Touch Baseball, Small Uncle, The Chameleon, The Guest Bedroom, Shoes Off

Touch Baseball

Touch Baseball is a long-form, two-person improv team featuring long-time St. Louis improvisers and teachers, Ryan Myers and Ashley Rube. After playing together on numerous teams for over 3 years, they formed Touch Baseball at the outset of the pandemic to find hope and distraction from the literal end of the world.

Five years later Ryan and Ashley continue to bring what they love most about improv to the stage with Touch Baseball: patient, grounded scene work that is focused on relationship, committed to emotional honesty, and open to discovering what’s funny about life’s hard moments.

Touch Baseball is a mainstay among Improv Shop House Teams (150+ shows). They have also performed and/or taught workshops at Brooklyn Comedy Collective, Third Coast Comedy (Nashville) Fest, Omaha Comedy Fest, Grand Rapids Improv Festival, Asheville Improv Fest, Countdown Festival, and Flyover Comedy (St. Louis) Festivals.

Small Uncle

Small Uncle is a long-form monoscene team made up of St. Louis improv veterans Charles Harris and Phoebe Richards. Small Uncle is lived-in characters, strong points of view, and big emotions. Expect vulnerability and oddly specific tangents.

The Chameleon

The Chameleon consists of Patrick Fitzgibbon (the limbs), Taylor Dukeman (the scales), and Zach Schmidt (the blood). Formed in 2024, the team quickly developed a reputation for their explosive energy, absurd characters, and cardiovascular endurance. They have performed in dozens of shows in St Louis, and were named a House Team by the Improv Shop in 2025.

The Guest Bedroom

The Guest Bedroom has been doing silly make-em-ups all over Colorado Springs since 2021. Together, the team has over 20 years of improv experience, with our members hailing from teams like ComedySportz and Tempe Late Night. While we have been a main-stage team for two different Colorado comedy clubs, we call Peak Improv Theater our home, where we bring a new themed long-form style to each of our monthly shows.

Shoes Off

We are Shoes Off, an all-Asian improv team and community based out of NYC! We have a quarterly show at the Magnet Theater for Asian improvisors, but we also frequently perform at other events, most recent at Fun & Dumb Festival at the Brooklyn Comedy Collective.
