About Us

Founded in 2024 by Vincent Mocco & Cael Schwartz, SRE is New York City's most irreverent improv comedy troupe. What sets SRE apart is our position outside the traditional “improv scene.” While many ensembles cater to comedy insiders, our show is designed for audiences who want to laugh, connect, and be surprised. Our performers are young, charismatic New Yorkers whose diverse backgrounds from theater and film to high-level finance and white shoe law firms bring a mix of discipline, charm, and irreverence to the stage. This makes the show especially resonant with an underserved audience in Manhattan: socially active, culturally curious professionals seeking a night out that is smart, personable, apolitical, and just a little glamorous.

The audience experience is central. Every SRE performance is structured like a “steam room”: an enclosed space where pressure builds, heat rises, and the unexpected emerges. Laughter comes not only from characters and punchlines but from the palpable sense that something is being discovered live, in the moment, and never to be repeated. Our sold-out shows to date (130 seats on average) demonstrate the hunger for this kind of comedy: immersive, alive, and untethered from traditional models.
