Riff Raff Theater is like crossing Mystery Science Theater 3000 with the Rocky Horror Picture Show (with throwing all that toilet-paper). Performing their shows “LIVE” at the Englert Theatre in downtown Iowa City, they crowd-source their comedy by taking joke submissions online from their fans and movie buffs. By roasting only the Best of the Worst films ever to hit the theaters, they prove that even terrible films can be made enjoyable (at the film studios expense, of course). The cast consists of Chris Hanel, Dave Atwater and Todd Gutknecht, with fellow improv comedian, Dennis Lambing providing the necessary introductions this type of movie experience deserves.

Providing laughter across Iowa since 2002, Comics in Action is an improvisational comedy troupe performing intense, in-your-face, unscripted shows highly bent on causing audiences to split their sides with laughter. In other words, CIA is a hyper-intensified version of ABC’s “Whose Line is it Anyway?” with a “Men in Black” twist. Todd Gutknecht rules the roost as the go-to guy providing an amazing assortment of characters as Agent Rutabega.
