Player’s Nightmare 3/30 8:00pm

March 30th 8:00pm $10 online*/$12 at the door

The Nest is proud to produce a beautiful feat with collaboration from the talented actors in the city of Columbus, for one night only.

The Actors (Actors Theatre, MadLab) will prepare a scene from any script they like ahead of time, but the Improvisers (Nest CBus, touring company) won’t know what the script or scene is. Two will be matched up at random and perform together onstage – one with a strict piece, one without, but in the same scene. Beauty, art, and comedy ensue.

Produced exclusively in CBus at The Nest, all to promote many kinds of art and cross-pollination of talents. You are Cordially Invited: Come see the feat, one night only.

*Only a small amount of tickets are available online. Online sales end at 6:30pm day of show. Walk-up door tickets and SRO tickets may still be available after that time.

ComedySportz 3/29 8:00pm

March 29th 8:00pm $10 online*/ $12 at the door

ComedySportz is arguably the most famous shortform comedy show in the world. The ComedySportz match features two teams of improvisational performers (players) competing in various improv games and performing scenes, with audience members judging the results and awarding points. In every match, a CSz referee monitors the action, awarding points and administering fouls as necessary. The flavor is somewhat like the television show Whose Line Is It Anyway?, though ComedySportz precedes that show’s debut by over 4 years. CSz is a high-energy hilarious experience, and appropriate for all audiences – all ages, all welcome.

March 23rd 8pm $12

HERE the Musical is a feat of improvisation – a two person, fully improvised musical play. The players get one suggestion to inspire theme through an opening number, create characters and storylines inspired by the theme, and effortlessly weave the strings together to discover one piece. Not one ounce of music has been pre-conceived before the show begins. Music improvised by David Schmoll!
