Blimprov is a Rogue staple that I make sure to see every year and 2016 only reinstated my enjoyment of this Valley-favorite improv troupe. I was able to attend their closing Rogue performance where they incorporated long-form and short-form improv as the entertainment. They were hilarious, they were engaging, but most of all, they made for a damn fine performance of solid improv.
Friday night’s improv games were: Murder Mystery, Questions Only, and Rap Finale. The long-form game was started with a monologue, based on a suggestion from the audience (frogs) and escalated from there. The Blimprov crew performed the games with hilarious timing, great audience interaction, and creatively referencing earlier-established jokes in later scenes. Even the times that the players denied an offer, it was done so with comedic intention and always moved the scene/joke forward. Blimprov is not limited to just the Rogue, nor are they limited to just Fresno. They are on all the major social media platforms and travel often, so follow them and check them out in a venue near you!
