About The Show
Joe & The Ether with Special Guest: Beaver Kneivel! Join us for an evening of experimental improv and clown.
Improv Tonight! is a fast, funny, and completely unscripted monthly comedy show featuring different improv teams every Friday and Saturday night. Each team performs two shows—one at 8:00 PM and one at 10:00 PM—and no two shows are ever the same.
Joe and the Ether create an act where sound and language meld together, forming a symbiosis of rhythm, tone, words and story. Serving more than a mere musical accompaniment to Joe, the ether acts as an expression of Joe’s neurological impulses, and Joe, in turn, serves as a vessel for the ether’s forward propulsion toward immediacy. Each follows and leads, creating a touching and humorous voyage into the now. Joe Carroll (he/him), is an improv teacher, writer, performance artist, and actor, with over 20 years of improv experience. His unique performance style incorporates elements of clown, character work, mime, interpretive dance, and storytelling.
Peyton Storz (she/they), AKA Beaver Knievel, is a clown-focused performance artist in Chicago, IL. After graduating from Columbia College Chicago with a BA in Comedy Writing and Performance, Peyton co-founded the show “Hot Clown Sex”. The show ran from its inception in 2019 until early 2025, and was the first American group to be accepted into the Zagreb International Clown Festival. Peyton is currently working on Horse Show, a multimedia experience jam packed with 60 minutes of pure, unadulterated horse humor. You can join in on the horseplay by following the show @horse.show.chi on Instagram!
