“I’m pumped to be back in my old hood,” says Troupe co-founder, producer, and improv comedian Bruce Whear. “Having grown up down the street and as a longtime stock boy at the Community Store right next door I look forward to seeing everyone again.”
Spontaneous, entertaining, and fun! Accidentally on Purpose is one of the hottest improv comedy troupes in New England. Founders performed professionally in Boston with scripted improv shows such as Awesome 80’s Prom & Claddagh Bing Irish / Italian Wedding show. This seasoned hilarious troupe’s comedy style is similar to the popular TV show “Whose Line is It Anyway?”
The evening requires interactive madcap involvement of the audience with scene suggestions and volunteer opportunities. The AOP Improv troupe has a varied and eclectic cast of professionals whose day jobs include doctors, authors, teachers, tradesmen, salespeople and corporate executives that have been laughing together for more than a dozen years. These exciting day jobs serve to add a unique flavor to the comedy weaving throughout the night. Whear sort of a cross between “Saturday Night Live” and “The Carol Burnett Show.” We have a lot of fun. Get ready to laugh.
