History Under the Influence is an improv format inspired by the YouTube/Comedy Central series Drunk History. It features Kevin Miller as its drunken narrator, and a rotating cast.

History

History Under the Influence was first performed in The Free Fringe at The Hideout Theatre on March 20, 2014 with a cast of Ryan Hill, Jillian Summar, Bridget Brewer, David Lampe, Caeriel Crestin, Mitchell Deane, and Peter Rogers. After a surprisingly successful show, Kevin submitted the show for a month-long run in The Threefer. History Under the Influence played five sold-out shows at the Hideout in May of 2014, featuring much of the original cast and several guests.

In June of 2014, Kevin attended the Finland International Improv Festival as an instructor and performed History Under the Influence with a European cast. This marked the format's first festival appearance.

History Under the Influence has continued appearances in and out of Austin, including festivals in Juneau AK, Providence RI, Tallinn Estonia, Amsterdam NL, and Las Vegas NV.
