WHAT PEOPLE SAY
The Wire
"Attend a Stranger Than Fiction show and you're assured of seeing something that has never been done before. You might even help in its creation."
The Hippo
"Comedy and theatre collide on one stage with Stranger Than Fiction, a NH-based improv comedy troupe that's been getting a steady following since its founding."
The Keene Sentinal
"Look out, cast of "Whose Line Is It Anyway," Stranger Than Fiction is catching up, offering up a more sophisticated brand of improv right here in good ol' New Hampshire."
Jeanné McCartin

"It is comedy without a net; walking the high-wire with all the thrills and potential splats that infers; weird, screwball and curious. Like a box o’ chocolates, sometimes it’s sweet caramel, others it’s nuts. Give it a go."
