Lazzi

Lazzi

Lazzi is an improv comedy troupe here at UNL. Lazzi's goal is to help improvisational actors grow, become better performers of improvisational comedy, and to bring joy to those who see our performances and participate in our workshops.

 Lazzi is an audition-based troupe, but any UNL student can audition, regardless of major or experience level. We hold auditions every year, usually in the first month of the first semester, to form our troupe of 10-15 improvisers. Once the troupe is formed, potential activities include weekly rehearsals, improv shows, fundraisers, collaborations with other RSOs, and interactive workshops. The troupe may also participate in improv competitions/tournaments throughout the year. Lazzi shows are free and open to the public, and they are usually held on UNL's campus.

 Check our social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) for more information about auditions, shows, and workshops. If you have any questions about Lazzi, feel free to reach out through social media, or send us an email at lazziimprov@gmail.com.
