Improvised History

Improvised History Presents: Topsy-Scurvy!

2026 Fall / Winter Season: 2nd Friday of the month

Improvised History is an entirely improvised show based on what we remember about history. This season, Improvised History presents: Topsy-Scurvy! Follow our ragtag crew of a pirate ship for an hour-long comedy adventure on the high seas. Topsy-Scurvy asks the question “what if your favorite workplace sitcom took place on a pirate ship in the 1700s?” You’re in for an evening of adventure, plunder, sea shanties, and maybe even some educational content about the Golden Age of Piracy in the Americas! Pirate costumes and singing along are heartily welcomed.

Join us! Tickets are $18. 

⚡️DISCOUNTS FOR TEACHERS⚡️
Massachusetts school teachers & staff with a current school ID are eligible for a free standby ticket; ticket subject to availability.⚡️

This show is one part nerdy, one part funny, and 100% fun.

Improvised History is most appropriate for adults and older teens. We don't shy away from foul language, and our content is best enjoyed by those who have suffered through at least one high school history class.
