This is the weekly meeting of the Purdue Improv Club’s Friday Night Open Forum from 7-9pm in BRNG 2280. Anyone is welcome to come and check out some improv comedy in a no-pressure environment where you can perform in games if you want to, or just watch if that’s more your style.

This Halloween is going to be a little different from years past. We’ll still be starting at 7pm in BRNG 2280, as always. We still encourage you to come in costume, as always. We’ll still be doing improv comedy, as always. But the Ship of Fools will not be doing an official performance–it’s all open forum. Additionally, since we know how much you all love to party on Mischief Night, we’re dismissing early, at 8:15.

The build up comes slowly, with everything seeming normal. A regular Friday night Open Forum will be held in BRNG 2280 from 7pm to 9pm. The normality of routine will provide the striking contrast necessary to highlight the significance of what will follow.

Because Saturday, it is going down. Hard.

Join is us for the FIRST ever Ship of Fools ALUMNI REUNION SHOW. The show is this Saturday, October 3rd, from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm in MTHW 210. Past and present collide as the current Fools play host to a plethora of past players from the mythic past of our improvisational troupe.

And as usual, it’s all free!

Please come and join us for what promises to be a groundbreaking event in the history of the club. You won’t want to miss it.

The first week of school promises to be an exciting time. As always, we’re in Beering 2280 from 7pm to 9pm on Friday nights for the foreseeable future.

This Friday, August 28th, the Ship of Fools will be performing at the Welcome Back Bash between the Union and Stewart from 9pm to 10pm.

Remember: Come to watch or come to perform. But always come to laugh.

This thought fills all of our hearts with sadness, but be consoled by knowing that we will make it two of the most AWESOME weeks of improv ever.

Friday, April 24th is the last completely normal open forum of the semester. Come to BRNG 2280 at 7pm to watch, hang out, laugh, and/or perform! Our doors are always open.

On Friday May 1st, in BRNG 2280 at 7pm, the dead week end-of-the-year finale will take place. Experts in the field of improvisation estimate that the event will result in massive awesome shockwaves that may reach as far as Mars before dissipating. Special, rarely seen games will emerge from the shadows. Heroes will rise, legends will be made. All of your hopes and dreams can be realized in a single, epic open forum. Be there.

Time for another Ship of Fools/Andy Ober Orchestra Collaboration Extravaganza!

Come and join us on April 4th in Matthews 210 at 7 pm to witness the unbridled humor of these two comedic forces combined.

For those unfamiliar, the AOO is a parody band of exceptional quality fronted by longtime SoF-collaborator and former Fool Andy Ober. The show is free, so there’s really no excuse for absence–except a hatred of laughter.

Friday night Open Forums contine in BRNG 2280, 7pm to 9pm.
