Trophy Wife won the Los Angeles Improv Fest’s Harold competition last night in front of a standing-room-only crowd at the IO West. The final showdown was between Trophy Wife and Hat Trick, another IO West Harold Team. The contest was decided by a combination of audience vote and the votes of a panel of improv experts: Charna Halpern (IO founder) and Stephnie Weir (IO alumna/performer and MadTV cast member).
The victory in the finals capped an exhilarating run of four shows in four days for Trophy Wife. On their road to the finals, they faced teams from Los Angeles (Second City L.A. and IO West) and from Phoenix.
The competition was generously sponsored by Break.com. Thanks to that sponsorship, Trophy Wife received a trophy, a cash prize, and a framed certificate stating “Break.com congratulates Trophy Wife. This certifies that you are funny.� And Trophy Wife now has a 3-(short)-picture deal to make video clips for the Break.com website.
This championship is Trophy Wife’s second. They won the IO West’s in-house Harold Team competition in November. They perform each Wednesday at 9:30 at the IO West.
