Central Kentucky Improv presents Carlson-Uhlir: A Night of Improv Comedy

Two decades of shared stages. Zero regard for their knees. This is Carlson-Uhlir: Middle Age Comeback. Jimmy Carlson and Craig Uhlir bring their fast-paced, high-energy improv comedy show to Lexington for one night only. After a five-year run at iO Chicago, the duo has taken their act coast-to-coast — UCB New York, OKC Improv, and stages across Michigan, Oklahoma, Alaska, and Texas — bringing smart, stupid, and fearless comedy everywhere they go. Joining them on stage will be the Central Kentucky Improv team, bringing their own brand of quick-witted, unscripted comedy to open the night. About Jimmy Carlson An actor, writer, and director with over 30 years of improv experience, Jimmy is a longtime performer and resident director at The Second City Chicago, where he toured internationally, directed multiple revues, and earned a Jeff Award nomination for Best Director.
