It is the RiP’s is back for a few gigs! Don’t miss this opportunity to laugh at, and with, your favorite professional funny folks. They’re busting out some old favorites and creating some new magic based on your suggestions.
Forget robots writing screenplays – The RiP has been outsmarting algorithms for over 20 years with their completely human, completely hilarious, fully improvised musicals. In this one-of-a-kind show, the troupe skewers our tech-obsessed world – where chatbots try to be funny, apps try to predict our choices, and nothing ever goes quite as planned. Every song, scene, and glitch is created in the moment, proving once and for all that no artificial intelligence can match the joy of real human spontaneity.*

Sara Gioia
Member Since 2009
Sara is the RiP’s newest member, which sounds ridiculous to say since she’s been with us for more than 15 years, joining us shortly after returning from college out of state and writing us an extremely flattering letter that perfectly played to our egos.
In addition to the RiP, Sara has performed improv in festivals and shows in Denver, Boston, Omaha, Kansas City, San Francisco, Syracuse (Kansas), Wichita, and possibly a few more places.
Aside from improv, Sara has performed on stages throughout the area, including the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center and the Millibo Art Theater. She has also been on screens of various sizes in commercials, films, and sketch comedy.
