HELLO

MY NAME IS:

4TRACK is a New York based improv comedy group in New York City featuring George Basil, Frank Campanella, Christian Capozzoli, and Matt Evans. One of Magnet Theater's signature shows. From a single suggestion, 4TRACK delivers huge characters, high stakes, bold risks and big energy to make a show that is daring, truthful and brutally funny. Official selections of the 2008 Chicago, Vancouver & Toronto Improv Festivals Time Out New York’s Best New Improv Show of 2007 “High octane, fast, physical comedy. One of the best improv shows in the city.” - NBC Morning Show “Some people are just funnier than others and the energetic, committed play of these Magnet Theater veterans has earned them a loyal fan base.” - Time Out New York "Fast, energetic and totally at the top of their game, 4Track's four improvisers (George Basil, Frank Campanella, Christian Capozzoli and Matt Evans) have rapidly developed a cult following in their hometown of New York. These guys take a single audience suggestion and turn it into comic gold, weaving together high-energy scenes that showcase bold and unusual characters and then neatly tying it all together in the end. They were among our favorites at last year's fest."
