“We’re thrilled to welcome the Intelligent Fools to our stage!” said Marjorie Waldo, President & CEO of Arts Garage. “The show, which helps us honor Black History Month is going to be a blast for both the performers and the audience – some of which may even end up on stage!”

Ernest Mitchell, founder of Intelligent Fools, started performing improv 20 years ago with the troupe Cheese and Crackers at Palm Beach State College (PBCC). After spending time growing with groups MOD27, The JOVE and Earth, Wind, and Improv, he decided to form his own group two years ago. “We’re excited to perform this special show paying homage to HBCUs during Black History Month,” Mitchell said. “People will have the opportunity to experience something they probably have never seen before.”

Located in West Palm Beach, other members of the Intelligent Fools include Ben Dexter, Ryan Julias, Tiffany Piters, and DJ Marlon Reid. “The DJ is an integral part of the show,” added Mitchell. “It’s kind of like a big party. A lot of people come to the show to have fun before heading out for the night.”

The Intelligent Fools have performed local shows in West Palm Beach as well as in Orlando, New Orleans, Baltimore, and other cities. “I love making people laugh, bringing warmth to the to the stage and expressing ourselves,” said Julias. “The show just happens to have our culture as a part of it as well.”
