Description

Specialties

We are Out of Line. We make s#!@ up every weekend just for you. Yes, you. Beautiful, wonderful you. We want to make you laugh and make you cry. We want to show you that improv can be more than just dick jokes and toilet humor (though neither of those are beneath us). Out of Line does theatrical improv, which is our fancy way of saying we act out stories rather than play games and tell jokes. We weave story after story off the tops of our heads, each one completely inspired by you and your amazing imagination. We’re your jesters. Your dancing monkeys. You’re the remote control and we’re your television. We’re at your mercy and we like it that way.

History

Established in 2010.

Out of Line was formed in 2010 and is currently housed at the Un-​Scripted Theater near Union Square. Every show is unique and will never be repeated. The first time is the last time!

I was new to improv when my friend introduced me to Out Of Line, I had never been. I was completely astonished at how creative, funny, brilliant, and strangely addictive the experience became. I ended up going several more times last year and was more and more impressed each time I went. What these actors do is applicable to so many other areas in life, it’s so magical to behold and thought provoking to boot. I highly recommend checking them out!

Yo, this was my first improv and it was dope as hell. I didnt know it was possible to be this good. The night I was there, they had a new music guy and he performed flawlessly as well, as if he had known the crew his entire life.
They performed as one organism with no noticeable pauses. Hella wavey.

This was my first time watching an improv show. I loved that they took so much input from the audience in creating the show, each act was great. Loved the bit on rock crabs. And the stage werx theatre is in a perfect location, right in the heart of the mission! Great show!

I have gone to see 4 or 5 shows from these improvisers– in San Francisco and Redwood City. I have witnessed numerous short scenes with dead bodies, cowboys, dogs from outer space (you name it) as well as longer stories full of adventure, drama and fun. This is improvised theater and the fact that they make these poignant scenes, sweet melodies, silly slapstick and romantic tensions on the spot really speaks of their talent. When you are watching them, it’s hard to believe sometimes. I feel I am a seasoned improv fan (have seen over 50 or so shows from different troupes and theater companies) and I can recommend going to see these guys on a Saturday night. Every night is different and you will be witnessing history in the making. :)

I’ve seen these guys a few times now and it’s always entertaining. The actors all have good chemistry together. Talented peeps. The first half is your normal skits. The second half is a 30 minute improved play based on a title suggestion. I feel like these are where the actors get to show their stuff and sink deep into a character. Plus there’s a guy on keyboards who accentuates the scenes perfectly. And it’s for $ 5. If you find yourself needing something to do on a Sat night, check these guys out.

Great fun at a great price! Just $ 5 at the door. The actors are creative and playful with a snappy cadence. The keyboard player is quick to set the mood for each scene. Set in an intimate venue.

Such a talented group of improvisers with an interesting form of improv. First they did a bunch of short scenes, some serious, some hysterical. Then the next half was a full story, made up on the spot.
The show had some great unexpected moments because of an audience suggestion that ended up coming back in different ways, which kept being a surprise.
The actors were convincing, and the scenes and story were well formed, not like the low-​brow improv you might see at a bar. So if you’re looking for a fun and entertaining theatre experience, this is a great chance to see some of the stars of the San Francisco improv scene working together!

I was surprised how much fun i had! Sit back and enjoy the variety of acts, ranging from intricate action packed improvised stories to more silly short acts. Check it out, its well worth the price of admission for a fun date.

Who’d have thought that in an average –ish suburban city on the peninsula you’d get not so average riotous and witty improv theatre and comedy? These players have brewed up something special and entertaining. Support them and have fun!
