Venn Diaphragm[Austin]
Venn Diaphragm does a modified Harold structure that.s at times smart and at others silly. Focusing in intelligent comedy, VD finds humor in every day situations, mixing it with some lighthearted absurdity and an occasional song break. With a veteran cast that offers committed character-driven scene work and a strong group mind, VD.s characters range from lovable nerds to self-centered aunts to blood thirsty squirrels.
The members of Venn Diaphragm have studied at iO Chicago, New York.s People.s Improv Theater, Upright Citizens Brigade, and the Magnet Theater. They deliver. Comedy, not pizzas.

Murphy[Austin]
A Chicago style longform troupe, and a house team at ColdTowne Theater, Murphy believes in building dynamic worlds, strong relationships, and funny games regardless of their current form. The time Murphy spent performing the Harold is still evident in their shows as they prefer to flow through multiple settings in the same world with an overriding theme linking them.

We'd like to bring our two-man show, featuring twin brothers Buck and Clint Vrazel, to Out of Bounds. The show will feature a combination of stand-up, improv, sketch, and musical comedy.
Buck and Clint Vrazel have been performing and teaching improv for eight years in the Oklahoma City area, first with Obviously Unrehearsed Improv (OUI), a college troupe based out of OU that they co-founded in 2001, and then with Red Dirt Improv, a professional troupe that they co-founded two years ago that performs regularly at The Individual Artists of Oklahoma (IAO) Gallery in OKC.The Vrazels have participated for fours years in the Normandia project, a live improvised revolution, staged as part of a hands-on workshop for professional broadcast news journalists, part of The National Press Photographers Association News Video Workshop at OU. They also appear in a series of improvised commercials for The Oklahoma Marriage Initiative.
