LEWISTON — Mainely Improv “On the Spot Comedy,” one of Maine’s most popular improvisational troupes, brings its madcap antics to the Baxter Brewing Co. at 7 p.m. Friday, June 22. Admission is free.

Starting in July, Mainely Improv will perform every third Friday of each month at the popular brewery.

Much in the style of television’s, “Whose Line Is It, Anyway?” the troupe makes up comedy “on the spot” based entirely from audience suggestions.

“The one thing that is predictable about improv comedy is that it is totally unpredictable,” said Dan Marois, who with his wife, Denise, produce Mainely Improv. “We have no idea what we are going to do when the show begins and we rely on the wit and genius of the audience to give us outrageous situations to perform throughout the evening.”

The Mainely Improv cast often includes favorites such as Marois of Poland Spring, Brian Files of Gardiner, Bob LeBlanc of Newburyport, Massachusetts, Katie Nadeau of Waltham, Massachusetts, Marie Stewart Harmon of South Portland, Steve Corning of Lewiston, Amanda Kinsey of Monmouth, Greg Simpson of Minot, Julie Poulin of Monmouth and soon-to be-added cast members.

“This team of performers has worked together for many years,” Marois said. “Knowing each other so well, they play off each other’s comic timing to make a truly memorable evening of comedy.”

“We are pleased to host improv comedy at the brewery,” said Andrew Bielecki, tap room manager at Baxter Brewing. “We have been a popular spot for stand-up comedy every month and we look forward to offering a night of improv into our event lineup.”

Mainely Improv is an offshoot from Mystery for Hire, Maine’s longest running year-round mystery dinner theater troupe. They are celebrating their 23rd anniversary this year.

Mainely Improv has been creating “on the spot” comedy since 1995, and are well-known for their spontaneous fun based entirely on suggestions from the audience. In July, they will perform on the third Friday of every month at the Baxter Brewing Co.
