Opening Night Ceremony & Entertainment:
A Night of Improv Comedy with the popular and good-looking people of "Intentionally Left Blank"
*FREE TO THE PUBLIC!*
Intentionally Left Blank busted out of a beginner’s improv class at Metro State, when a bunch of undergrads were looking for something to do before getting drunk each night. Since then, ILB has grown, shrunk, re-grown, pubesced, and matured into a tight knit group that finally gets to sit at the cool kids’ table of Denver improv. Their fancy long-form style will tickle you in places you didn’t even know you had! Today, the lovable ILB kids keep making their way up the improv ladder the only way college teaches you how: bribery and extortion. |
