ABOUT US
The Ponies is a short-form improv group based out of Talking Horse Productions in Columbia, Missouri.
​
Our crew comes from different backgrounds and careers, all united by our love of making people laugh through improv comedy. We specialize in short-form games similar in style to the television show, "Whose Line is it Anyway." Every thing we do is made up on- the-spot for a unique show that's NEVER the same twice!
