MEET YOUR HOSTS

SPOILER ALERT: They're a bunch of Idiots

Picture

Hi, we're The Idiots! We're a group of friends and performers based in DFW. We like long walks on the beach and Little Debbie snacks.

'Idiots' may sound like a silly name, but it actually stands for Independent Dallas Improv On TuesdayS. In 2022, we started a little project called Indie Night, a quarterly special event showcasing and celebrating Dallas' vibrant comedy scene. And that show happens (you guessed it) on Tuesdays!

Since 2022, we are proud to say Indie Night has brought live, homegrown comedy to multiple iconic local theaters and featured over 180 different performers on the stage. We are incredibly grateful to the Dallas community for helping us sustain this free show and prove what is possible through creativity and collaboration.

In addition to our 3-year Indie Night Anniversary, we've celebrated a lot this year, from the debut of Dallas Indie Comedy Fest (April 2025) to the birth of Indie Lab Creative, our Dallas-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit collective supporting the city's creative and comedic community through connection, support, and opportunity. We remain committed to supporting and collaborating with the Dallas community to produce fresh new shows, workshops, and special events. Come join us sometime to share fun, memorable experiences.

​Art is important.
Community is important.
Let's create, connect, and laugh!

Your pals,
THE IDIOTS
