UPCOMING EVENTS:

 

The Mothers x Overreactors COLA CROSSOVER
October 26th | 3:00 and 7:00 PM | Russell House Theatre

It’s the most ambitious crossover of all time! The Overreactors, USC’s student-led improv comedy club and The Mothers, Trustus Theatre’s resident comedy troupe, take the stage together for an hour-long show of comedy with NO SCRIPT! Enjoy a variety of short improv games (a la Whose Line) and longer in-depth comedic escapades all influenced by your suggestions. Tickets are $3 at the door (cash or venmo) and 100% of proceeds will benefit Hurricane Helene relief efforts.

ABOUT THE MOTHERS COMEDY GROUP:

Made up of graduates of improv comedy training programs in New York, Chicago, Clemson University, the University of South Carolina, and other institutions across the nation, The Mothers Comedy Group makes their home in Trustus Theatre in downtown Columbia, South Carolina. Now in their seventh season, The Mothers have sketch and improv shows, as well as commerce series and recurring events at the Richland Library. Their dedication to community-focused comedy has borne results: the group was awarded the inaugural “Best Local Comedy or Improv Group” in August 2020 from readers of Columbia’s long-running weekly paper, The Free Times and has won every year since. COVID moved their work online, resulting in three digital sketch shows and multiple individual sketches, all available on their YouTube channel. The Mothers have been featured twice at the New South Comedy Festival, as well as appearing at Girls Block, First Thursday, Tapp’s, and the Columbia Museum of Art.
