Comics In Action

Nearby arts & entertainment

Comics in Action is both a 10+ year Rocky Horror Picture Show shadow-cast and an improvisational comedy troupe performing intense, in-your-face, unscripted shows highly bent on causing audiences to split their sides with laughter. In other words, CIA is a hyper-intensified version of ABC’s “Whose Line is it Anyway?” with a “Men in Black” twist.

What an unbelieveable weekend... we are still processing it all 🥺

Iowa City you never fail to show out generously for our Mission Creek artists. We are so grateful for all the love you brought to this festival, particularly after a two-year hiatus.

We couldn't do this without the support of our community. To all of the festival sponsors, Friends of the Englert, and Fellowship for the Future Members who helped make this year happen: THANK YOU!

Hey, cats and kittens. Letting y’all to become aware of a fully-masked Rocky Horror midnight movie that is still in the works for this Halloween. Of course, it is going to take everyone to get on-board with current Covid-19 precautions … much of which, sadly, our group has absolutely NO control of (except ourselves). Last year, we got lucky enough to have three private screenings, thanks to The Englert Theatre and FilmScene, and handful of fans. So, on behalf of Tim Curry, the sl*t, and the rest of the Comics In Action Shadow Cast, … Be good, play it safe, dream it and mask up!
