The Comedic Improvisation Alliance, better known to students as C.I.A., is putting its own spin on the Super Bowl with its performance entitled Comedy Bowl XLI in Stewart Theatre Friday night.

The Comedy Bowl, which Philip Boyne, a junior in physics and president of C.I.A., has called “the greatest spectacle of the 21st century” will begin at 7 p.m.

Because the alliance’s focus is improvisation, Boyne said the players are not scripted.

“We rehearse, but we haven’t planned the show,” he said.

Boyne said the alliance has a basic format it follows during the show, which includes games. There will be two teams consisting of four players each.

According to Hersh Tapadia, a junior in electrical engineering and a member of C.I.A., the alliance members will incorporate suggestions from the audience into the show.

“The audience can tailor the show to how they want to do it,” he said. “It’s interactive; it’s not just a static kind of thing.”

Tapadia noted the wide range of audience members who would enjoy the show, from youths to students to adults.

“You can take your parents to this show and they won’t be offended,” he said.

Boyne said the hardest part of preparing for the show is selecting the players for each team.

“We have a bunch of really, really talented performers in our group,” he said. “Everybody is good enough to be on stage.”

He said he considers experience with improvisation when selecting players, but he tries to rotate people and “give everyone a chance.”

Three members of the alliance, however, will travel to Ohio to participate in an event called “Comedy Olympics,” according to John Fowler, cofounder of the C.I.A and a junior in computer science.

In reference to the Comedy Bowl, however, Fowler described the focus of the group’s preparation.

He said the rehearsals are focused not only on skill improvement, but also on performance.

“We try to focus on performance aspect rather than the technical aspect,” he said.

Tickets are $5 or $3 with a student ID, according to Boyne.
