Five secret agents will film themselves being silly and having a good time with the DeKalb locale today.

No, it’s not the Secret Service. It’s Mission IMPROVable, a Chicago-based improvisational group that marked DeKalb as its first stop on a four-show comedy tour.

MI will perform its comedy improv show at 7 p.m. today at the Holmes Student Center’s Regency Room.

The group performs 200 shows every year, with most being at colleges, according to Agent Chopper Sean Casey, one of the group’s members. He said the show is similar to the television show “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” The group members all have secret agent names. During the show, they play games called missions that rely on audience participation.

“We can’t do the show without the audience,” Casey said.

During the day and after the comedy show, MI will be in DeKalb shooting footage to create a pilot show to pitch to networks like Comedy Central and Spike.

“It’s a marriage of ‘Insomniac,’ ‘The Simple Life’ and ‘Queer Eye For The Straight Guy,’ except we’re straight,” Casey said of the pilot.

After NIU, the group will stop at Lewis University, Michigan State University and Quincy University to perform and take more footage to help create its pilot.

Casey said they want to shoot footage at a school located among cornfields because they want to capture a feeling: “What do college students do when they have nothing to do?” he said.

Rather than going to crazy places like New York City and Los Angeles like Dave Attell does for “Insomniac,” MI wants to put the camera in places where it hasn’t been … like DeKalb.

“If you see us filming and have got something, feel free to come by,” Casey said. “It’s not any sort of closed affair.”

The comedy show is being sponsored by the Residence Hall Association. There is no cost, and there will be $300 worth of door prizes, according to Chris Strupp, RHA programming vice president.
