Groups Update

Has it really been almost a year since I've updated this long-suffering site? Yes, it has. Thanks to everyone who keeps sending in their improv groups to be listed, despite the quiet here. And double thanks to people who let me know about defunct groups—the size of the list is well past the point where I can double-check each link every year or so (as I used to do in the early days) to see if groups are still active.

Here then are the groups I've just added to the United States, Canada, and World Improv Groups Pages:

We're Back

Pardon our long silence -- I was off getting married and getting back into the swing of things has taken longer than I would have thought.

Enormous thanks are due to Greg Childers (of Memphis Improvisational Theatre and the Southeastern Comedy Arts Alliance) for an email with a number of updated links to various groups and a list of nearly 200 defunct groups from the US Groups page. Those groups have been removed from the list. Thanks, Greg.

South Dakota, Represent

The Cufflinks from South Dakota have been added to the list, which means that there are now only two states and two provinces who need to step up to the plate and start an improv group, set up a web page for that group, and wipe out that embarrassing "No known groups". Are you listening Arkansas, Idaho, Nunavut, and Prince Edward Island?
