South Bay Musical Improv Comedy Jam-Come make up holiday songs!

Come enjoy musical improv! (improv comedy-not a band)
improvised singing! Watch or join-it is so much fun! We have a live keyboardist.

This is a special THEMED night-we wil make up holliday songs that do not yet exist! We did this in past years and it was HILARIOUS...a virtual show in itself!

now with late night Karaoke AFTER the improvised songs with our keyboardist!

You will have a ton of fun and feel connected-and laugh a lot. You can watch or join in the fun! The bar and restaurant literally just named a drink after us (alcoholic and nonalcoholic versions) the "Mimosical." Come try one out. You can even "yes and" the drink to where it adds a couple extra things and even helps make an improv suggestion! Yes the drink...offers up the suggestion! (Come find out how that works!)

Any and all levels from complete novice to veteran improvisors are welcome. We work on basic improv skills, but we also have a live accompanist on keyboard as well. We do games and some warm up activities and then we make up scenes and songs as well! Sound intimidating?

Don't worry- it is all fun and you are being led by several veteran musical improvisors. You do not have to be a singer. Most of us are improvisors first, but individuals who enjoy the format and joy of musical improv. You are also welcome to just come, watch, and laugh as well. Everyone who has come has ended up joining in, but it is not required. We are an amazingly warm and welcoming group. You will definitely leave smiling and feeling connected!

Many of us have been in the Wednesday and Sunday groups as well. Feel free to bring friends or others. Thanks to those who surprised me and just made us hosts so we could post these fun improv jams out to more of you. :) Thanks! I have so enjoyed meeting many of you who asked if we could post on meetup- so here it is!

We meet at Mimosa's restaurant in Willow Glen (San Jose) just off 280 and right on the main bus line up to palo alto (#25) or mile away from the main Diridon downtown train station. There is a full bar open with a bartender if you or friends want something, but the restaurant actually closes down for us! (There is a great pizza place next door and a couple other spots in the small center-you can bring in outside food.) We also have a whatsapp group-ask to be approved (to avoid spammers) instagram and facebook as well. You can find a few clips and images of the gatherings there to help you get a sense of the fun as well. https://www.instagram.com/southbaymusicalimprov/

We are aiming to start at 7:30 now to give everyone a little more time. Some of us gather earlier to eat and chat and then we start with warm ups and move on to making stuff up at 730. We stop at 9:30 to share positive reflections with a hard stop at 9:45 to let people actually get home. (These times also tend to allow for missing most of the traffic!) Note there is a small fee we ask for to help cover the cost of the musicians and the exclusive use of the restaurant. If you want to bring your own instrument to experiment as well-go for it!

After requests-the bar and restaurant are also trying out karaoke AFTER the keyboardist goes home. A bunch of folks have gone out elsewhere for karaoke, but it is now offered at the restaruant as well!

Note: We (and all south bay improv events) ask for a small contribution to cover the cost of the facility and so we can pay our amazing keyboardist.
