Victoria first started performing with FVI while we were doing online shows during the pandemic, and her energy clicked immediately. She didn’t meet most of the troupe members in person until we were allowed to do in-person shows again. She merged seamlessly into the troupe, and has brought greatness every show since.

FVI: How long have you been involved with FVI?

Victoria:  think it was four years ago in 2021 that I did my very first Zoom show. 

FVI: You have an extensive background in singing. What brought you to improv?

Victoria: I started taking improv classes because I used to do improv in acting classes with the Civic Light Opera in Pittsburgh and I remembered how much fun I had. I wanted to do something as an adult that would make me laugh so there was no question improv was the way to go. 

FVI: In a “Freaky Friday” situation where you woke up in someone else’s body, who would you like to be for a day and have them inhabit your body?

Victoria: Oooh! I had to think about this for a sec. I think I’d like to step into the body of someone who is a full time meditator/Buddhist monk of some sort and just bliss out all day looking at the sky. As for who would I like to be in my body? Probably a professional marathon runner on training day. That way I can outsource my workouts. 😉

F: Where else can people find you?

Victoria: You can find me on instagram @victoriatemiz or my website victoriatemiz.com. I sing at wine bars like Troubadour and am going to be singing in the upcoming Twin Cities Jazz Fest!

(FVI Note: This interview was conducted prior to the Jazz Fest, but due to issues wasn’t published in time. Check for her at Jazz Fest 2026!)

The Uncensored part of UnProv isn’t always appreciated by YouTube. They like to demonetize channels that swear, but we’re not scared! We don’t have enough subscribers to be monetized in the first place!

Jester’s is running the “Not-necessarily Newlywed Game” at Can Can Wonderland on Thursday July 17. At modern take on the classic Newlywed Game format. Bring a partner or a friend that you know well and compete against local celebrities and their partners or friends to win prizes. This event is included in your Can Can Wonderland admission price!

They also have shows coming up at Torg Brewery, New Hope Cinema Grill, Rustic Roots Winery, and Railwerks Brewing Depot.

Every Wednesday this summer they’re hosting Sunsets On The River, featuring a different musical act each week. Visit the Broken Clock page to learn more.

Also on Wednesdays this summer they’re doing something super cool called Kölsch Service. Here’s how it works: A server will roam the taproom with a tray full of crisp, cold Kölsch in traditional slender glasses. Spot an empty? They’ll mark your coaster and immediately replace it with a fresh pour—no need to flag anyone down or leave your seat. The beers keep flowing until you say stop.

Live music and food trucks every Friday and Saturday night, and great beer every night of the week. Now serving food too!

Visit their events page for more information.
