spurn debuted in 2001 at the venerable Lower East Side performance space Collective: Unconscious. Since then, they have played at the Vital Theatre, McGinn-Cazale Theatre the 13th Street Repertory, and the People's Improv Theatre. They opened and closed the 2004 New York International Fringe Festival with sold-out shows at the SoHo Playhouse. They have also performed at various comedy clubs throughout NYC such as Ha! and the Gotham Comedy Club. In January 2006, they launched a video podcast project which has since garnered over 450,000 viewers and more than 4000 subscribers worldwide.

"spurn, the wickedly funny theatre ensemble, performs some of the most inventive and original comedy in town." -- BlogChelsea.com (February, 2007)

"Disgusting, horrifying, amusing" -- TimeOut New York (October 2006)

"Leaves its audience gasping for breath... as its relentlessly funny skits whip past us... the nimble ensemble leaps effortlessly between vignettes, giving the showing a blessed fluidity for such a wrenching satiric picture." -- The Village Voice

"Consistently funny... spurn shares (Kids in the Hall's) hard-edged, envelope-pushing, vaguely absurdist sensibility." -- New York Theatre Experience
