Since 2010 the west coast has enjoyed improv by stand up comedians. Well now that show is in Columbus, Comedy On The Spot! Comedians go up with no material, ask the audience for suggestions and create “comedy on the spot” based off the suggestion given. The power is in thehands of the audience, meanwhile Tye Erskin, Def Goldblum, Goodie Hendrixson, and Mimi have to create comedy gold.

Bring friends and suggestions so we can make you laugh. Some call it stand up, some say improvisation. Either way we’re gonna call it hilarious, because that exactly what this wild night will be.
