we are blackout improv

Blackout is an all-Black troupe that has redefined the improv scene in the Twin Cities. Our flagship format, Swag Hat, is rooted in honest conversation between performers on topics suggested by the audience that gets spun into improvised theater. Together, we often create comedic dialogue around serious truths, and we always spread joy while doing it. You never know exactly what you're going to get when we're on stage -- so come see for yourself!
