Comedians Bring Big Laughs To Baltimore Symphony

Using their quick wit, Mochrie and Sherwood take contributions from the audience to create hilarious and original scenes. Drawing from some of the most popular improv games from Whose Line, the performance becomes truly interactive as audience members are called to the stage to participate in the fun. Fans of the hit comedy show may recognize games such as "Sounds from a Hat" and "Sound Effects," in which select audience members must provide the soundtrack to accompany the comedians' outrageous actions.

Since partnering in 2002, Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood have sold out shows across the nation, and their act has been called "uproarious" and " a two-hour laugh riot."

Colin Mochrie, comedian

A successful Canadian comedian, Colin first became involved with improv through Theatersports in Vancouver. In the mid 1980s, Colin traveled to Toronto and joined the famed Second City Toronto - first in the touring company and later on the main stage. Debra McGrath, the director at Second City who actually hired him, later became his wife. From there Colin moved on to regular roles on both the British and American versions of Whose Line Is It Anyway? In Canada, Colin has appeared in a number of TV shows including This Hour Has 22 Minutes and Blackfly. He has also appeared in a number of movies and, in 2002, starred along with his wife in the completely improvised movie Expecting. More recently, Colin can be seen in print and television ads as Nabisco's "Snack Fairy."

Colin's appearances on Whose Line Is It Anyway? have led to successful live shows with other performers from Whose Line Is It Anyway?, performing under the name of The Improv Allstars. In 2002, he teamed up with Brad Sherwood to start the highly successful An Evening with Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood Tour.
