The Captains of Industry, winners of both the 2017 NoHo Fringe Festival and the 2018 Valley Awards, is an improv comedy group that, among other things, takes a single audience suggestion and weaves a series of completely improvised scenes, stories, and games into a hilarious singular piece. With combined training from the Groundlings, iOWest, and Upright Citizens Brigade, The Captains of Industry have brought their spontaneous brand of comedy to audiences worldwide.
The cast of The Captains of Industry can be seen and heard in numerous feature films, national commercials, television shows, popular web videos, and even animated cartoons. Collective film and TV credits include CSI, CHiPS, Conan, and Parenthood.
Each show can currently be seen live and in person the second Friday of every month at the ACME Noho Theater on Lankershim Blvd in Los Angeles, CA. They look forward to seeing you there!
