Made up of current and former OKC Improv students, The Laughing Stocks kick off the 8pm show with a short form improv set followed by the return of Fortune's Fools. Bringing together some of the metro's best actors and improvisers on one stage, Fortune's Fools creates original stories and characters in the style of William Shakespeare. The 8pm show will close out with the hybrid musical comedy of nationally recognized duo Twinprov, recently returned from performing at the Chicago, Colorado, and Twin Cities Improv Festivals.

Leah Kayajanian will headline in one of her final Oklahoma performances before moving to Los Angeles to pursue a career in comedy. The event will be hosted by one of Oklahoma’s most respected comedians Brad Chad Porter.
