Blood Squad

A truly fantastic improv experience.

Blood Squad is one of the greatest improvised shows I’ve seen in my life. They are expert storytellers and ridiculously funny.
I first experienced Blood Squad in 2008. I moved to New York in 2009 and have become an active student and performer in the NY improv scene and still have yet to see anything comparable to Blood Squad.
I was back for a weekend in May 2013 and I am still in awe of this group, their form and their consistency.
I cannot stress enough how valuable this group is to Seattle and its culture. Please take advantage of this privilege and see this show as much as possible.
You will NOT be disappointed.

Holy mother of pearl, these folks are hilarious. Like, knee-​slapping, tear-​producing, breathless laughter hilarity. I caught their Murdertown show on a Friday night and loved it. I have a high threshold for comedy, and I laughed the whole hour and a half.
The best part of the group is that they know how to mix subtle funny with absurd funny. Tone of voice and facial expressions are used to compliment the dialogue and physicality.
Run, don’t walk, to the next Blood Squad show. Catch them at the Odd Duck Theater for the next few weeks.

Gut-​wrenching-​non-​stop-​laughter-​producing entertainment. Thank you for existing in these doubtful times, Blood Squad!

Blood Squad is amazing… Brandon, Elicia, and Michael are three of Seattle’s most experienced improvisers (followers of Theatresports have undoubtedly seen them take the stage over the years). In Bloodsquad, the three put everything they know into an incredible show that constantly pushes itself to be bigger, faster, and funnier with every show. And because the show is fully improvised, each show is wildly different: the three shows I’ve seen have been completely different in content, characters, and plot: only the awesomeness has remained the same!

I love Blood Squad in a 10 Stars sort of way.
I’ve seen some comedy off and on over the years, and generally enjoyed it. But Blood Squad is the staple in my «Let me show you Seattle» tour. Not Pike Place, Pioneer Square or the Space Needle. Blood Squad. This is where it’s at. Seriously I take everyone I know, young or old, from every social group to see this.
I’ve seen this show well over a dozen times and never tire of it. Each show is as funny as the last, although the ones at venues where you can drink are the best.
Go see them. I Promise it’ll be awesome. If you like bad horror or bad action movies and think that sort of thing is funny, you need to see this group before you die.

Blood Squad is a local comedy group comprised of Brandon Felker, Michael White, & Elicia Wickstead, who perform live improvised teen horror slasher flicks. With just themselves. And three chairs. And some beer.
I’ve seen alot of improv before, and nothing has been as consistently fan-​friggin-​tastic as Blood Squad. With performances with such titles as «The Returnining» and «The Night of the Leper», how on earth can they go wrong? Every time I see them, though the concept is the same, there is never a repeat of a joke– each «movie» seems fresh and new, and yet as familiar as the 1970s horror movies I loved so well. I truly, truly cannot even go into great detail about how what they did was so funny because I was too busy laughing the whole time. It would take a few hours for my head to clear from all the fuzzy funny.
The voice-​overs are amazing (a detailed description and pantomime of an evisceration, for example) and their ability to mock one another and the audience without breaking character is awesome. And they turned the entire audience of The Grand Illusion into possessed zombies who had to moan and react and play right along with them.
I know they perform all about town– usually at The Grand Illusion, The Odd Duck Studio, Bumbershoot, and the Market Theatre. Usually their events are late nights, and boozy. They have always been very… tolerant… of our intoxicated attempts to compliment them right after their shows, and, if you are part of the «Blood Squad Nation», you can get the occasional discount on ticket prices (check them out on myspace at
).
Ticket prices to see them usually fall between $ 5-​$ 10, and I believe their next run will be a December xmas special «He Sees You When You’re Sleeping» at The Odd Duck Studio.
If you are ever in need of a hi-​lar-​i-​ous night on the town, or if you want to impress that special someone with your love of gore and stellar wit, take ‘em to see Blood Squad.
