NSU Improv Team is working on laughs

By James Bagwell

     Look out NSU, there is a new group at NSU and they are here to make everyone laugh. This group is the NSU Improv Team.  The team of 13 improvisers has been handpicked from a group of people who have a passion for improv comedy and making people laugh.

     “This is gonna be a lot of fun,” said Israel Lister, Tahlequah senior, founding member and financial officer of the NSU Improv Team. 

     Those who are not familiar with improv comedy can go to YouTube and search for “Whose line is it Anyway?”. That is improve comedy at its best. And when they say that everything is made up it is not an exaggeration, the improvisers have never done that performance before and will never do it again.  

     The group meets every Tuesday and Sunday in the John Vaughan Library.  There they play improv games and practice for performances.  The comedy group has big plans for the future including performances at NSU and eventually statewide. Other plans include coming up with a better name than The NSU Improv Team.
