Red Dirt Improv, a troupe based out of Norman, Oklahoma, will present a series of comedy performances titled "A Lot Off the Top," an improv comedy show in two acts.

The first act features high-energy short-form improv games based on suggestions taken directly from the audience. The second half of the show features a 30-minute improvised play based on Chicago's long-running, critically acclaimed "Armando Diaz Experience." A single monologist shares stories that launch a series of improvised sketches based on a theme suggested by the audience.

The troupe members are Curt Coy, Christopher Curtis, Jay Edwards, Julie Pearson, James Murray, Buck Vrazel, Clint Vrazel, and Raychel Winstead. This group is under the direction of Tyler Bryce, a 17-year improv veteran who has performed and taught improv in New York City, Boston, Chicago, Kansas City, Austin and across North America.

Until recently, the members of Red Dirt Improv performed in the college troupe Obviously Unrehearsed Improv! at the University of Oklahoma. A sample of some recent performances by the college troupe can be seen at the OU Improv website.
