"Upbeat", "fresh-faced", and "brimming with youthful enthusiasm"

These are phrases you will never, ever hear applied to Austin's You're Not My Real Dad. A troupe with over 60 years of stage experience between them. Embittered by experience, railroaded by relationships, down by law, YNMRD are never going to see thirty again, and they're pissed about it. They get their inspiration from old LPs and their dinner from the gas station. This is improv with authority from the last people you'd want to have any:

John Ratliff (The Diamond Smugglers, The Glamping Trip)
Asaf Ronen (Ka-Baam!!, Confidence Men)
Tom Booker (The Annoyance Theater, Confidence Men)
Dave Buckman (Boom Chicago, The Frank Mills)

WITH DIFFERENT OPENING ACTS EACH NIGHT INCLUDING:

SQUABBLES. Dan Kerrigan and Wyatt Tall air their dirty laundry and issue each other vengeful challenges while trying to entertain.

iSCREAM SANDWICH. The Harold is a vaunted and mysterious but little-attempted longform improv format. iScream Sandwich is a daring team of improvists that include Heidi Caldwell, Bryan Cruz, Erica Lies, Carissa McAtee and Marv Pratt, taking on the Harold in a fight to the death. Will iSS's absurd characters and twisting story arcs tame the Harold's knashing teeth in a feat of improv Zen, or will these five brave comedians plunge into its watery abyss, never to be heard from again?
