All experience levels are welcome. Bring a friend, form a team, and give Seattle a show they won’t forget. To sign up your duo, email duoshowcase@gmail.com.
Looking for a midweek serotonin boost? Watching the show is just as fun as performing in it. Grab a seat, grab a friend, and discover why Unexpected Productions is the home of Seattle improv.

Loose Cannons is Seattle improv at its most unpredictable. Every performance at Unexpected Productions in Pike Place Market is a one-of-a-kind experience: exciting, unexpected, a little dangerous, and always ridiculously fun. This is the show where anything can happen and usually does.
Part One: Part One: The night kicks off with a unique performance, setting the performers in a new format with special guest improvisers showcasing their signature style or a never-before-seen format. Your suggestions fuel the fire, and the improvisers will ignite the stage, bringing your ideas to life.
Part Two: The second half launches from a single audience suggestion, setting the performers in motion. It might start with a song, a monologue, or a rapid-fire group connection game. Whatever emerges will inspire spontaneous stories, surprising twists, and big comedic swings.
Loose Cannons is fueled by audience ideas, fearless performers, and the thrill of not knowing what happens next. You light the fuse. They run with it. What they create is entirely up to you.
