🎶 Ten Minutes With Dawn 🎶
Only on our Facebook page!

New episodes weekly!

Every Friday at 10:00 am, we get to meet another great improviser from somewhere in the world! Watch as Unscrewed Theater's own Dawn McMillan makes things up and has some silly fun with improvisers from everywhere!

This week, Dawn welcomes Dan Wilson.

Dan is a playwright, director, and actor who has been performing improv since the early aughts. He served as a board member of the San Francisco Improv Cooperative and helped found the SF Improv Festival. Dan served as both producer and performer of the long-running improvised play podcast Radiostar Improv.

He also appears with the improv trio Past Our Prime Time Players with Diana Brown and Christopher DeJong. He has taught levels courses, Improv Sunday School, and drop-in classes with Moment Improv in San Francisco. Dan performs all over the country (and now online) as half of the improv duo Bingewatch.

Bingewatch's series Bingewatch and Friends was recently nominated for a Young-Howze Theater Journal Award for Recurring Streaming Series of the Year.

Dan has taught and or performed in person and virtually at Wasatch Improv Fest, Alaska State Improv Fest, Tucson Comedy Arts Festival, Twin Cities Improv Fest, New Orleans Improv Festival, Denver Improv Fest, New York Improv Fest, San Diego Improv Fest, 2nd Best Comedy Fest in Richmond, VA, ExStreamed Improv in the U.K., Vintage Improv, and others.

Dan & Dawn make up a short, silly scene on the spot - and then chat about life, the universe, and everything! Ten Minutes With Dawn is one of the best ways to find the funny online - and it's only on the Unscrewed Theater Facebook page.

For everyone's protection, all of our volunteers and performers are fully vaccinated. Following the current CDC guidance and for the safety of our volunteers, our community, and other audience members, face masks are required AT ALL TIMES while inside our theater.

We also LIVE STREAM every show - so you have your funny your way. Every time. ENJOY THE SHOW!

We're bringing funny back to the stage!

It's time for another night of live, in-person, family-friendly improv comedy! Adam, Alan, Cy, David, Rosanne - & your host, Chris Seidman, are all ready to bring you more of those improv games that the Not Burnt Out Just Unscrewed team is known for!

Tonight, they're joined by special guests from our sister theater, Tucson Improv Movement. We're thrilled to welcome Salt & Pepper to the Unscrewed Stage!

Salt & Pepper is alternately known as the improv duo of Kurt Lueders and Jen Lamfers, who perform a monoscene.

They formed in November 2019 as part of TIM's improv March Madness, a competition for improv duos. Since forming, they have also created a Thursday Night series at Tucson Improv Movement, including a Boast Battle, Cage Match, and Punball Wizards.

In addition, they have been recording a weekly podcast since February of 2020 where they break down the humor of your favorite bands, called Kurt & Jen Make a Podcast.

You can find Jen and Kurt performing standup comedy all over southern Arizona.

Don't miss the improv fun & games! You can watch us live and in-person - or from your very own home with a streaming pass!

For one special night only, he will be bringing his Las Vegas show to Unscrewed Theater on Saturday, September 4th, 2021. This will be an 18+ show which means there will be adult content and language in the show, so it's best that you get a sitter for the kids.
