What It Is

Pop Scholars is a four-person improv comedy group based in Grand Rapids, known for their fast, sharp, and seriously funny shows.

They’ve been at it for over 15 years, building a rep for smart, quick-timing comedy that hits way harder than your average improv set.

What to Expect

These guys bring big energy, tight scenes, and a vibe that feels smart without taking itself too seriously.

Their style leans on audience suggestions and unscripted moments, so no two shows are ever the same. You’ll get a mix of clever setups, goofy turns, and that sweet spot of “real smart, stupid funny” they’re known for.

Where They Perform

Pop Scholars regularly play Wealthy Theatre in Grand Rapids and pop up at events like Gilda’s LaughFest and Kalamazoo Improv Fest.

They’re often on the lineup with other local comedy favorites, including River City Improv.

Why Go

If you’re into comedy that keeps you on your toes and makes you feel like part of the show, this is your jam. Their mix of wit, timing, and audience play keeps things fresh and fun every time they hit the stage.

You Can Hire Pop Scholars

They love to do private shows, weddings and appreciation dinners. Heck, they’ve done holiday parties, baby showers and even soirees.
