Shahrazad!

These seven make up the new and fabulous, up and coming improv group here in Charlotte. They call themselves Shahrazad. I myself can't yet pronounce their name quite yet, but I'm working on it!

Seriously, these people together are hysterical. Geoff and I went to their show in NODA at Wine Up last week. Usually, improv isn't my thing....but these guys had me cracking up the whole time.

Not only are they funny, but they have a purpose in their work. As noted on their myspace page, their goal is to "entertain the charlotte community with the art of improvisational acting/comedy, and in the process, use the money we earn to help those in need--locally and around the world. We have fun doing improv, you have fun watching--and WE WANT YOUR MONEY TO AFFECT AND EVEN SAVE LIVES." Cool!

Somehow we all survived the blistering heat last Monday evening to get these fun shots. If you want to see more, check them out here. Enjoy the pics and expect to hear more from Shahrazad...they're going to rock Charlotte!
