The Nannie Tharp Experience Improv Comedy Troupe

Stefan Gearhart, Ben Hagan, Shawn Utterback, and David Lee Smith III

The Nannie Tharp Experience Improv Comedy Troupe consists of Stefan Gearhart, Ben Hagan, Shawn Utterback, and David Lee Smith III.

We had a friend who participated in an experience. Her mannerisms were mimicked by others; she could captivate an audience talking about the most fanastical mundane experiences; her life was a farce. She stopped participating in that experience and we took up the banner in order to appease the gods of comedy and chaos. We are four improvisers out of Louisville, KY with four different backgrounds in improv and theatre. The four of us came together for one common goal, to bring the Nannie Tharp Experience to you.

We do on stage things that are supposed to happen off. This is a kind of integrity if, in the words of Tom Stoppard, you look on every exit as being an entrance somewhere else.
