The idea of doing improv often strikes fear in the heart of the average person, eliciting sweaty palms and protestations of “oh, I could never do that!” This anxiety is natural, especially given the most common point of reference for many folks is the fast-paced, irreverent comedy style of the performers on beloved television show, Whose Line Is It Anyway?

In advance of the newest season of Invasion: Christmas Carol, Dad’s Garage sat down with miser-in-chief, Ebenezer Scrooge, to get the answers to your most burning yuletide questions.

An exclusive interview with improviser, Joe Canale. Back in February 2024, Joe performed at Dad's Garage alongside Tim Meadows, Marc Evan Jackson, and Brad Morris. Joe Canale returns to the Dad's Garage stage for one night only, two shows, this November for Chicago Style Improv with Tim Meadows, Matt Walsh &. Brad Morris.

The green room at Dad’s Garage hums with energy as the actors pace back and forth, alternating between jittery chatter and somber line recitation. Nerves are standard fare in a theater, but tonight the stakes are higher than they’ve ever been. For the first time ever, a major television show (which shall not be named) is hosting auditions in Atlanta, exclusively within the hallowed halls of the city’s favorite improv house.
