FARMINGTON – Improv troupe Teachers Lounge Mafia will give audience members complete control of the laughter fits — and skits — on Friday, Nov. 5, at a late-night edition of mature-rated improv comedy.

Besides fast-paced games to warm up the audience, Teachers Lounge Mafia will deliver its Facebook-inspired long form, “Clickable,” beginning at 9 p.m. at The Granary Upstairs.

The stage will become the screen as audiences click through character after character, scene after scene, story after story. Audience members will control the action as the performers make everything up on the fly.

Teachers Lounge Mafia most recently appeared on-stage at the University of Maine at Farmington alongside Portland’s Running with Scissors. The improv troupe also performed at the Portland Improv Festival and will continue its regular appearances at Wicked Gelato.

The group of comic actors will celebrate its third year with “Stale Milk and Sour Cookies III,” two irreverent nights of comedy at UMF’s Lincoln Auditorium, with proceeds benefiting Ataxia Telangiectasia research. Performances will be Dec. 3-4.

Making up the troupe are Jeff Bailey, Natalie Bean, Alex Kreitzman, Gavin Pickering, Emily Pottle, Dan Ryder and Kyla Wheeler, several of whom have appeared on-stage as members of area comic groups Lawn Chair Pirates and Curtain Raisers.

Tickets, $5, may be purchased at the door or reserved by calling 578-0357 or visiting [email protected]. The Granary is at 147 Pleasant St.
