M.i. Signs Web Pilot Deal w/ JustForLaughs.com
Yup, fresh off creating our original web series "We Grow Together" for ICN.tv, we've just inked a deal to create an original web pilot for the hilarious folks at JustForLaughs.com (yes, the web presence associated with the famed international comedy festival of the same name). The pilot is tentatively titled "S00per00ps" and it's as ridiculous as the name suggests. Hopefully, they'll love it as much as we do and they'll pick up the 10 episode option. Stay tuned!****Also check out our featured channel at http://www.justforlaughs.com/channel/MI%20Productions

April update!

We've been going through some exciting things as of late and figured it was about time to re-up our online convos with all of you. For those folks who are new to our circle of friends here's a tid-bit of info on M.i. and the whole Mission IMPROVable crew:

Mission IMPROVable is the nation's most touring-est improv group ever! Since 1998, this band of improv agents has been traveling the country spreading it's unique style of improv comedy to everyone they meet. Their roots began in Massachusettes, in 1996. There, the original six members (Ryan, Jeff, Aaron, Lloyd, Jason and Jason) met and started performing together on the campus of UMass Amherst. After two years of weekly shows in the Campus Center, the six friends decided it was time to pack up and head out to Chicago-- the World Capital of Improv Comedy.

After several years of performing and training in Chicago, the guys took to the road in 1999. Since then Mission IMPROVable has grown bigger and stronger. With the inception of M.i. Productions the company has stretched into the television and online video world and expanded from the original six members to nearly twenty. M.i. continues to fortify its ranks each year, performing at hundreds of colleges and theaters across the country, participating in countless improv festivals as both performers & teachers and even crossing international borders for performances from Singapore to the Caribbean.

Best Comedy Act of the Year, Runner Up!

Congratulations to all of our Mission IMPROVable tour co. members for being voted the "Best Comedy Act of the Year, Runner Up" by Campus Activities Magazine. While the fellas put on the show, we know that many of you had a vote in this decision and for your support we're really very thankful. Y'all Rock!


Sweeney Heading to LA!
Long time tour captain and friend Colin Sweeney is hanging up his driving gloves and moving out to meet the other west coast guys in sunny Los Angeles. Congrats on the move, Sween-dog and thanks for all the hard work on the road! The M.i. West crew can't wait to hook up on the left side of the map and bring more of the funny to CA and beyond.


We Grow Together is in the can!
M.i. Productions is in full swing and pushing forward with their newest project "We Grow Together." M.i. Productions has partnered up with the Independent Comedy Network (ICN.tv) and five episodes of WGT will be online and distributed sometime in early May. Keep your eyes peeled for the show on sites like MyspaceTV, Veoh, Youtube, iTunes and more! A big shout out goes to writer/creators Sean Casey and Anne Gregory who spear headed the project and went above and beyond in the making of it.
