S.O.S.

<p>The World’s Best Hip-Hop Improv Comedy Show<br />
“If you can’t decide between going to a comedy show and going to a party, these guys have you covered both ways”- TIMEOUTNY</p>
<p>With a cast of improv comedy veterans in New York City, North Coast’s explosive performances have been packing comedy venues, universities, and festivals nationwide since 2009. Built around a single suggestion from an audience member, the show’s improvised scenes escalate into full-blown hip-hop songs, facilitated by resident beatboxer, Doctor Brick.</p>
<p>With their seamless melding of comedic timing and freestyle rapping abilities, North Coast frequently blurs the line between comedy show and concert, drawing audiences from the comedy, hip-hop, and theater communities for an experience that has been hailed as “mind-blowing” and “next level” by critics and audiences alike.</p>
<p>“A lot of shows proclaim, ‘You’ve never seen anything quite like it.’ In North Coast’s case, that is actually true.”-THE VILLAGE VOICE</p>
<p>“If you get a chance to see North Coast, see North Coast!” – The Portland Mercury</p>
<p>Featuring: RJ Williams, Mel Rubin, Luke Miller, Stephanie Rae, Raquel Palmas, Douglas Widick, Billy Soco, Adam Payne, and Dr. Brick</p>
