Mee-Ow Show

The original Mee-Ow Show, "Just in Time", was the first performance in the newly constructed McCormick Auditorium in Norris University Center (Northwestern's student union).

Co-founders Paul Warshauer and Josh Lazar aimed to create a show that would embrace a wider range of creative expression, including comedy, music, and poetry.

In contrast to long-form improv (which can last up to 30 minutes), Mee-Ow's short-form approach emphasizes rapid-fire jokes and quick resolution.

Mee-Ow has reported a significant alumni network, with several members going on to achieve notoriety in television, comedy, and acting.
