Surf 'n Turf: "Three men with no fear of intimacy or injury push the boundaries of traditional improv comedy to create spontaneous theater that is physical, intense, moving, and occasionally funny."

Mister Diplomat: From the Dirty South Theater improv team with a monologue delivered by a special radio personality guest!
