Description:

Stir-Friday Night! is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit theater company that was founded in 1995. Based in Chicago, Illinois, we are one of the nation’s premier Asian-American comedy troupes. Having worked with such renowned companies as The Second City and iO (formerly known as Improv Olympic), Stir-Friday Night! has become a fixture in Chicago’s comedy scene.

As an ensemble of Asian-American actors/writers, we travel the nation performing improv and sketch shows that educate all audiences, from an Asian- American perspective. Our diverse cast keeps audiences laughing while delivering messages with which they can identify.

Our alumni include Danny Pudi from Community, Steven Yeun from The Walking Dead, and Mary Sohn from AP Bio.

We offer training and corporate workshops, entertainment for holiday parties, and workshops and shows for high school and college events.

We’ll also help your colleagues and employees improve the following skills:
• Speaking/presenting with confidence
• Communicating clearly both verbally and non-verbally
• Improving group work and group dynamics
• And many, many more!

So, whether you’re a school, theater company, or business, we’ll let you in
on a process that’s not only useful in creating comedy, but can also bring a
new energy to your business or organization.
