Comedy Improv in the Forest
Join the Forest Theater Guild in extending a hearty welcome to Monterey Comedy Improvs first ever Forest Theater performance.
The Guild is happy to be partnering with Monterey Comedy Improv for their first summer at the Forest and in welcoming special guest, Laura Hall, Musical Director of the hit TV show, Whose Line is it, Anyway? for a spectacular show at The Forest Theater in Carmel-by-the-Sea. This iconic theater will be the scenic backdrop for a lively performance similar in style to Whose Line is it Anyway?, in which the players take suggestions or volunteers from the audience and create entertaining scenes and characters. Featuring the Penisula's Premier Improv Troupe, Monterey Comedy Improv, with guest performer, veteran Second City improviser, Rick Hall, this show promises to be unlike any improv performance youve ever seen!
Laura Hall is best known as the improvisational pianist and Musical Director on Whose Line is it Anyway?, which ran for eight years on ABC with Drew Carey hosting. After a long hiatus the show is currently in its fourth season on the CW Network, with Aisha Tyler hosting. During the hiatus, Laura toured the country with Drew Carey and the Improv All Stars. She has played with many other improv groups around the country, including iO Chicago and iO West, The Groundlings, Theatresports, The Improv Institute and Opening Night: The Improvised Musical!

Monterey Comedy Improv originated in 2008 as the Mirth-O-Matics and was the brainchild of founder, Gerry Orton. In 2014, troupe member Rich Westbrook became the director of the Mirth-O-Matics and brought his own style of creativity and energy to the mix. Rich led the branding of the troupe into the next generation by changing the name to Monterey Comedy Improv. They have performed at venues including The Wharf Theater, The Pink Flamingo, Carl Cherry Center for the Arts, The Lab, The Moose Lodge, and have also performed for charity events, corporate functions and private parties. Monterey Comedy Improv consists of original members Rich Westbrook, Maria Dawson and Carrie Gerdes, with new members including Barry Kilzer, Rhonda Navarro, Melody Logan, Lee Larrew, Nick Villareal, Kimberly Rousseau and Carrie Collier. www.montereycomedyimprov.com
