Shibacle

Shibacle are the reigning champions of WIT’s annual Fighting Improv Smackdown Tournament having won the title earlier this year. They’re proof of what happens when you hand the aux cord to four, wildly different improvisers and say, “Just have fun.” Fueled by joyful chaos, impulsive brilliance, and the occasional choreographed dance break, this team thrives on big swings, weird worlds, and an unwavering commitment to the bit — even (especially?) when it spirals. They bring the kind of unpredictable energy that feels like a party and a fever dream — held together by trust, fast instincts, and a deep love of play. They’re loud. They’re loose. They’re Shibacle. Let the good times roll!

Cast: Allison Yolo, Jared Smith, Mikail Faalasli, Samiyyah Ali

Kinfolk

Come see what happens when we put your kinfolk center stage. Kinfolk, which became the first all-Black group to win the coveted Fighting Improv Smackdown Tournament in 2024, takes your stories and turns them into an unscripted, improvised comedy show. We get a little tea about one of your loved ones, and then we build a whole world inspired by them. It’s funny, it’s fast, and it’s a celebration of the chaos and comedy that comes with having people in your life.

Cast: Jamal Newman, Kendall Hollimon, Krystal Ali, Samiyyah Ali
