Philadelphia’s premier serio-comic improv ensemble will perform at next month’s Salon, where they will create a spontaneous work of documentary theatre!

Tongue & Groove uses a unique first person-inspired format for improvisation: prompted by questions from the company, the audience anonymously writes honest personal information on index cards; these cards are randomly chosen throughout the show to inspire a series of reality-based scenes and monologues that reflect the spirit of the audience.

Tongue & Groove was founded in 2006 with the mission of creating theatre that has the dramatic integrity of well-crafted scene-writing and the playful tension of improv. Headed by artistic director Bobbi Block, (of Philly Fringe-favorite LunchLady Doris, and Barrymore Award-winning improv company ComedySportz) the company of talented actors includes Adam Gertler, finalist on the new season of The Next Food Network Star. Their work explores a wide range of relationships, evoking both humor and pathos as they improvise the human experience. Tongue & Groove performances include romance, comedy, drama…and lots of kissin’ and wrestlin’.
