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 IMPROVISED 80s ACTION MOVIE
Dice of Destiny: Neon City
Join the Beards as they bring the high-octane, neon-soaked chaos of Dice of Destiny: Neon City to the BLB stage! This is a fully improvised adventure that lives at the intersection of a gnarly 80s action flick and a high-stakes tabletop roleplaying game.
Guided by a masterful (and possibly villainous) Game Master, our cast of improvisers navigates unbelievable plots, delivers unforgettable one-liners, and rocks unexplainable hairstyles. Every twist, turn, and explosion is determined by the roll of the dice. Will our heroes save the city, or will they roll a natural one and go down in a blaze of spandex and hairspray?

The hit fantasy podcast
Break the Dice: The Improvised Campaign
Listen to all 6 campaigns of our hit fantasy podcast now! It’s an improvised adventure where the fate of our heroes rests on the roll of a twenty-sided die. Twenty is a spectacular success and one is a critical failure. Nerd or not, you’ll in for one hell of an adventure.
