OTRi_The Naughty ListAn improvised dinner show that wants to know if you’ve been bad or good

December  5, 6, 7, 13, 14, 19, 20, 21 @ Arnold’s Bar & Grill

It’s a little bit naughtya and a little bit nice — but always a whole lot of fun — and is the only ticket in town guaranteeing you’ll never see the same show twice. OTRimprov, transforms the patio at Arnold’s Bar & Grill into a magical world to celebrate everything you love, and love to hate, about the holidays.

OTRimprov’s improvisers transport you to magical lands and create scenes you’re unlikely to forget. Whether showing how Santa would handle unexpected gift requests or reimagining your favorite holiday stories in magical ways, The Naughty List will fill your holidays with side-splitting laughs. Bring your cheer or your humbug; either way, you’ll help craft the incomparable experience only OTRimprov can provide.

On the tradition of The Naughty List, director Paul Wilson comments,

“Seeing families and friends come back year after year, to have them talk about their favorite moments and what they love about the experience is incredibly satisfying. And the people who discover us each year tell us how glad they are they found us and how they can’t wait to come back. All that and having it happen at Arnold’s, an iconic and uniquely Cincinnati location …it makes for a holiday tradition we are grateful to be a part of.”

And to delight even more of your senses, host Arnold’s Bar & Grill provides a delectable a la carte menu of dinner, drinks, and dessert for you to enjoy before and during the show. Audience members can arrive up to 90 minutes prior to the 7:30pm start time to feast – but please note that you must arrive no later than 7:00pm to guarantee dinner service. Dinner and drinks are not included in the ticket price. All parties are welcome and encouraged to request a reservation time for dinner when they purchase tickets at OTRimprov.com.

About OTRimprov
OTRimprov (OTRi) began in 2010 as a collection of wayward improvisers looking for like-minded performers and a place to play in Cincinnati. After headlining shows for the Little Big Night at Know Theatre of Cincinnati, we formed our own partnership with Know Theatre’s Jackson Street Market, a resource sharing program for fledgling companies, and began producing shows independently.

We continue to explore a variety of styles and formats, while developing a strong improv community populated with smart, engaging people and doing work that is collaborative, curious, and sometimes a little bit daring. We foster new talent through training and a welcoming atmosphere, where all performers feel inspired to explore and take risks.
