Preliminary Week Two takes us back to Unexpected Productions, the heart of improv in Seattle. Since 1983, they have been dedicated to promoting the art and spirit of improvisation. Their show, Theatresports has been running for over 30 years. Tonight will be a decidedly non-improv Standup comedy night with a new group of comedians battling to advance to the Semi-Finals. Only five will advance. Unexpected Productions and The Market Theater are located downtown in Pike Place Market, in the heart of Seattle’s Tourist District.
