“Portland's nationally lauded improv group Broke Gravy.”

— Willamette Week

A Broke Gravy improv show is unfiltered conversation, idiosyncratic characters, and the joy of unknown possibilities.

Whether it's a black box in the back of a bar or the mainstage of an international comedy festival, we’ll harness the energy of the room to create something you’ve never seen before.

What people are saying:

“When I first saw Broke Gravy perform, I had already had the pleasure of having Leon as a guest at Improvaganza - Edmonton's Improv & Sketch Comedy festival. Within the first few moments of watching their format "James Earl Jones", I knew I had to have the whole group attend 'ganza. They are friendly & gracious guests, charming and hilarious performers, and I'd recommend them for any festival.”

— Matt Schuurman | Artistic Director, Rapid Fire Theater

— Vancouver Improv Festival

“Broke Gravy is a fun combination of hilarious and friendship all wrapped up in a bow. I’ve seen them stay true to themselves from the start, and they have been inspiring people all over the world since their inception. They are a group that you just want to be friends with and that’s powerful and needed, especially now.”

—John Gebretatose | Founder, Black and Funny Improv Festival & Blackout Improv

“One of the things I love about Broke Gravy is how accessible and approachable the shows feel. Some comedy shows can feel exclusive, but their shows always feel like you’re grabbing a drink with that hilarious friend you know is going to make your day better.

No matter if a person is seeing the group for the first time or the 20th time, it feels like you’re an old friend. The audience feels like they’re totally immersed in the moment and they’re engaged in a full experience—you can't help but be sucked in by that energy.”

—Kara Moore | Managing Director, Kickstand Comedy

“Watching Chris, Leon and Eric perform on stage together is a treat and a blessing, and working with them is inspiring. They are the kind of performers who are already talented, but work hard to get even better. They are the coolest and they are just the best.”

—Shelley McLendon | Artistic Director, The Siren Theater

“Watching Broke Gravy perform is a beautiful thing. Their talent and experience as performers is obvious from the get go, but the love they have for one another is truly captivating. It is a pure joy to behold!”
