17 Years of Laughs: All-female improv group prepares for largest show yet at Unity Village
Host Nick Parker welcomes Megan Mercer and Pearl Rovaris MacDonald from the all-female improv comedy troupe, Pretty.Funny., for a hilarious conversation about their 17+ year journey in Kansas City comedy.
Pearl shares how a double-dog dare in the late 80s launched her comedy career, while Megan discusses joining the troupe fresh out of college in 1999. Together, they reveal the secrets behind their popular "real women" comedy shows that celebrate everyday life through clean, observational humor.
Highlights include stories of performing while pregnant, creating song parodies so convincing that kids think they're the originals, and their signature mime routines. The duo explains how they transformed from Comedy Sports players into Pretty.Funny., finding new venues across Kansas City and building a loyal following who travel across the country to see their shows.
Learn about their creative process, comedy heroes like Carol Burnett and Lily Tomlin, and get details about their upcoming Vacation Show on August 23rd at Unity Village's Goppert Center. This episode showcases the vibrant local arts scene and proves that improv comedy is alive and well in the Kansas City area.
