About House Improv Night - Mama Bird & Pleather!

The Pack is a comedy theater and school that is home to some of the wildest, most innovative comedy anywhere. We offer shows and classes year round.

We are named the Pack because we are a family of hungry and passionate artists. Our unapologetically bold performers and students are encouraged to take risks and develop their unique comedy voices, because at the Pack we believe comedy should be inventive and always evolving.

The Pack Theater was founded by Miles Stroth (The Family, Heather & Miles) in 2007 as the Miles Stroth Workshop, and subsequently evolved into a den of viscerally exciting, unexpected, and original comedy.

Pleather derives its essence from the loud and campy nature of its namesake, while delivering the quality of a much nicer fabric. A linen, maybe. Cashmere, even.

 

After two years away from improv, these veterans realized that the break had not sprung them of their obsession with Yes-anding the dumbest ideas they could find. Their passion for silliness makes for characters that will follow the funny to the end of the world. A whimsical frenzy of personality, their shows create a reality that feels super cool and effortless for up to an hour before they get too sweaty. 

 

(Yes, we brought it back to a pleather comparison! The sort of flawless and not-at-all-shoehorned callbacks you can expect to see second and fourth Wednesdays at the Pack Theater.)
