Borealis Coffee Company

Improv Jones is back at Borealis Coffee Company!
New England's longest-running improv troupe returns to Bristol, RI on Saturday, October 3rd at 7:30pm. IJ has been making things up on the spot since 1992 — every show is different, packed with unique characters, wild stories, and all-around wackiness, all inspired by YOUR suggestions.&nbsp;&nbsp;Every show is different and every show is fun!!
This month's special guest: stand-up comedian and storyteller Michael Robbins.
Michael has been part of the improv community for more than 10 years — before most of you were even born! He recently discovered that stand-up comedians actually write their material ahead of time, and thought, "Damn, that sounds way easier!" Join him as he dives into work, relationships, and life in his brand-new scripted set: "Michael Robbins Does Stand-Up."
Come for the laughs, stay for the delicious snacks, coffee, and amazing drinks from the Aurora Bar at Borealis.
Doors open at 6:30pm and the show starts at 7:30pm. USE CODE BPATCH20 for 20%&nbsp;off tickets
