Local Comedy and Entertainment

Since May of 2004, a hooligan band of local talent has been providing laughter for the local masses through improv and sketch comedy. A weekly show for 21 years, the Projectile Comedy Performers (PCPs) have had the pleasure of “growing up” with the audience. They’ve seen relationships start and blossom (some end, cause you know… that happens), birthdays come and go (some celebrate annually with us), venues open and close, and fans move away. They’re privileged to be on the “while I’m home I better…” to do list for Montana folks coming back to their home state to visit.
