Beginning in January 2015, The Murge was performed twice-monthly at the Clubhouse as part of Catsby. The show was a live-directed and largely improvised attempt to entertain in ever new direct and sincere ways. As an experiment in form, the ensemble sought discovery in the rawness of their humor and in confrontation with an audience that leaves the performer exposed.

"…a comedy that is so far past stupid that it becomes nonsensically compelling."
~FLAUNT
"Spontaneous Theater of the absurd...Lascivious, blasphemous and potentially dangerous...This could be LA’s craziest improv show."
