organic work.

Meet Pete Calderone. He's a fantastic guy.

Thank you all. I found a troupe once whose info is no longer accessible and their big thing was "clean" comedy ie, no sex, etc....and after looking at that I kinda gave up.

DON'T GIVE UP!!!

Here is a KC-centric improv forum complete with information about local troupes, classes, and auditions!

I'll also throw in an endorsement for the fine folks at Comedy City. Also, try the weird popcorn at the bar across the street from them.

There is also Improv Gym. Drop-in classes every Thursday, plus a targeted workshop on the first Saturday of the month.
