leprechaun 2
Leprechaun 2 is a duo that emerged (almost as if by magic) out of Vermont Comedy Club’s “March Madness” Twoprov Tournament. The premise? Two Leprechauns who have never seen the movie Leprechaun 2 (but hear it's pretty good) do an improv set inspired by wee little bits of the movie.
technical difficulties
Technical Difficulties is a group of VT improvisors whose style can only be described as "constantly under construction," and their preferred form is "we'll figure it out next week". When they're not over-analyzing their own improv and life choices, the team loves exploring characters & relationships in an ever chaotic world.

They Slash Them were finalists in VCC's 2026 March Madness Twoprov Tournament.
comedy near me

They've thrown out their years of improv training to create a show that is unexpected, free, and wonderfully chaotic. Every show each improviser presents ideas from the depths of their brain for the others to bring to life. This team is unlike anything you have ever seen before.
UNCLE GRUMPY
Uncle Grumpy is a seasoned duo that recently won the “March Madness” Twoprov Tournament at Vermont Comedy Club, and this Big Pond set is their “prize.” Brian and Aaron create chaos onstage with their 90s sitcom inspired improv that’s not afraid to get big, weird and physical.
