Laugh until your gut hurts!
Gut Instinct is an improvisational comedy team in Southwest Michigan. Eschewing the safety of a script, Gut Instinct relies on audience suggestions to inspire scenes that are made up on the spot, with hilarious results!
Using games and structures familiar to anyone who has seen Whose Line Is It Anyway, every Gut Instinct show is a beautiful and unique snowflake – completely different!
Never miss a Gut Instinct show!
