Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup - Thursdays at Gresso's!

Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup - Thursdays at Gresso's!

Thu, Sep 24, 11:00 PM
From Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup!
4.9

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you were quoted in *Truth in Comedy*, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**! The idea behind improvised comedy is to create entire scenes from scratch. A suggestion is taken from the audience and laughter is built on the spot. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway, Make Some Noise,* or *Wild 'n Out*; it can also be done in a longer way, to tell a complicated story, like *TJ & Dave*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and FREE!) weekly comedy event, brings the games for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Afterward, many members will hang out in *Gresso's* itself and get to know each other. Not only is this a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, your public speaking, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and build relationships that will last a lifetime, and you do that while laughing your butt off! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "*Yes, And*" that you'll have a blast!

\* One World \* One Week \* One Festival \* Join us as we get together for a CMG special event and fun annual tradition: THE MANHATTAN SHORT FILM FESTIVAL! If you haven’t attended with us before, you’ll LOVE it! (And if you have attended before you probably already signed up!) This event showcases 10 short films selected from hundreds from around the globe! We'll view each of this year’s 10 short film finalists back-to-back then cast our ballots to help pick this year’s winner! Afterwards, we’ll get together for a bite, a drink and to chat about the shorts! Here are complete details for this year’s event: ABOUT THE FESTIVAL: THE MANHATTAN SHORT is the only event of its kind! This year’s Ten Finalists will screen across the world during a one-week period. Finalists are selected from hundreds of films submitted from across the globe with the winner determined by ballots cast by the audiences in each participating venue. Winning films will be announced after the festival and I’ll send an announcement to the group! All of this year’s finalists will be eligible in the Short Film categories at the 2026 Academy Awards. THIS YEAR’S FINALISTS: This year is extra special because for the first time in its history MANHATTAN SHORT has selected ten films from ten different countries, with films from USA, Ireland, Australia, South Africa, United Kingdom, Moldova, Russia, Cuba, Georgia and Mexico! Films include everything from comedy to drama, action to animation, and everything in between! 2026 TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOdETuNe6E0 2025 MANHATTAN SHORT WEBSITE + DETAILS: Click here for more information about this one-of-a-kind festival and to learn more about his year’s finalists: https://www.manhattanshort.com/finalists.html PLAN: We’ll plan for mid-afternoon showing and will meet in the upstairs lobby about 30 minutes before showtime! We always bring a big group and previous events have sold out, so advance ticket purchase as soon as possible via the GFC website is advised! If seat numbers are assigned, please list your seat number in the Comments section for this event. Afterwards, don’t miss joining us for the always-fun post-show conversation, food and drinks at nearby Cazuela’s Mexican Grill!
