Runaway Twain Improv

Join Runaway Twain improv group – Michael LaDell Harris, Chris Huling, & Friends – for an evening of laughter!

June’s guest artists are Alien Head Emoji (AHE). AHE is a Des Moines-based improv comedy trouped comprised of Clifton Antoine, Charity Coons, Sean Dengler, and Matt Still and known for their odd and irreverent comedy stylings.

Runaway Twain is a local improv group that started in 2024. It spawned from the successful Des Moines improv group Kitten Bomb Comedy, which has performed all around town since 2016.

Runaway Twain and Friends is a longform improv show performed monthly in The Playhouse’s Theatre-in-the-Ground. The shows consist of an improv performance by the rotating monthly guests and a long-form improv set by Runaway Twain.
