BATS Improv presents: Noir New Year’s 12/31/26 [SHO] at BATS Bayfront Theatre – San Francisco, CA

The shadowy world of Film Noir sets the stage for a buoyant, improvised play with music, set at New Year’s Eve. Nightclub singers, society swells and mugs and molls all converge to end the year with a bang. Join the party for a joyous and rollicking, spontaneous end to 2026.

Directed by Brian Lohmann

Musical Direction by Joshua Raoul Brody

At BATS Improv, one of our core values is respect for our audience. We understand that some people hesitate to sit up front because they’re worried about being "picked on." That’s not our style.

While we may invite audience members to join us on stage, it’s always your choice—and if you do, we’ll treat you with the same respect and playfulness that we bring to the entire show. No embarrassment, no mean-spirited jokes—just a fun, welcoming experience for everyone.

So sit where you like, relax, and enjoy the show!

Content Advisory
Improv can be unpredictable!
Every performance is made up on the spot, so we’re unable to provide formal content ratings or advance warnings about specific material. Adult language or situations may arise during a performance, even though we generally don't seek them out gratuitously.
When there are planned elements of content that audiences should know about, our show descriptions will note that, such as Improvised Kung Fu, which likely will contain improvised stage combat.
A Note to Parents
We want you to be aware that younger audience members may encounter some new words and situations during the performance. Most BATS shows are great for teens and adventurous middle-schoolers, but may occasionally include adult situations, language, or mature themes. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use their best judgment based on what their child typically enjoys.

Refund Policy: Sorry no refunds for our shows at this time.
