MATES: The Improvised ’90s Sitcom

Welcome to New York in the 1990s — where the coffee’s strong, the sofas are central, and absolutely nothing goes according to plan.

MATES is a fast-paced, fully improvised comedy show inspired by iconic sitcoms of the era, from Friends and Seinfeld to Frasier. Built entirely from audience suggestions, each performance creates a brand-new episode packed with unlikely relationships, escalating chaos and big laughs.

Performed by comedians from the award-winning Lying Together and CSI: Crime Scene Improvisation, this slick, high-energy show blends sharp character comedy with spontaneous storytelling.

Fresh, unpredictable and joyfully ridiculous, MATES delivers a nostalgic trip with a modern improv twist — no two episodes are ever the same.
