VAROOM is composed of three master improvisers from Los Angeles, CA. Their contributions in performing, teaching, and progressing the field of improvised theatre are matched only by their razor sharp wits, and technical mastery of the artform. It is said that you can't throw an out-of-work improviser in LA without them hitting another out-of-work improviser, both of whom will have been inspired by, learned from, or otherwise touched [gross] by one of these three giants of improv.

VAROOM is performing an improv show with Parallelogramophonograph 8pm on Saturday at the Salvage Vanguard Theatre
