Hello hello.
We’re The Bearded Company.
An improv company in Minneapolis + Los Angeles
Fully improvised adventures on stage and online. One of the country’s leading narrative improv groups.
Loved locally. Recognized nationally.
Never scripted and always an adventure.
Since 2006, The Bearded Company have been taking audiences on fully improvised adventures. In 2014, the Beards expanded their reach into Los Angeles. The group has created many sold-out shows including Swords and Sorcery: The Improvised Campaign, Bearded Manor, and their mainstay Epic Adventures. They now also have a hit fantasy podcast, Break the Dice: The Improvised Campaign, created out of their D&D-based stage show. The Bearded Company also performs and teaches on tours and in festivals throughout the country and Canada. Whether they’re at their home theaters in LA or Minneapolis, on the road, or online, expect the unexpected.

THE BEST WORST THING YOU'VE EVER SEEN
B(earded) Movies
Straight out of the 2am time slot on basic cable, The Bearded Company brings you a completely improvised B-Movie (live on stage) that will be as amazing as it is terrible. Low budgets, high expectations. Full of wild characters, plot twists, and over-the-top everything. Witness what you’ll want to tell everyone about, but almost certainly can’t describe!
