Every Saturday night, the Loose Moose Theatre hosts a ‘Secret Improv’ competitive show, featuring local comedians. These comedians are divided into temporary teams, and must work together to create a comedic scenario based on a prompt given by their director.

After each act, the audience is asked to rate the scene from one to five by clapping when the rating is called. Once all comedians have acted and rated accordingly, the comedians with the lowest ratings are eliminated. They continue this process until one comedian is left. 

The Oct. 17 event, like all such shows, was intended for adult audiences, but the theatre also hosts family events throughout the month.
