Dropout TV took over New York City with four nights of shows that drew fans from around the world — including ProducerLiz and Jordon Brown!

BIGGER! with Brennan and Izzy (and Ally Beardsley, Zac Oyama, Siobhan Thompson, and more) took over the Beacon Theatre for two nights of long-form improv comedy that embraced the absurdity of going BIGGER! (as they lovingly claim off the top of the show, “the note they’ll never get”).

In contrast, DROPOUT IMPROV showcased the best of Dropout’s short-form improv, with an Avengers-style ensemble that shocked and surprised fans across a range of classic improv games.
