Snowed In Comedy Show
Saturday, Dec. 6th at 8PM
Remember waking up to a surprise snow day? The rush of freedom, the break from responsibility, the sheer joy of doing absolutely anything else? This show brings that feeling back — Snowed In is your permission slip to step out of the holiday chaos and into a night of pure, playful fun. It’s a mix of fast-paced improv, audience-fueled scenes, and one longer story-inspired piece that warms the room like a fire after coming in from the cold.
Leave the planning, wrapping, baking, and coordinating behind for one night. Come laugh, breathe, and enjoy the kind of unexpected fun we used to get for free every time the school district panicked over two inches of snow.

Nerd Out Improv Comedy Show
Saturday, Jan 17 at 8PM
Step into the ultimate playground for all things nerdy with Nerd Out, a long-form improv comedy show where the things we obsess over come to life! From the classic movies that shaped us to the toys that sparked our imagination, from the sci-fi fantasies that kept us up late at night to the stories that still give us chills—this show is all about the things that make us nerd out.
Through real storytelling, audience banter, and hilarious interaction, Nerd Out taps into our collective nostalgia, creating an interactive comedy experience like no other. Audience members share their favorite nerdy memories—whether it’s the magic of Star Wars, the thrill of a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure book, or the eerie tales that fueled our childhood fears. Then, the talented improvisers take these moments and weave them into a spontaneous, long-form improv journey, transforming the stories into scenes that will leave you laughing, reminiscing, and geeking out all over again.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is a bit of a trick question, because all the seats in the house are good! We don't open doors to the Theater until close to 10 minutes before show starts. In the meantime, you're welcome to hangout in the Lounge and grab a drink or snack. If you're with a large party or some of your party hasn't arrived yet, just let our usher know and they will make sure to seat you together.
Our seating is Theater-style (no food tables, only chairs in rows). However, you're welcome to bring food and drinks from the Lounge into the Theater.Â
No pressure: sit in the front row without fear of being roasted. We play with the audience, not at them. Our goal is to make you feel welcomed and that this was the best choice for entertainment you could have made!
Soft Drinks, Alcoholic Beverages and Snacks
We offer a variety of soft drinks including Grapefruit and Key Lime LaCroix, Diet Coke, Coke, Sprite, Dr. Pepper, Rootbeer and water.
We also offer a small selection of alcoholic beverages including Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinto Grigio/Chardonnay, Blue Moon and Corona beer.Â
For snacks, we offer large bags of buttered popcorn and chocolate chip cookies.
Audience suggestions fuel the improv. We might even ask for one of you to join us on stage! No fear--it's always volunteer-based. We won't force you to join us or call you out randomly.
When you purchase tickets online, you get a discount and get electronic tickets emailed to you. You can bring those e-tickets in or just simply say your name to our Ticket Concierge and they will get you checked in quickly. We always encourage you to buy tickets online ahead of time to guarantee a seat.
Didn't buy tickets online? No problem! If the show hasn't sold out, you can easily purchase tickets at the door for $20. While we can't guarantee you a seat if a show sells out, we always try to make room for you and in our 10+ years of operating, can count on one hand how many people we've turned away. So, come. You belong here!

Are you unable to make it to one of our local monthly shows? Fortunately, our touring company is able to come to you! We've performed in several countries including Scotland's Edinburgh Fringe Festival with a sold-out venue, Idaho Laugh Fest, on Celebrity cruise ships, universities and historic theaters. A wide variety of touring shows are available. You can pick and choose depending on what type of show the audience you are booking for would like to see. One of our most popular shows is An Improvised Love Story where we interview a couple from the audience, gather details of how they met and fell in love, and then, minutes later, use those details to re-enact a completely improvised sketch of their love story. It was chosen as the Audience Favorite at the Orpheum Theatre in Twin Falls.
Our founder, Sean Hancock, has trained all mainstage touring performers and has, himself, received training from the top improv schools in the world including The Groundlings, Second City, UCB and iO. By bringing us to your event or theater, you know you're getting guaranteed quality entertainment. If you are interested in booking Recycled Minds for a tour, do not hesitate to contact us! We love performing and take that joy to the stage! Whether it's a college campus, club, fundraiser, festival or theater, we can customize the show to fit your audience.
