Best way to have fun while making new friends. Whether you've never done improv before or you're a seasoned veteran, come on out and play some games with us at Gresso's!

The idea behind improv is to create entire comedy scenes from scratch, similar to Whose Line Is It Anyway. In addition to being a lot of fun, it also offers lessons in everything from communication to thinking on your feet.

The meetup will be either on the second floor or Gresso's or in the basement (we'll post an update shortly before the start of each meetup). Stay afterward for a drink and/or some food with people!

About the Artist:
Marcus D. Wiley is a premiere entertainer whose class of comedy surpasses the status quo. In February 2025, Marcus released his third hour special, “Marriage Is Major Surgery”, which was executive produced by Ali Siddiq and is available on YouTube. The special went viral and received over 3 million views to date. This one-of-a-kind performance has been described as ‘ideal for the married, the wanna be married, the used to be married and the wanna be married again’.
The son of a preacher, Marcus’ charismatic style of delivery is clean, captivating, funny and knowledgeable. He provides lots of laughter along with a guaranteed message on being a better you. His motto for his brand of comedy is “Laughter is good, but the Message is better!” Wooing the masses, Marcus’ widespread appeal is contemporary enough to entice the fashion-savvy and culturally conscious Generation Xs, Ys, and Zs, but traditional enough to melt the matriarch’s heart as he recounts Mama’s mandates.
Prior to his comedy career, Marcus was a professor at Texas Southern University. A three-time college graduate with an Associates Degree in Fine Art Theatre, Bachelor’s Degree in Radio/TV Film and Master’s Degree in Communications, Marcus is also a published author. His book Hustle & Faith remains a top-selling piece of literature and excerpts from the book are often quoted from the pulpit to the streets. His motto as an author is “God will honor your faith and reward your hustle.”
