Due to the spread of COVID-19 Empire Improv is canceling shows until further notice.
Improv Shows : Comedy that’s made up
Empire Improv performs online
“Scenes With Michael” is our online improv series where Michael Lewis Improvises with folks from all over. Michael like many improvisors, still wants to improvise even though he is stuck at home, for that reason Michael is recording and posting improv scenes through Empire’s social media.
If you are interested in performing a scene with Michael, you can contact him at michael@empireimprov.com or message through Empire Improv’s Facebook page. If you would like to support Empire while we are closed for classes and shows please, we would love for you to buy a virtual ticket via Venmo. Thank you and we got your back.
You can watch all of the scenes on our Youtube channel.
