“I have been very impressed by Bearded Men Improv…
I enjoy their willingness to learn and their risk-taking nature.”

-Jill Bernard

“Intelligent-Clever-Flat Out Hilarious 
…Their performance was brilliant, witty and just a really good time.  The audience was laughing for 90 minutes straight.  Looking for comedy that has evolved beyond jokes about bodily functions- these are your ‘Men.’”

“…In the workshops all group members showed how well they grasped the fundamentals of improvisation and they were a delight to teach. Their professionalism and dedication within the shows was remarkable… and it was equally matched with how successful and just plain fun their material was."

“I have had a lot of "special guests" in my theater classroom teaching improv, pantomime, characterization, etc.  None of them compared to the excitement and kid-centered approach that the Bearded Men brought to the day.  The kids had fun and learned a TON. . . I had fun and learned a TON.”

Rebecca Meyer-Larson

“…Bearded Men kept our campers laughing and learning from the first moment they arrived. 
Not only did they go home with a greater appreciation for improv comedy, the Bearded Men also taught them many new skills, theatre games, and how to be comfortable in their skin. Our campers were sad to see them go every day that
they came! The constant linger heard in the air from the kids was, ‘these guys are so funny and talented!’
The Bearded Men are definitely always welcome back at camp!”
