A great way to support our troupe, other than coming to see our shows, it to become a Patreon supporter.
Your monthly $5 contribution helps us keep our gear in shape, pay advertising and website maintenance costs, and pay our performers for their time and talents.

To say thanks to our supporters, they receive a $5 discount to all FVI ticketed shows! If you come to both shows in a month you’ll get $10 in benefits!
Broken Clock members also get $5 off of our shows there! And you can stack those discounts! That’s right! For those that are both Broken Clock members and Patreon supporters, your admission to Broken Clock shows is… ZERO DOLLARS! We’re just giving it away here!

Most of our shows (barring technical difficulties) get posted to our YouTube channel. However, 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!
Subscribe to our channel and help us get demonetized!

“From gut-busting stand-up to fearless improv and boundary-pushing storytelling, Good Camel Comedy Theater curates events that speak truth to power—through laughter. We spotlight BIPOC artists, queer voices, and bold perspectives that don’t always get a mic in traditional spaces.”

On April 23 they’re hosting the Oasis Laugh Battle at Lush. Watch as some of the best BIPOC comedy minds in the Twin Cities “battle through lightning-fast games, building scenes from nothing and taking big swings in front of a live crowd that can feel the tension rising.”

Can’t make it that night? This unique show runs the 3rd Thursday of every month at Lush.

The Bird Blind – April 22 – May 10

The Bird Blind, a world premiere by Alaska Native writer, Kira Apaachuaq Eckenweiler, is an unflinching and compassionate story set in an Inupiaq village on Alaska’s Norton Sound. As generations clash, addictions simmer, and the tundra bears silent witness, a young boy and a troubled hunter expand the meaning of kinship in a makeshift bird blind. With razor-sharp dialogue, and cultural truth, Eckenweiler weaves a play that is both a gut punch and a prayer revealing how even burdened people can find their way home. NNT is known for discovering and developing Native writers; following in that tradition, this new play will be directed by Artistic Director, Rhiana Yazzie.

Wed – Sat 7pm
Sun 2pm

Between the Artemis II journey to the moon, and the wildly popular movie Project Hail Mary, this month has us thinking about the vastness of space, and how small our part of it really is.

On a galactic scale humans really are a small community, and a community can only thrive when all it’s members are working together.

If the crew of Artemis II can survive being locked into a porta-potty for 10 days and being thrown around the moon, we’re pretty sure you can refrain from flipping off that guy in traffic.

We hope this month brings you grace and patience.
