Men in Shirts is an improvised duo founded in 2001 by Clifton Highfield and Chuck Charbeneau, with artistic direction from Jim Nemeth. Often seen with special musical guest Jamey Rosen, “Men in Shirts” has performed over 100 shows to audiences across the Metro-Detroit area. With audience sizes ranging from 20 to 143, “Men in Shirts” rely only on the talents of each other and a single suggestion from the audience to create a 20-45 minute play.
Clifton and Chuck pride themselves on their use of different improv styles to create a comedic performance with a touch of realism that comes from the heart. Clifton, a 9 year veteran performer and graduate of Improv Olympic, is ADHD at its funniest. Chuck, a 14 year veteran performer, student of Paul Sills and the Improv Olympic and an accomplished mime and actor, always has the perfect reaction to split your sides. Together Clifton and Chuck create an honest character driven improvised play right before the audiences’ eyes. Audiences may remember Men in Shirts from their famed “Confessional” seen at The Chicago Improv Festival, The Phoenix Improv Festival, and The Toronto International Improv Festival. Their new form “The Abyss” inspired by Liz Allen & Jimmy Carrane, with artistic direction from Jim Nemeth, can be seen on Thursday nights through February at the smash hit comedy lounge Improv Inferno in Ann Arbor, MI.
