Flying Squid Comedy is excited to announce its first Improv Festival taking place Friday and Saturday. Founded by UGA alumnus Kelly Petronis, Flying Squid Comedy is a comedy theater and school that prides itself on teaching its students, actors and entertainers how to be fluent in improv, sketch, acting and clown classes in addition to providing corporate workshops. The company performs free weekly shows at Buvez and work.shop. The company decided to create its inaugural Improv Festival to showcase a variety of improv acts stretching from Athens to Atlanta, with 12 acts between the two cities performing. The goal was to bridge the gap between the exciting Atlanta comedy scene and the humble Athens comedy scene. There will also be three improv workshops open to the public for participants to indulge in on Saturday, Oct. 21. The day pass is on sale to the public for $15, but a weekend pass is being sold for $25. See what happens when experienced improv comedians are thrown into the same room!
