North Coast Improv is amazing!
North Coast Improv is a most extraordinary group of brilliantly hilarious and wildly talented performers. Their quick witted imaginative humor is wonderfully entertaining, it often leaves me dumbstruck at how fast their collective minds work in sync to such amazing comical result. Go see them! Run, don't walk! You will be smiling all the way home!

Entertain and personalized
The North Coast team entertained a group of business executives whom I was hosting in NYC. The North Coast crew researched every exec, and worked their stories into a hilarious welcoming rap. They then improvised a few more numbers based on prompts from the group. The North Coast team were very creative, amazingly quick, side-splittingly funny, and they gave my guests a uniquely New York experience. I highly recommend them!

It was a pleasure entertaining your team, Eric! Thanks for having North Coast at your event.
This company is good. I hired them for my corporate event with my colleagues and they led some activities with me and my friends. It was a bit of an older, more buttoned-up group. But we had a lot of fun and they did a great job mixing people up and making everybody step outside of their comfort zone. People were still talking about it weeks afterwards. We had a lot of fun and I would hire them again.

North Coast is the pinnacle in terms of…
North Coast is the pinnacle in terms of a mind-blowing, musical improv, rapping and beatbox like you've never heard it experience. As both a theater director/booker and performer myself, I'm always overjoyed both too book and watch North Coast slay the stage. Their workshops are incredible as well for anyone that wants to learn the magic they do!

North Coast will elevate any comedy experience you're looking to host. They're professional, fun to work with, and their shows are hilarious. Don't hesitate to book them for your next event! - Meredith Burns, Executive Director Art House Productions/Jersey City Comedy Festival

Meredith, Thank you so much for the review. Your festival was truly wonderful and we look forward to working with you again.
North Coast is comprised of some of the most talented creatives in NYC, performing and teaching their uniquely amazing brand of hip-hop improv. In their classes, they help you unlock the rhymes buried in your brain since childhood. Through repetitious exercises and practice, North Coast will keep you in your toes as they stretch and shape you into a dope lyrical machine.

An unbeatable improv experience
North Coast were one of the first shows I saw in NYC and to this day I believe they are the best Improv ensemble around. They also teach you how it's done. Seriously, go take their classes. You will not regret it!

Hip Hop 101 with Northcoast is AWESOME
North-coast’s Hip-Hop Improv 101 is one of the most fun classes I have taken in my entire life! I had taken quite a few improv classes before, but the incorporation of freestyle rap into improv takes it to a whole new creative level. The energy of the class is amazing! I had both Doug and RJ as instructors and they were phenomenal. They made use newcomers feel safe and confident while also motivating us to improve at our craft. I am definitely returning to a Level 2 class as soon as one fits my schedule. I legit want to be in the Northcoast NYC troupe one day after that experience!

North Coast is incredible
North Coast is incredible! Creates a safe space to learn and play.
I recently have had my 3rd partnership with North Coast at different organizations and I've been continously impressed by them! This time around I was more heavily involved in the planning phase and was blown away at how they personalized the show for the audience and occasion we were celebrating including utilizing our physical product, wearing the color of our theme and leaning into personal insights we gave them about folks on our team. 10/10 recommend!
