The Irish Wake begins, quite simply, with a body surrounded by Irish friends and family. As they mourn and interact, their stories and flashbacks will tell the story of the recently departed.

This show puts a lot of emphasis on its characters, their interactions and relationships. The wake-goers are unapologetic, hard-drinking and complete Irish stereotypes. Songs will be sung. Fights will break out. Bottles will be broken.

The Irish Wake was conceived and directed by Jet City Improv veteran Kyle Kizzier. He has been involved in improv for over 17 years, performing with and directing Chicago’s ComedySportz before moving to Seattle in 1997. Kyle has been an instructor and performer with Jet City ever since.

Performances are at 8:00pm on Thursdays and Fridays as well as a special St. Patrick’s Day show Saturday, March 15th at 8:00pm.

All shows are at the Historic University Theater (5510 University Way NE) and ticket prices are $10 (GA) and $8 for students/seniors. There is an opening night gala and performance on Thursday, February 28th.

The Irish Wake is brought to you by Wing-It Productions, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to enlightening, educating and entertaining audiences of all ages by producing theatrical events which explore theater by utilizing its improvisational roots.

This show is appropriate for all ages. There will be some adult language, and parental guidance is recommended.
