The show brings together original founding members Derek Dujardin, Betty Testa, Shaeri Richards, Shaunn Cochran, Chris Redish, and Dr. Linda Roemer with fresh talent Nathaniel Montgomery, Nick Shank, and Ryan Rice. It is an eclectic, multi-generational ensemble, with performers ranging from their thirties to their seventies.

“I originally chose the name Zenprov to capture improv at its highest form,” said Derek Dujardin, founder and director of Zenprov Comedy. “It’s those rare, transcendent moments when the art of improvisation takes over. It can feel like an out-of-body experience—watching a scene unfold effortlessly. The mind is blank, yet fully present, and something surprising, funny, and profound arises on its own.”

Besides the Zen-meets-improv philosophy of play, the thing that sets Zenprov apart is that the troupe isn’t just a group; they are a group of true friends. They celebrate birthdays together, take trips, and host dinners and backyard jams with musicians and fellow improvisers. That genuine heart connection shows up on stage.

“We don’t exactly operate with healthy physical or emotional boundaries when we perform,” Dujardin admits. “We’ve shocked more than a few guest improv instructors with scenes that might get other players kicked out of class—or sent straight to HR. But that level of trust creates a sense of deep safety and palpable warmth you can feel in every performance. So, we get away with a lot that other groups couldn’t.”

The troupe wants to honor former members Mike Burdick and Tony Carito, who have since passed on. They also thank Patrick Schweiss for giving them a platform to perform in Sedona over the years. “The Mary D. Fisher feels like home, and we will miss performing there. Patrick has always had our back,” said Dujardin.
With that, the troupe will let Patrick Schweiss, Executive Director of the Sedona International Film Festival, have the last word on the group: “Zenprov is the funniest improv troupe in Northern Arizona. People were laughing so hard their cheeks were hurting.”

ABOUT ZENPROV COMEDY

Zenprov Comedy performs a mix of fast-paced, hilarious, improvised scenes created in the moment based on audience suggestions, where scenes and characters interconnect. Unlike sketch or stand-up comedy, nothing is scripted or prepared in advance, so it is never the same show twice.
Zenprov Comedy is a local favorite that taps into the rich source material of living in a place steeped in spirituality, UFOs, vortexes, gurus, radical vegans, and confused tourists lost in roundabouts. Zenprov’s otherworldly performances explore inventive satire and cosmic giggles. Please note the show is rated PG-13, but occasionally ventures into R territory. Performances can be suggestive, irreverent, and unapologetic, but always apolitical.
