Here is a brief Q and A with Sidley about the upcoming show and why you should attend:

Why are you excited about this show?

Allan Sidley: Improv gets a bad rap, and understandably so. The sets are often way too long and mostly appreciated by other improvisers. We play short-form improv games like Whose Line Is It Anyway? The scenes are quick, scenarios absurd, yet it's easier to connect with. Also, we're sprinkling in some stand-up from some savvy comedy vets.

What is the atmosphere at the venue like?

Allan Sidley: Relaxed and intimate with lots of regulars. Waverly brews many delicious beers, including a creamsicle cider that tastes just like the dessert.

What are the highlights of this show?

Allan Sidley: The highlights are never predictable but always delightful. [He joked].

Why do we need comedy now more than ever?

Allan Sidley: It's not just comedy, we need fun community events with shared experiences. Hang out with some friends, maybe make a few friends, all centered around laughter. What's better than that?!

What do you enjoy about working with these funny folks?

Allan Sidley: I’m always extremely impressed with how funny my scene partners are. The characters they come up with, and the choices they make. I can't help but laugh even when I'm supposed to be quiet.
