Kids in the Basement is an improvised comedy show, hosted in the basement of the Bronson Center. It is not for kids.

Improv legend Susan Messing (founding member of Chicago’s Annoyance Theatre, seasoned performer at iO and Second City, and decorated educator and director), and actor, comedian, and improviser John Lehr (series creator and star of Quick Draw (hulu) and Ten Items or Less (TBS)), are performing live in Ottawa for one night only.
Susan and John have performed their improvised duo act, Messing with Lehr, all over the world. Partners in love and comedy, Susan and John have a wild and unbridled comedic energy on stage. Susan’s lightning-quick wit and both of their expert timing, bold moves, memorable characters, and electric chemistry are truly a whirlwind of comedy that will leave you doing double takes and struggling to catch your breath.
Get ready for a night of fun and laughs. We’ve got a pre-show jam, a show featuring local Ottawa improvisers, and of course, our incredible headliner, Messing with Lehr!

Saturday November 22nd Susan and John will be teaching workshops at the Bronson Center. All available here on our main Coursizio page.
