The Charlotte Comedy Theater
The Charlotte Comedy Theater is a grass roots organization made of up of Charlotte's most notorius improvisers. Founded and directed by an 13 year chicago improv veteran, this group is skilled in all improv forms. They perform both long and short form improv as well as having developed their own versions of both.
This group of incredibly committed performers has taken Extreme Improv from a back room improv group to a top level improvisational Comedy Theater. Their hard work, enthusiasm and love for the art form is present in every show they do.

CultureBeast
CultureBeast emerged in 2009 to ensure the celebration, promotion, and incorporation of culture in our society. We can no longer rely on the very corrupt and misleading media for our information nor expect their aid in positive development. CultureBeast is a live talk show which include special guests, comedy, music and our live house band Crackers and Snackmeat.
Crackers and Smackmeat
Formed in January 2008 by the Habitual Ritual Sketch Comedy troupe, Crackers & Snackmeat is a throw-together of guitarist Phil Black and bassist Jayson French (formerly backups at The Perch), drummer Chris "SkeeZe" Slezak from a myspace bulletin, and singer/actor/improv comedian James Lee Walker II. Three weeks after forming, the quartet played their first show as the house band for the Habitual Ritual Comedy shows. There was an instant chemistry between the members that has continued to blossom into one of Charlotte's premier comedy bands.
Since their inception they have stretched the musical boundaries with pounding funk grooves, laid back blues, and hard hitting hooks. Fearless in exploring different genres, from jazz to rock they continue to grow as a musical team.
