It’s not easy translating the success of a TV show to the stage and performing in front of live audiences, but the guys from Impractical Jokers have found a way to do it. To be fair, the quartet of Brian Quinn, James Murray, Sal Vulcano, and Joe Gatto were performing comedy on stage long before they had a hit TV show. Nevertheless, they’ve been able to translate what fans love about Impractical Jokers and bring it to live audiences. A trip to see an Impractical Jokers live show is not like any other night of comedy. It might not be exactly what you expect based on what you’ve seen on TV, but audiences never go home disappointed.

History of the Tenderloins

For the better part of two decades, the four comedians on Impractical Jokers have been performing comedy together. They started out as a sketch and improv group called The Tenderloins. The comedic timing and chemistry among the four members were undeniable and something that doesn’t come around often. They seem to complement each other in ways that make comedy inevitable. Together, they toured the world and gained a following that eventually led to them getting a TV show that garnered millions of viewers. It even led to a full-length movie, not to mention comedy tours that took them to some of the biggest entertainment venues in the world.

Not Your Average TV Show

The formula that led to the success of Impractical Jokers on TV is not the same thing the quartet does on stage. In a way, that makes sense because audiences can stay at home and watch the TV show. While there are pranks, teasing, stories, and jokes during the live show, things are a lot more scripted. While that might seem like a little bit of a betrayal of the group’s history of improv, it’s for the best. After all, we’re talking about four comedic geniuses working together to craft the perfect stage show. Of course, they know how to keep things fresh, exciting, and authentic for audiences. While it might have the feel of improv, the Impractical Jokers stage show is the quartet at its best, making the show a must-see for any fan of comedy.
