LEWISTON — Mainely Improv – On the Spot Comedy, one of Maine’s most popular improvisational troupes, will be appearing at 7 p.m. Friday, April 20 at the Baxter Brewing Company in Lewiston; free admission with no cover charge.

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.

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 and Julie Poulin of Monmouth.

“This team of performers has worked together for many years,” said Marois. “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.
