Comedy Improv

Einstein Simplified is Knoxville, Tennessee’s longest running comedy improvisational troupe. They specialize in short form improv, consisting of improvisational games, driven by audience suggestions, and sometimes include audience members.
As Einstein said, What has perhaps been overlooked is the irrational, the inconsistent, the droll, even the insane, which nature, inexhaustively operative, implants in a individual, seemingly for her own amusement.
