Improv Club
Officially as of Spring Term 2011, Knox DOES have an improv club. Contrary to what the website says (on the 101 Fun Things To Do page) there is NOT an improv troupe called Spontaneous Intrigue. Not any longer.
The unofficial drink of the improv club is called a liquorvagina (pronounced 'liquorpussy'). It is made with a secret recipe and enjoyed with a sugared rim.
From deep within its bowels several harrafying creatures have emerged, such as the Sexy Manatee, the Drunk Bitch, and Andrew Cook.
In early 2011 the females of the group bonded and became known as "tacos". Think about it. This tradition is currently being quashed by the organization in an attempt for overall unity. Not to say that we all don't enjoy a good taco now and again.

== Events ==
On April 13, 2013 Knox Improv Club held the first ever "Improv Fest" in which Monmouth and Western Illinois University joined us for a full day of workshops, which culminated in a large show with performances by all three colleges.
During Winter term 2013 Improv Club held two shows- Bill Cosby Slowly Melting and Oddly Specific.
The second show of Fall Term 2012 -Misplaced Manhood/ No More Narwhals- was on October 28 in The Alumni Room. There was a great turn out.
Fall Term 2012 started off with a BANG as Improv club held their first show of the year, UNCONTROLLABLE SASS, in Ferris Lounge on parents weekend. The room was packed, and as a result there were people who had to stand in the hallway and look through the open doors in order to watch. The room also got very hot, but that was mostly a result of the incredible attractiveness of the improvisers.
During Spring term 2012 Improv held a few more intimate shows, including The Outskirts of Canada.
2-17-12 and 2-18-12, Improv did a couple classy-ass shows in Old Main. They went pretty well, and surprisingly, people were willing to trek through the not-snow to such an unconventional venue for lulz.
On January 24, 2012, Improv Club performed at a stand up open mic night in the Roger Taylor Lounge. Long form. Shart Farm. Arange groves.
On October 29, 2011, Improv Club held its official fall show- INFINITE SUMMER CAMP. Various shart farm games were played as well as four long form games. It was held as a charity event. Audience members were encouraged to bring cans, which happened. They also were able to pay $1 to stick their hand in a giant bag of candy and grab as much as they could. As of November 8, 2011 there was still at least half of the bag left, and it's probably still in Casey's apartment somewhere.
On October 10, 2011, Improv Club participated in an event held by Quiver to advertise for their magazine and provide a hilarious experience for people in the Gizmo. Five games were performed with various members of the club.
In Spring term 2011 Improv Club held a show in the newly completed Rog Lodge, and it was dece. Notes were taken for future improvements, and the upstart club developed schemes for a new, shinier production.
In January of 2011 Ben Lee directed Improvapalooza in studio theatre, a huge three-part show involving short form and long form games, in an attempt to get the overall campus excited for improv.
Fall 2010: Isaac Miller directs Blood and Vodka in studio, and its hit sequel, Blood and Vodka in 3D.
