Join us on Saturday, August 23rd, starting at 7pm at the Cresco Theatre it's live with Scriptless in Seattle. With a style reminiscent of the beloved show “Whose Line Is It Anyway,” Scriptless in Seattle offers a unique blend of hilarious sketches, improvised musicals, game shows, film noir, and so much more. No two shows are ever the same, ensuring an evening filled with surprises, laughter, and memorable moments.
In early-2019 a group of three comedy performers were on deck for a small talent show fundraiser in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Just a few minutes before taking the stage, the emcees approached them asking what they wanted to be called. After discussing briefly and tossing around a few joke suggestions, the three settled on a movie pun, tipping their hat to Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. Not five minutes later, the emcees introduced for the first time anywhere, Scriptless in Seattle.
Today, years later, Scriptless in Seattle is touring the country… and still flying by the seats of their pants! Come enjoy a show that has not yet been written and even get the chance to steer its direction! With opportunities to come up on stage and be a part of the show, the script is YOU.
