Miami’s Improv

For all the appeal of the superb nightclubs that dot the urban landscapes of Miami, there are some moments when one needs a bit of a break. Even on a short vacation, where the time spent in Miami luxury hotels flies by and Monday’s coming again, too many late nights can get a little bit exhausting. There are other options in town for fun. And those who are never going to want to give up the clubs, at least until they turn 30, can usually do a few things in an evening.

A great warm-up, then, or a fine main event, is long-form improv. Going out for a laugh by paying someone to make you laugh is usually pretty rewarding. In big cities like Miami, the level of talent is usually pretty high, and stand-ups have been trying out their material for discerning audiences for awhile. And Just the Funny has been doing improv for over ten years.

The styles and deliveries are very polished, but the nature of the thing means that it’s entirely fresh every night. In long-form, the audience will make suggestions about what they want to see, in terms of setting, the characters, and often the plot, and the players take it from there. It’s a technique that’s been around for awhile, and it can make an evening out as splendid as any club, or as a great beginning.
