About The 66 Kicks

The 66 Kicks is a 75-minute, fully improvised comedy show inspired by live audience suggestions. With a fast pace and an unpredictable structure, the show combines clever storytelling, bold characters and interactive comedy. Think “Whose Line Is It Anyway” with an Oklahoma twist, organizers say.

The show is designed to be a standout local entertainment option—whether for a date night, an outing with friends or anyone seeking a unique, laugh-filled experience.

A Legacy of Comedy

Director Ryan "Arch" Archibald brings more than 16 years of experience with The Second City, Chicago’s legendary comedy institution.

Archibald performed with The Second City’s National Touring Company, helped create Las Vegas revues, taught at the Conservatory, and directed national tours. His resume includes performances and productions in cities across the U.S. and Europe.

His experience in both performing and directing has helped shape The 66 Kicks into a tightly structured, creatively open and engaging production that reflects the best of modern improv.

Upcoming Show Dates and Location

The 66 Kicks performs at Cody Mayo Studios, located at 317 S. Trenton Ave. in Tulsa. Upcoming performances include:

May 9 at 8 p.m.
May 23 at 8 p.m.
June 6 at 8 p.m.

Following these dates, the show will continue on the first and third Friday of each month.

What to Expect

Audiences can expect a night of fast-paced games, spontaneous scenes and character-driven narratives, all influenced by their own suggestions. The cast’s chemistry allows them to create scenes in real time, delivering a dynamic and unpredictable experience every night.

The show offers high production value, combining local talent with professional direction to create a uniquely Tulsa-flavored event.

The Audition Process

The casting call reached comedians across Oklahoma. A large turnout resulted in a competitive audition process, ultimately assembling a diverse and talented ensemble known for quick wit, stage presence and comedic timing.

Why The 66 Kicks Stands Out

The show’s strength lies in its structure, energy and connection with the audience. From start to finish, The 66 Kicks blends sharp comedy with a well-crafted show flow that maintains room for spontaneity and surprise.

Each performance includes dozens of audience interaction moments, setting it apart from more traditional improv experiences in the region.
