 We are a long-form troupe that performs with 3-5 players. We perform a rotating slate of forms, though we are partial to Captain, Corporal, ENSIGN! (which we performed at BBIF 2004).
 Down in The Basement, we are committed (or at least we should be) to bringing you quality entertainment. Our shows are 100% original material (most of the time) that is inspired by our wonderful audiences through suggestions. We use your suggestions to inspire us as we go through a multitude of difficult and fun theatre games to build scenes for you! So, now sit back and enjoy! Remember: if you laugh and have fun tonight... go home and tell your friends. If not then just keep your #@&%$ mouth shut like your momma told you! xoxo, The Basement Players.
Choke Up, an improvised two-man show with Bill Cochran and Jon Karpinos, started in North Carolina in the summer of 2002. Originally coached by Zach Ward, the show had a successful run at Raleigh's ComedyWorx, several engagements at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and a slot at the 2004 Dirty South Improv Festival. This spring Dirty South Improv will present Choke Up at The Playground Theatre in Chicago. Choke Up creates a single scene in which each actor plays both his own, original characters and his partner’s. Karpinos and Cochran began improvising together over eight years ago as high school students in Chapel Hill, NC. The strength and depth of their own relationship allows them to flow in and out of each other’s characters and add nuanced layers to their scenework.
 Dad's Garage is a casual theatre in Atlanta where you can get a drink, sit with your friends, and watch award-winning Comedy Improv and never-before-seen plays. Theatre in America is often thought of as elitist and Dad's Garage is a perfect example of artists working to change that label. We do the kind of theatre we would want to see. Our improv shows are made up on the spot, our mainstage shows are all innovative and original, and our children's show is the only one of its kind being done. When we're on stage, there are few boundaries and hardly any rules. We believe in taking chances. The riskier, the better.
 5 long time friends and equal time improvers have banded together to bring you a comedy experience that you'll have a hard time forgetting, no matter how you try. Dabbling in sketch comedy, slowly perfecting the art of the improvised serial, occaisonally known for orchestrating public pranks, and the self proclaimed masters of so called "Medium Form," Diversionary Tactics is more than an improv group, and even more than a comedy troupe.
Let us show you what's so fun about being female! That's right, Atlanta's only all-female comedy troupe is bringing you their own brand of irreverent improv. Women of wit, jezebels of jokes, harlots of humor – whatever you want to call us, we're GLOC. Our inspiration was a chance meeting at the Funny Women's Fest in Chicago. In Atlanta, we were located only miles apart, however it took a trip to Chicago to see how close we really were. We'll show you that sisterhood is beautiful, sisterhood is powerful, but most of all, it's funny!
 Improv Inferno presents: The X Show, experimental improv gone horribly wrong. The X Show is fast, raucous and never the same twice. Taking a minimum of audience suggestions, The X Show launches into a series of interrelated scenes, which branch off in unexpected and unanticipated ways. The audience is often drawn into the performance: at one show, someone had their mullet cut against their will, at another a young man in a wheelchair got up and walked through the power of improvisation. The X Show is uncensored, unbelievable and undeniably funny.
 ImprovJacksonville is a Jacksonville based improvisational theatre company that prides itself on innovation and diversity. IJ was started in October 2000 by a Navy pilot, Mike Burke (Mother Mike). IJ's first gig was River City Brewing Company and soon Ed Goodman became the director, Ed has experience from Second City in Chicago and had performed and directed at The Annoyance, Improv Olympic and Comedy Sports. When he moved to Las Vegas as a full-time member of a Second City cast, Scott Abrams took over as director. Expanding the scope and ambition of the troupe Scott has taken IJ into many new venues, including the Atlantic, Comedy Zone, corporate training and youth enrichment.
 Topping Haggerty, of The Kihckercast Project, will be performing her one-person improvised show, which has been seen in New York, Buenos Aires, Chicago, Austin, Miami and Toronto. It’s a frolicking romp through the less then mundane lives of your not so average worker bees existence. With strangely phrased songs and emotionally charged and tragically funny characters, Topping humorously shows that there’s no such thing as ‘just’ a day job.

 Mock Turtle Soup is now starting its fourth year. MTS hails from Clemson University and is a completely student run project. The troupe travels around the south and even makes it up to Chicago every now and then, doing around 8 shows a year on campus and off.
 Let's Try This! is the offical theatre improv troupe of DramaTech. The troupe was formed in the summer of 1989, inspired by workshops taught by Robert Lowe, who has remained a constant source of help and inspiration to us. As our name suggests we will try many things, from games to short scenes to long-form to that-in-the-world-was-that? We have many directors with different styles amougst ourselves making our shows quite diverse, however we all share a common belief in being in the moment and making our partners perfect.
 Oncoming Traffic, armed with a whole lot of nothing, we can do anything. Specializing in experimental improv, Oncoming Traffic is Tallahassee's only live comedy experience.
 Relapse Theatre was born out of a dream, then grew into classes, and is now a monster that will kill you all!!! As Promised! Relapse Theatre is growing by leaps and bounds. Starting from a solid foundation (aka the bottom), Artistic Director Bob Wood and Ken "El Toro" Bullard teamed up to deflate the imposing "Rules" of comedy. A devolution from the whole world of judgment. Relapse is a harbor of welcome for every artistic expression: art, sketch comedy, improv, scripted works, storytelling, music, two guys sittin around, and Coming Soon: Spanish Improv. Be here or be nowhere.
