About The Show
The Craig T. Nelson is a fast-paced competition show where YOU the audience decides who’s the better Improv Coach. Come be a part of our judges’ panel as we watch two comedy troupes perform long-form improv, being coached the entire time by our coaches. 50 minutes of insightful comedy with an opportunity to pass judgement and see how the sausage is made. Enjoy this “Showdown of Improv Coaches.”
