The Strangers
Saturday, August 8 at The Backline Comedy Theatre, Omaha
About
Watch friendship form onstage in "The Strangers," a two-person improv show with Timmy Tamisiea and Will Meinen. These Omaha natives reunited during the pandemic after touring nationally, turning newfound camaraderie into unscripted, unpredictable comedy built entirely on the fly.
Who's playing
The Strangers features Timmy Tamisiea and Will Meinen. Timmy has trained and taught in Chicago and Los Angeles and performs around the country with the Westside Comedy Theater, while Will began his comedy career at The Backline and trained and performed in Chicago at iO and Second City.
What to expect
This is a fully improvised two-person show, so the comedy is created live rather than pulled from a script. The premise centers on two performers who were once strangers, became friends after returning to Omaha during the pandemic, and now turn that evolving camaraderie into unpredictable scenes onstage.
Why go
For audiences looking for local improv in Omaha, The Strangers offers a focused duo format at The Backline Comedy Theatre, a downtown venue dedicated to standup, sketch, and improv. The appeal is in watching Tamisiea and Meinen build the show in real time, using trust, timing, and the unknown as the material.
