Baby Knuckle is a four man longform improv comedy troupe out of Houston, Texas. Members include: Ryan Bradley Heine, Nate Suurmeyer, Chad Minchew and Kelly Harkins. Former member Hubie Fix has retired and has his hands full with a beautiful daughter who incidentally, has baby knuckles. Adam has since retired as well. Ryan and Nate met as part of Houston's Massive Improv and Rogue Improv theater groups. Chad and Kelly's roots are with Comedy Sportz Houston. Find Baby Knuckle on Facebook and Twitter as well.
Ryan began studying and performing improv with Houston's Massive Creativity in 2005. From 2006 to 2009, he studied and performed at Improv Olympic (IO) West in Los Angeles, where he formed Kick Drum Decade, a nineteen (19) time Main Stage Cage Match Champion. Ryan returned to Houston in 2009 where he served as a director, instructor, and performer with Massive Improv and Rogue Improv through 2011. Nate has a great resume, but is a slacker and has yet to provide details for the interwebs. Chad and Kelly are veterans of ComedySportz Houston with countless performances under his belt as part of Ampersand and Epilogue HD.
Together they will form a completely improvised 20-30 minute Harold-esque playground, kicking it off with an organic free form opening and exploring that connected universe with richer than rich characters that you care for and fear, stories you must hear, and laughs your belly craves. Nothing is as pure as a Baby Knuckle.
The members of Baby Knuckle have performed in the Houston Improv Festival, Trill Comedy Festival (Houston), Megaphone Marathon (Austin-Houston), Austin Out of Bounds Festival, Del Close Marathon (NYC), and the Los Angeles Improv Festival. As a group, Baby Knuckle performs in venues across Houston including ComedySportz, Station Theater, Beta Theater, Rudyard's British Pub, Avant Garden, Midtown Arts Center, and Spring Street Studio 101.
