What
is
 New
Kevin?
New Kevin is an improv comedy group based in Tucson, Arizona.
New Kevin specializes in a particular
type of improvisation known as "long-form," which was refined
by a man named Del Close.
It differs from the type of improv
seen in the popular TV show "Whose
Line is it Anyway?" in that instead of many different "games"
being played, "long-form" improv is an attempt to create many
different scenes and create a narrative.
New Kevin also features live musical
accompaniment from a variety of talented musicians.

Why "New Kevin?"
There are three different answers
for this, none or all of which may be correct:
1. "Kevin" is a friendly
sounding name. Adding "New" to it adds an air of mystery to
it. People might ask, "What happened to Old Kevin?" To which
there is no answer.
2. Josh Cicci was going to name
his dog "Kevin" and we thought we would relate the group to
his dog.
3. After spending a long night
at a local eatery coming up with names, "New Kevin" was a lot
better than names like "Onward Crispin Glover" and "Lando
Through Time."
