Turbo Turkey-18th and Union

Turbo Turkey Greatest Hits Vol. 1

Turbo Turkey Sketch Comedy proudly presents their first-ever Greatest Hits show! They scoured the oceans and mountaintops and found nothing. Then they searched their brains and concocted a zany show full of characters, unique situations, and lots of laughs! It will be a night/afternoon of original sketch comedy.
Turbo Turkey Productions started in 2009 after completing Jet City improv classes to sharpen skills, and having previous sketch comedy experience in Indiana, Adam set out to create a sketch and improv group.

Turbo Turkey is proud to bring Greatest Hits to the 18th and Union and put on their biggest sketch show in years. Enjoy the ride!
