Kraken Up! is a Kitsap-based improv troupe featuring performers with experience across the local, regional and international improv scene. Together they bring that experience for completely unscripted comedy where anything can happen. We began collaborating together in 2025. ​​ We lean into mostly short-form improv, which is a fast-paced, interactive style of theatrical improvisational comedy built around quick, self-contained games and scene. We create everything on the spot—characters, stories and even entire worlds—using nothing but audience suggestions and their own spontaneity. ​ Each scene typically lasts several minutes, keeping the energy high and the laughs constant. Our short-form performances often feature a variety of formats: immediate character development, high-speed storytelling, guessing games, and physical comedy. Audience ideas drive each scene, so no two of our shows are ever the same.​
