Hello and welcome to Mental Flossing - Harrisonburg's own improvisational comedy and theater troupe. Please take a moment to browse our website, but feel free to call or e-mail us with any questions...


The core vision of Mental Flossing is to establish a permanent and professional source of entertainment and venue for talented performers from within our own community. It is a combination of laughter, entertainment and community service. For that vision to be successful, we're looking for committed individuals -- not just individuals that should be committed.

Mental Flossing is a combination of live improvisational comedy and skit/sketch comedy. Though we consider ourselves an "improv troupe", we are open to people with skit comedy experience. Any scripted skit should not exceed 5 minutes in length. All skit ideas are submitted for group approval.

A large part of our core vision is to give back to the community through our Comedy for Charity events.  Our belief is that people need a hand up, not a hand out.  As such, our efforts are to benefit groups such as Hospice, area food banks or other community service organizations.

Though part of our proceeds are donated to these service organizations, we also realize that not everything should have a dollar sign attached. Therefore, we're also looking for people that are willing to simply give their time. This may encompass anything from holding someone's hand or helping buy coats for those in need. This too, is part of the core vision for Mental Flossing.



* When appropriate, charitable donations will be administered by The Community Foundation.
